"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

"John and his crew did an excellent job. Even took the time to hang our new smoke alarms that were upgraded. Repaired places on closet walls that were not necessary but wanted us to be satisfied. Reasonable pricing and excellent customer service.."

"John did another amazing job! Hands down. We have used John 3 separate times just in the last 4 months. In truth, I believe some of these projects may have been delayed except for the fact that we were so pleased with his service that we decided to move forward with completing as much as we could. John has painted our lake house, a commercial business and now a house we are preparing for sale. All of which were done professionally in every sense of the word.

Each time I contacted John he returned every call promptly. He communicated very well with me and several other parties that were involved to ensure completion. ( People that assisted with locking and unlocking buildings/homes etc) As well, he went out of his way to drive over an hour and a half for one of the 3 jobs (one way) with no additional fees. He was able to start this most current  job 2 days earlier than we anticipated which really assisted us with scheduling other contractors. The end result is the same each time. He is spot on accurate with his painting. Ii admit Im quite particular and I haven't been disappointed once.

You absolutely won't be disappointed with his workmanship, reliability and costs. We are so thrilled to have found a great painter. We were skeptical at first since the gentleman we used in the past retired. We were not sure we would be able to find someone we could count on. However, to our surprise we are thrilled to have found this gem. Thanks John for another great job and for always going out of your way to make each experience smooth and seamless. We will be in touch soon!

Install Stair Railings FAQs, answered by experts

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

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.

Yes, there are specific building codes for cable railings, but they vary by location. Local building authorities and codes dictate the requirements for cable railing systems, including cable spacing, height, and tension. Check with your local authorities and follow these regulations to ensure you comply with safety standards when installing cable railings.

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.
