A stair and railing contractor installs and repairs staircases, treads, risers, handrails, balusters and newel posts, and builds interior and exterior railing systems in wood, metal, cable or glass.
As soon as possible. Railings and handrails help prevent falls, so a loose or wobbly rail is a safety concern. A contractor can secure or replace posts and rails so they hold firmly.
Look at examples of the railing style you want, ask about materials and finishes and confirm the design will meet local building code requirements. Get a written estimate with removal and finishing included.
Cost depends on the length of railing, materials, custom fabrication, the number of balusters and posts, stair configuration, finishing and removal of existing components.
Plan an alternate route if a staircase will be out of use, clear the area and remove wall hangings along the stairs. Decide on materials and finishes in advance to avoid delays.
