With 24 years experience in the business, I pride myself on my professionalism, as well as my ability to complete each project to the homeowner's total satisfaction. I handle outdoor construction in Central Maine. Call today!

"We were and are still thrilled with the project completed by Archadeck. There was a slight problem with settling the first year, and TJ replaced more than needed on a schedule that fit with us. Our project consisted of bringing in material to level a slope, installing over 800sf of patio pavers, and replacing a multi-level deck with a privacy wall. I would highly recommend Archadeck."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can often replace just the handrail if your existing balusters are in good condition and securely installed. This approach can save time and money, especially if the balusters already meet current building codes. However, make sure that the new handrail is compatible in size and shape and that you can securely fasten it to the existing baluster layout without compromising stability or safety.

The four-inch ball rule for railing is a rule of thumb used when installing or replacing railings on stairways and decks. It refers to the gaps that naturally occur between balusters or other infills in a railing system. The rule states that a four-inch sphere should be unable to pass through any of the gaps. This helps prevent the possibility of people or animals slipping through.

The standard distance between deck stair stringers is 12 to 16 inches. However, these numbers vary by building material, so reference the maximum span for the material. For example, some composite materials call for a maximum distance of 10 inches to maintain their structural integrity. 

As a general rule, never leave more than 16 inches of space between your stringers. Deck stairs have higher load-bearing demands than the walking surface of the deck, so it’s important not to overshoot the space between your stair stringers.

The maximum measurement between stair stringers is typically 18 inches on-center. However, the International Building Code only requires that a staircase can resist a live load of 40 pounds per square foot in residential construction.

You have a little flexibility when installing a handrail against a wall. The minimum distance between the two must be at least 1.5 inches, and commercially available handrail bracket hardware accounts for that minimum. The maximum distance a handrail can be from a wall is 4.5 inches, provided it doesn't impede the walking area.
