“Do It Yourself” products and services have afforded consumers new opportunities when it comes to remodeling; however knowing when to DIY can be the key to project success. In certain situations finding the right trade specialist will make a huge impact on your project timeline and finished results. If you do plan to hire out; getting a referral from a friend or family member is one of the best ways to find a solid contractor. Additionally, here are some key situations we recommend hiring a railing specialist for your project:
- Custom Railing Systems
No matter what building materials have been selected, custom railing considerations will often require the use of a specialist. Projects that involve on site welding or steel fabrication are good examples. Designs that promote winding stairways, radius rail sections and mounting railings to steel beams are some of the most common custom railing applications. Other custom installation considerations may include:
- spiral staircases
- raised and cantilevered deck and railing construction
- wall removal and structural renovations
- waterproofing and flashing prior to installation
- epoxied connections
- sloped or ramped railing installations
- Material Innovations and New Products
One of the best times to hire a railing specialist is when selecting the newest products or the latest most innovative materials. Your installer should be well versed and able to educate you about new products. They should be able to provide examples and answer any product questions you may have. If utilizing the most modern and unique designs is your goal; consider using a specialist. Specialty products often come with a long lifespan and great value to the consumer; however they can also pose a strong a learning curve and unique considerations that a well versed installer will recognize prior to construction.
- Stairway Remodeling and Construction
To put it simply; constructing stairs can be a challenge. Complex angles, turns and returns often require on site templating and fabrication. Code requirements for stairs can be difficult to comprehend and could require building inspections. Regardless of the type of materials selected, custom handrails for your stairs may require special equipment or advanced wood joinery techniques, which may require a high level of skill. Consider hiring a contractor if you plan to remodel your stairs.
