What Is Included
Full staircase length measurement for handrail sizing
Wall stud location along the stair wall
Bracket angle setting to match the stair pitch
Bracket fastening into studs or load-rated toggle bolts where studs are not available
Handrail attachment to all brackets with fasteners fully tightened
Full body weight test at multiple points along the rail before completing the job
When to Call
Staircase with no handrail on either side -- code violation and fall hazard
Existing handrail that wobbles or pulls away from the wall when gripped
Handrail brackets anchored into drywall only -- they will fail under load
Handrail at the wrong height -- Maryland code requires 34 to 38 inches from stair nosing
Rotted or split wood rail that is no longer safe to grip under body weight
What Affects the Cost
Every job is different. Here is what determines the cost:
Staircase length -- number of brackets required scales with the run
One side versus two sides of the staircase
Material -- pine versus oak versus poplar rail sections are priced differently
Whether the old rail needs to be removed and wall holes patched before installation
