"Bill and his crew were fantastic to built a new picket fence for me in less than three hours. Bill is very reliable, highly skilled professional, and easy to work with. I will definitely use him for my future projects. He was truly a lifesaver who was able to complete my project in the most productive and efficient way. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him under the most stressful and time sensitive circumstances."

At Window Nation, we know replacement windows. We’re third-generation window replacement experts who have been lucky to provide homeowners replacement windows, siding, and doors for over fifteen years. We opened our first showroom in Maryland in 2006, quickly growing to serve homeowners in cities across the country – and we’re not stopping there. We’re grateful for every homeowner who has trusted us to upgrade their most important asset: their home. We’ve learned a lot about home improvement over the years, but the most important thing we learned isn’t about window replacement. We learned the home improvement industry isn’t about offering the best windows, siding and doors; it’s about the relationships we build with our customers.
"The installer was very professional and efficient. The job was finished in approximately three and half hours and he neat and cleaned up very well. We were quite pleased with the job and would recommend them."

"This company did a sales pitch by knocking on doors in our neighborhood. I unfortunately opend the door and talked to the lady and made the mistake of giving her my number for possible future renovations. The next day I received a call asking to set up an appointment. I said I was not interested at the moment, if I needed their services in the future I would contact them. This company has been harassing me by phone ever since. I've received 16 calls in a 10 days. If this company is an established reputable business then they should not need to knock on doors and harass people for business. Tell tale sign that something is definitely wrong with this business."

On average, replacing a deck railing costs about $925. This includes all the materials and labor needed to install a new porch or deck railing system with a durable finish. For instance, adding a new handrail on your front steps costs around $80 per linear foot. This price ensures your new railing is safe, looks great, and meets building codes.
Balusters and spindles offer structural support to the railing and run from the footing to the handrail. While their names are often used interchangeably, these support posts differ in their footing design. Balusters rest on a step, floor, or deck, while spindles have a footing rail attached to the bottom of the posts.
Choosing the right contractor for stair railing replacement is determined by the project’s complexity. A general contractor provides professional expertise and precision for a design that involves custom curves or intricate details. For straightforward installations, a qualified handyman delivers efficient service. Hiring skilled professionals guarantees that the installation meets all safety and building code requirements while ensuring lasting quality.
If it's still structurally sound, you can update your existing stair railing without removing it. By repairing any damages and then painting or refinishing it, you can give your staircase a fresh new look. This approach saves time and money while ensuring your railing meets all safety and building code requirements.
Reusing your existing stair spindles is a practical option when they’re in good condition. Notifying your contractor in advance is essential to ensure the spindles are preserved during removal. After removal, refinishing the spindles with a fresh coat of paint or stain will match them with your new railing design while maintaining sustainability and a cohesive aesthetic.
Stair railing balusters are mandated to maintain a spacing of no more than four inches apart. This precise measurement prevents a four-inch sphere from passing through and ensures the railing system is secure. Maintaining this gap is essential for structural integrity and safety. Be sure to verify that your installation meets these requirements as specified by local building codes.
