"If I could give this company a 6 out of 5 stars I would! They did a fantastic job overhauling my mother's deck, back patio, fencing, and front portico. All of the work was absolutely essential for safety and structural reasons, and I'm so glad I chose OSSA to do the work. My mother has Alzheimer's, which presented additional issues, but the entire crew was incredibly kind, respectful, and understanding of the unique challenges they faced. They were responsive and kept me aware of everything regarding the job along the way. My mother is so pleased, and I have the peace of mind that all of her outdoor space is safe, beautiful, and accessible. I will be hiring OSSA to do some work in my own home, as I look to make necessary improvements in the future. I've told everyone I know how how wonderful they are. 6 out of 5 stars!"

We service residential and commercial needs. Whether you have a major remodel, home addition, minor home repairs, or anything in between we can help. We are a master plumbing and gas fitter as well. Quality, professionalism, and workmanship are the foundation of our business. Our biggest priority is our customers satisfaction. We provide competitive pricing without a lack of quality or professionalism. We are built on the premise that without our customers we wouldn't be here.

"Our deck caught fire last summer and we contracted Chris Heinz to do the rebuilding and replacement of our fire-damaged exterior. Chris was wonderful to work with! He worked with our insurance company tirelessly and also kept us informed every step of the way. He and his crew removed our old deck and siding, and built a new deck, a landing and stairs off our kitchen, installed a new sliding door and four windows, replaced our siding and trim, and installed new outdoor lighting. There were a few delays due to the pandemic and materials being readily unavailable from one of the manufacturers, but the timeframe was reasonable given the circumstances. Chris and his crew did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier. We love our beautiful new deck and the new siding and trim. We get so many compliments from our neighbors and passers-by! We will definitely go to Chris next time we need work on our house and recommend him to everyone!"

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

If the stairs are already covered in carpet, you will need to remove the old carpet and possibly the carpet pad. Any damage to the stairs like cracks, loose boards, or creaky treads may also need to be repaired. You may also want to sand and refinish or paint wood stairs before installing a carpet runner.

Most building codes require handrails on stairways with four or more risers or individual steps. Handrails are not often required on a staircase with three or fewer steps, but local building codes or other regulations may still require them. Some homeowners also prefer handrails on three or fewer risers for comfort, insurance, or mobility reasons.

The general rule of thumb is that posts should be no more than 6 feet apart when calculating railing post spacing. The purpose of a deck or staircase railing system is to provide safety and support. For this support, the more posts the system has, the sturdier it’ll be. However, local municipal building codes always take precedence.

The most comfortable height depends on you and your household, but most railings are between 32 inches and 40 inches. To be more granular, disability requirements require railing heights to be between 34 inches and 38 inches high. For this reason—and to remain compliant—many people find these heights perfectly acceptable and stay within these ranges.

Common problems include loose railings, cracked treads, and worn finishes. Regular maintenance prevents major issues.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
