Lux Renovations, LLC exclusive provider of the Owens Corning Basement Finishing System, has been serving New England homeowners since 2002. Our dedication to customer experience and satisfaction has won us Owens Corning's top customer service ranking nationally for the last 17 years in a row. Something like that doesn't happen by accident. We are committed to insuring that all of our customers describe their experience with us as "the best contractor experience I ever had". If you are considering a basement finishing project please allow us to show you how Owens Corning has changed the industry with this unique system. A free consultation and design is always available.

"Overall, the finishing of my basement went pretty smooth. The Owens Corning product, drop down ceiling, and flooring are all really sharp. In the beginning everything went fast and smooth with the framing and wall/floor/ceiling install being done within 2 weeks. There were some hiccups with minor imperfections, tv mount in wrong spot, etc. Those were fixed promptly. After that is when I ran into issues with other items in my contract that were not taken care of and the project felt forgot about. Just had some minor electric work, stairs to get carpeted, and didn't receive hanging clips yet. I had to constantly ask about these items and every answer would be "I forgot to ask or send the clips". I eventually got the items completed, but am not happiest that it took almost a month and constant reminding to get these items that should've been scheduled for during the project."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

The best finish for wood stairs is polyurethane, specifically a high-durability option like oil-based or water-based polyurethane. Oil-based polyurethane provides a rich, amber tone that enhances the wood’s natural grain and is highly durable, making it ideal for areas with heavy foot traffic. Water-based polyurethane, while slightly less durable, dries faster, has less odor, and maintains the wood’s natural color without yellowing over time.

Wood and metal are popular railing options for concrete structures. Although wood is less expensive, metal will offer more durability in the long run. Wood is more susceptible to the elements, like rain and wind, so it can wear down over time. 

As for metal, iron and stainless steel are the strongest and longest-lasting options, which is why they tend to be more popular than aluminum railings. Although if you’re looking to tighten your budget, aluminum is still a good choice. Vinyl is another railing option that stands up well against moisture, but it isn’t as attractive as wood or metal railings. Composite railing offers the look of wood without requiring as much maintenance.

While they sound similar, handrails and guardrails serve different purposes. A handrail is the part of the railing you grip for balance and support while walking up or down stairs. A guardrail, on the other hand, is a safety barrier designed to prevent falls from elevated platforms such as balconies, decks, or stair landings. A single rail system may serve both functions in some staircases, but code requirements can differ for each.

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30” or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a local porch handrail pro, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.
