"Musson was very professional, prompt, and exceeded my expectations! I couldn't be happier with the job they did from start to finish. They gave me an accurate estimate, provided excellent suggestions and ideas, and couldn't have been nicer throughout the entire transaction. I'm already planning to hire them back next year for additional improvements! Top notch company! "

"We were in the contracting/construction business for 30 years but are no longer. We hired Schmelling Contracting to install a new roof. He removed all of the old and reinstalled from the decking. I was extremely impressed with Matt Schmelling. From start to finish he showed up exactly when he said he would, or even early and did a great job. He addressed all of my questions professionally, in detail and was very courteous. He put his estimate in writing and there were no hidden charges. I would hire him again in a minute."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Permit requirements for replacing stair railings vary by location. In many areas, minor repairs or replacements that don’t alter the structure do not require a permit. However, significant changes, especially those that affect structural integrity or involve major design alterations, often need a permit. Check with your local building authority to ensure you comply with any regulations.

Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris, especially when cutting or drilling. Work gloves are also essential for gripping tools and handling sharp or splintered materials. If you’re working on a second-story deck or near an edge, consider wearing a safety harness. Hearing protection is a smart choice when using power tools, and steel-toe boots can prevent injuries from dropped materials.

Wood and metal are popular railing options for concrete structures. Although wood is less expensive, metal will offer more durability in the long run. Wood is more susceptible to the elements, like rain and wind, so it can wear down over time. 

As for metal, iron and stainless steel are the strongest and longest-lasting options, which is why they tend to be more popular than aluminum railings. Although if you’re looking to tighten your budget, aluminum is still a good choice. Vinyl is another railing option that stands up well against moisture, but it isn’t as attractive as wood or metal railings. Composite railing offers the look of wood without requiring as much maintenance.

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.

Yes, you can often replace just the handrail if your existing balusters are in good condition and securely installed. This approach can save time and money, especially if the balusters already meet current building codes. However, make sure that the new handrail is compatible in size and shape and that you can securely fasten it to the existing baluster layout without compromising stability or safety.
