"This whole experience went better than any other project we've had done. Caleb, the owner, spoke with me first and was willing to look at the bathroom the same day. I got a quote for just the shower and one for the entire bathroom. We decided to replace just the shower. I received weekly phone calls updating me on when they could start. They were able to start earlier than anticipated and they completed the work quickly and efficiently. I was trying to coordinate this from another state and they did a great job taking pictures and staying in touch. The shower looks amazing."

"We needed a new sunroom for our home and did not know where to go and seek expertise. We found this business on Homeadvisor and were really happy about the good ratings. Mark Belvin and his team were very professional from the start of the project to finish. Mark answered every question we had, helped us learn about what needed to be done. His designer, Dave, drew up our vision and made a clear 3-d design so we could see how things would look before renovating. Mark has a true talent and true craftsmanship. I recommend them to anyone seeking work done for their home. We love our closed in sunroom and knowing we can have family over and entertain again is very nice. Thanks again, Ultimate Craftsman!"

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

The best finish for wood stairs is polyurethane, specifically a high-durability option like oil-based or water-based polyurethane. Oil-based polyurethane provides a rich, amber tone that enhances the wood’s natural grain and is highly durable, making it ideal for areas with heavy foot traffic. Water-based polyurethane, while slightly less durable, dries faster, has less odor, and maintains the wood’s natural color without yellowing over time.

While they sound similar, handrails and guardrails serve different purposes. A handrail is the part of the railing you grip for balance and support while walking up or down stairs. A guardrail, on the other hand, is a safety barrier designed to prevent falls from elevated platforms such as balconies, decks, or stair landings. A single rail system may serve both functions in some staircases, but code requirements can differ for each.

Annually, to check for structural stability, surface wear, and secure fittings.

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.

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.
