From start to finish, they were punctual, respectful of my space, and extremely detail-oriented. They handled everything from drywall and tiling to fixture installation with real craftsmanship. What stood out most was how clean they kept the work area each day and how clearly they communicated throughout the project. The bathroom looks better than I imagined, and I’ll definitely be calling Home Project Relief LLC again for future work. Highly recommended!"

Hello There, This is the owner of Tim's Home Improvement. We have been in this business for over 30 yrs. We are five employees strong including myself. I am a Hands on Contractor! Nothing gets done without my personal touch or approval period! You will deal with only me and will see me working on every job I put my name on. We are a full service company, meaning we do project from start to finish. We are not a sell you then sub the work out to God knows who company! I have been doing this since I graduated high school at 17. I spent nine years in the carpenters union and had top honors in my 4 year class. I love working with my clients and helping them with ideas that I have so much experience with. I think that is what separates me from some younger guy's who don't have as much knowledge and experience working with people. I truly love my job and helping my clients turning their dreams or needs into realities! Two of my sons are now aboard and eager to follow my lead. I can promise you professionalism, honesty and what I believe to be very affordable! We take our customers ratings very personally and work hard to keep our A rating! I look forward to working with all our Angie's list customers. It's always been a pleasure. Thanks, Tim.

"I hired Tim's Home Improvement to remodel my kitchen and he and his crew did a great job! Tim's communication on the project was exemplary. Tim kept me informed on everything he was going to do and when he was going to do it. He let me know what phone calls I needed to make to assist in the process. He answered my calls late into the evening and on weekends. His team did a great job of staying on task and was responsive to my concerns. I've never worked with a more proactive team on any home project. I have already hired Tim to do my bathroom remodel and am looking forward to working with him again! I would highly recommend Tim for any home remodel project. He can be trusted to do a great job and stay on budget."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

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.

Wood and metal are the two most common materials used. Breaking it down further, homeowners tend to use a slightly higher grade of wood than they might elsewhere—it isn’t uncommon to see maple, mahogany, redwood, and other luxury woods used. Metal tends to be aluminum or steel due to the fact that you don’t need very protective metal, as the material isn’t being subjected to any weather.

Yes, carpeted stairs are safer because carpet helps reduce the chances of slips and falls compared to harder materials like wood, vinyl, tile, or steel staircases, which lack the friction needed for a secure tread. And, if you do happen to fall, carpeted stairs also have more cushioning in the case of an accident.

Building a new staircase can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the design, materials, and whether an old one needs to be demolished. Straight staircases are quicker to build than curved or spiral staircases, which require more intricate design and precise measurements.

A handrail should start at the bottom step's riser and extend to the top riser, continuing slightly beyond both the top and bottom steps if possible. A good rule of thumb is from the nosing of the upper landing to the nosing of the lowest step. This extra length provides better grip and safety when entering or exiting the staircase.
