Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Local building codes can vary, but it's most common for a handrail to be required when there are three or more steps. It may be a good idea to install one with two-step stairs if someone in the home may have difficulty using the stairs without one. Always check local codes to see what's required in your area. 

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. 

Stair runners are often easier to install than a standard carpet because the latter must be cut to fit the stairs with extra steps taken to prevent fraying at the edges. Stair runners offer extra decorative options, padding, and traction to reduce the risk of falls. They can also offer a nice way to transition from one flooring type, like cement or epoxy floors to softer carpeting on an upper story of the home.

Whether you paint or stain stair railings depends on your aesthetic goals and preferences. Some people prefer to stain because it highlights wood's natural beauty. But you may want to paint your railings if you're going for a particular color scheme. Paint may cost less than wood stain and is usually available in a wider range of options.

Generally 1-2 weeks, depending on project complexity and material availability.
