"Josh offered his opinion and expertise in completing our front yard project. Cleaned up all existing landscaping and installed river rock. The project was completed promptly and professionally. We have since used him for several other projects at our home, rental properties and referred him to family."

"This guy was great. Came out, explained the rail to me, showed me an example of his rail. I didn't love one of the more ornamental pieces of the railing and he said he could just make the railing without it (which he did). He installed the railing while I was at work, then called to make sure I liked it saying he could remove it and start over if I didn't. He then told me the railing has a lifetime warranty - his lifetime.
Really can't recommend him enough and I am very picky and was nervous about just calling a handrailing guy on craigslist. He does nice work and is a nice person.

"Adam was great! Our old fence was beginning to splinter and fall, which isn't safe when you have 2 dogs. After contacting Adam for a quote, he came right out and made a plan to replace our fence, a gate that was shoddily done by another contractor, and add 2 additional gates. On the 2 days of work, his team was friendly and professional. Having a new, safe fence brings us ease of mind when we let the dogs out and we would 100% work with Adam again."

"Within days of purchasing the deal, I received the instructions and paper to draw my table templates. The table has 2 drop leaves plus 2 additional leaves that can be inserted in the table. The templates were pretty easy to draw. The finished pads were delivered in a very short time. They fit the table and each of the 4 leaves perfectly and magnetically lock together to keep them aligned when on the table. A year and a half later, I still love these pads."

"What an incredible experience it was to work with Dan and his staff! The work that they did was absolutely excellent in every way and far, far exceeded what any other painter was willing to do for us. I am always nervous about lead around my young children, and told them that up front. They said, "Don't worry," and they were right; they were neat as a pin and didn't spread a speck of dust where it shouldn't be. For all this excellent work, they actually charged far LESS than I would have paid for other painters. I would absolutely recommend them!"

"I can't praise the workers highly enough. Everything was professionally done. The entire area was cleaned at the end of each day. They made every effort to minimize disruption to my use of the spaces. One day there was a wind storm and a piece of fascia on my neighbor's house came loose and was flapping against the house. The neighbors were out of town. Bob Marburger, the manager on the project was able to pull the fascia down. He did it without any consideration of how he might get paid for his time. In fact, when my neighbor asked him how much he was charging for the fix; Bob told him to forget it. That is an excellent example of the type of person Rick Horn hires. On more than one occasion, they took my garbage to the curb or did other things that helped me out but were unrelated to their project. I have already hired them for another project. Their prices are fair--not the lowest or the highest; but the quality you will get for that fair price is excellent. Rick Horn Construction gets my highest recommendation with no reservation."

"They did a fantastic job! There was a substantial glitch towards the end of the job. Jim resolved it within 90 minutes and had another workman there within hours. Photo was taken before plumbing fixtures were installed, it shows tile work only."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Oakmont, PA

Pressure-treated lumber is the most inexpensive deck railing material. It's a cost-effective option that offers a good balance of durability and affordability for budget-conscious homeowners. Pressure-treated wood meets essential safety standards while keeping upfront costs low. In contrast, vinyl, polyurethane, and composite materials tend to be more expensive but offer additional aesthetic and maintenance benefits.

To calculate how much deck railing you need, measure the length of all the edges of your deck where railings are required (excluding any openings or areas bordered by the house). Since precise measurements are crucial, it's a good idea to hire a professional. Contractors have the expertise to accurately measure and install your deck railings.

In most cases, safety standards require railings on steps with more than four risers, steps wider than 44 inches, and decks over 30 inches high, measured from the next level down.

Railings should also be between 34 and 38 inches tall. Regulations can vary based on your location, so it's important to check your local building codes or consult a local contractor. There are also rules about the size of the gaps between pickets and between the bottom of the railing and the deck.

Before installing a railing on your front porch, you'll need to check local permitting requirements. Local building authorities may have specific codes that require a permit—or, in some cases, no permit at all. Reviewing your city's guidelines and consulting a qualified professional will help ensure your project meets all legal and safety standards, preventing any unexpected issues during inspections.

Deciding whether to repair or replace your deck railings depends on the extent of the damage and whether you can match new materials to the old ones. If you have minor issues, repair might be an option. However, when it's challenging to match existing materials, replacing the railings can give your deck a fresh start and reset its lifespan. A decking expert can assess your railings and recommend the best course of action to improve safety and maintain a cohesive look.
