"If I could give Stacks a 6 out of 5, I absolutely would. The owner contacted me quickly and was out to measure and provide a quote within days. I needed railings front and back and my focus was on providing stability for a family member. He was able to design railings that are extremely sturdy but look amazing and compliment the house. His work was very high quality and prices are fair. I would hire him again for another project."

"Steelworks Northwest did a great job installing hand rails on my front and back porches. I was so pleased with the work, I asked them to come back and install a handrail by my front door. They were very professional and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them."

"I cannot say enough good things about Vic and would highly recommend him to anyone I know. We stumbled across him on Angie's List as we needed help installing an egress window prior to the sale of our house. I'm so thankful we found him! We also had him take care of a few other projects like building a stair railing and addressing a plumbing issue. He did a great job on all of the projects we hired him for. He is hard working, dedicated and definitely knows what he is doing. His pricing was very reasonable and I felt like he really cared about taking care of his customers. All of those traits are not easy to find. I've been through a lot of contractors and he is definitely my favorite. I would hire him again in an instant."

"Scott is so detailed, talented, professional, and cleans up after himself. His work is an art. Our railings were custom, different than any others we have seen, clean horizontal lines (no welding can be seen), and absolutely BEAUTIFUL. FLAWLESS! It turned out better than we expected. We're remodeling our entire house and we have many contractors enter our home and have envied his craftsmanship and even asked for his name and number. One of the contractor does railings too and he said that this is the most beautiful railings he has ever seen. He even took pictures of it. We truly recommend him. He's very honest and great to work with. We actually have other projects in mind for him. He's a one-man show so he can get booked up pretty fast. But worth the wait if you can."

"Northwest Stair and Rail fulfilled my expectations. They are prompt, willing to explain the work, offer options. They did a great, clean job. My exterior stair rail is attractive and strong. Their bid price was reasonable and they offered more for less than some other quotes."

Install Stair Railings FAQs, answered by experts

To child- or pet-proof your deck railing, look for railing systems with narrow spacing—under 4 inches—between balusters or panels. For added safety, consider installing a clear acrylic or mesh guard along the inside of the railing to prevent small limbs or paws from slipping through. Avoid horizontal rails that adventurous kids can climb like ladders. You can also add self-closing gates at stair openings to limit access.

The maximum measurement between stair stringers is typically 18 inches on-center. However, the International Building Code only requires that a staircase can resist a live load of 40 pounds per square foot in residential construction.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

There are several ways you can finish stairs. If you like the carpeted look, you may choose to install new carpeting for an update. This is often the easiest way to proceed since the stairs' condition and appearance won’t matter as much if the staircase is in good structural shape. 

The condition of the stairs under the carpet can dictate your next move. You can sand, stain, and apply a clear coat if the stairs are hardwood. You can also paint the stairs, try epoxy floor ideas, or install new hardwood treads if the stairs are made with plywood.

Pricing specifics depend on where you’re shopping, but treated wood usually tends to be the most inexpensive railing type. However, treated wood may be less durable than some other choices, like aluminum or composite railing. Though saving money upfront is definitely attractive, it’s important to remember that your railing is an investment that will continue to evolve over time. Wood is very high maintenance, so opting for another material to save money on maintenance might be less costly in the long run.
