Any recommendations? I have a contractor that can install and have couple of quotes between 7.5K and 14K. Anybody gone down this route and think that glass railing was a mistake?

I'd rather not drill into the stone or mortar to hang a mailbox. I've seen a few mailboxes that are mounting to the metal railing on the front porch. I can't seem to find any products designed specifically for this. Has anyone else seen such a product. Or any ideas on how best to go ...

Who here has glass inserts for deck railings instead of just pickets. How are they for helping with wind? We moved and we built a huge pergola/wind wall so never had to worry about wind. But now our upper deck any sudden gust and low chairs are being pushed around or over. In a prefect world yes whe...

So my existing wooden staircase has only 5 spindles sitting on top of tiles. Since I'm retiling, I need to tile that section. One way would be to leave the spindles untouched and tiling around it. But that's really ugly. My preferred way is to remove the spindles, tile, reinstall the spindles. How d...

In our quest to replace the aging golden oak in our house we are eyeing up the turned balusters and oak railings as our next project. Before I look into DIY solutions I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of cost per linear foot for contractors? I realize material cost vary but ...

I'm building a deck by permit and finally approaching the final inspection, but the inspector asks me to add a railing to the staircase as it is more than 3 steps. The stringer does not align with the deck post perfectly (off 5/8 approximately, see pic), so if I bolt another post ...

I need a good contractor to do the job well, for a reasonable cost. Please recommend one. Part of railing is not straight, so it has to be custom made to fit my stairs. Personal experience only, please.
