"Davidson and Son. I had a deck around my pool put up exactly 1 year ago from today by Justin’s and his crew and it is now separating from every joint and he refuses to fix it. He told me he would be back last year because the wood started to warp after a month of being up and he never came. I let it go because it was only a couple pieces but now the entire deck is separating. There are a ton of nails and screws the deck posts were pit directly into the ground instead of using sona tubes so it will surely rot a lot quicker if it was done the right way. Mind you this is someone I have known for years as well and does not stand behind his work and told me he spent enough time on it and will not fix it and doesn’t make the wood. Except if everything was plum etc. it wouldn’t be doing this."

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. 

It depends on whether you’re looking at residential or commercial buildings. For residential buildings, the 2018 International Residential Code asks for a maximum riser (or rise) height of 7 3/4 inches and a minimum tread depth (or run) of 10 inches.

For fixed stairs in commercial buildings, OSHA requires a rise between 6 and 7.5 inches, with a run between 10 and 14 inches. The standards are different for spiral staircases.

Choosing between staining or painting stairs depends on your desired look and the condition of the wood. Staining enhances the natural wood grain and is more durable for high-traffic areas, making it ideal for high-quality wood and a traditional finish. Painting offers more color flexibility and a modern appearance, which is great for lower-quality wood or matching specific décor, but it can chip and require more maintenance.

The most comfortable stair riser height is 7 inches. Building your deck stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. It is possible to design your deck stairs with risers measuring up to 12 inches, but this height could be challenging for people with mobility issues, children, or smaller pets.

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.
