- Do stair railings need to meet building code?
- Yes — Massachusetts code specifies minimum height, maximum baluster spacing, and graspability requirements for stair railings. The pros we connect you with size and install to meet these requirements.
- Can you replace just part of a railing?
- Sometimes — it depends on the existing railing's condition and style. Your matched pro will assess whether a section replacement or full replacement makes more sense during the site visit.
- Do you work in occupied homes?
- Yes — most interior railing work is done in occupied homes. The pros in our network work cleanly and minimize disruption.
- What's the difference between interior and exterior stair railings?
- Exterior railings need weather-resistant finishes and secure masonry anchoring. Interior railings focus more on aesthetics and handrail comfort, with wall or floor mounting. Your matched pro handles both.
