"Ryland was exceptional! Looking at my new deck, automatically brings a big smile to my face! I am so pleased with the work and the fact he got it done before my visitors arrived. I won’t know the full impact until the weather gets cold, but the ramp is heated, so if all goes as planned, I won’t sustain another broken bone! I highly recommend Ryland to anyone needing good quality wirk."

"He was able to get out to give us a quote quickly for exterior window trim after we were ghosted by a different handyman company. Great quality work and completed it when we needed it. Will definitely use them again for future projects."

Stair Companies questions, answered by experts

Building codes include several requirements that deal with the height, extension, and placement of staircase handrails. If your staircase is wider than 44 inches, for instance, you must install handrails on each side. If narrower than that, choose the side option that provides the most secure support structure for the handrail. 

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.

The lifespan of a spiral staircase depends on the material used and the level of maintenance provided. Metal and composite staircases can last up to 30 years or more with proper care, while wood staircases may require refinishing or repairs over time. Regular maintenance extends the life and appearance of your staircase.

You can refinish stairs without standing by using chemical strippers, buffing with a power buffer, or covering with a different finish. While these are all viable options, choosing high-grit (smooth) sandpaper and working carefully will be the best way to prepare the stairs for refinishing. Power sanders can be purchased at low prices and can save hours of sanding work.

DIY repairs are possible for minor cosmetic issues, such as tightening loose screws, provided you have the right tools. However, for extensive or structural repairs, it is recommended to hire a professional. Professional services ensure the structural integrity of the stairs and railings, guaranteeing safety and providing a long-term solution.
