Handrails and Stairs in a Monticello home that predates it
Porch steps on the older homes around Monticello have often been rebuilt more than once, each time a little differently. What matters when you replace them again is getting the tread depth and the rise consistent, because steps that vary underfoot are the ones people trip on. Kevin rebuilds them to sit right and carry real weight, and resets the posts so the rail is something you can actually lean on.
Monticello is the seat of Jefferson County, and the homes here are among the oldest anywhere we work. That age is why Kevin measures and builds to the real room, so an update fits and lasts.
Porch steps, stair treads and handrails see a lot of use and a lot of weather, and they are worth keeping solid. We rebuild porch steps and stair treads, set and anchor railing posts to hold real weight, and replace rails and balusters on decks where they have gone soft. Railing posts that were not secured properly will loosen over time whatever the rail on top looks like, so that is where the work goes. Most of these are one or two day jobs, and Kevin evaluates each one himself before starting.

Handrails and Stairs in Monticello Questions
My railing feels loose. Is that a real safety issue?
It can be. Railing posts that were not secured properly will fail over time whatever the rail on top of them looks like, so that is where Kevin starts. He sets and anchors posts to hold real weight.
Can you rebuild worn porch or deck steps?
Yes. Kevin rebuilds porch steps and stair treads and replaces rails and balusters that have gone soft. On an older home the wear usually shows at the base, where the steps meet the ground and stay damp.
Are the older Monticello homes different to work on?
A little, yes. A home this age has usually settled over the years, so the rooms are rarely perfectly square, and Kevin builds to the room as it actually is rather than to a standard it never had. Most people are updating the space for how they live now, and where you want to keep an original detail, we take the time to work with it. He measures before anything is cut.
Do you come out to Monticello?
Yes, regularly. Monticello is a straight run east of Tallahassee and well inside our normal range, so getting out here is rarely an issue.
