"I can’t say nice enough things about the process of working with Martin. We decided to finish our basement, including a full bathroom, while I was pregnant and wanted the job wrapped up before the baby came, which gave a very hard deadline. Not only was Martin able to work with us contacting him two months out on this project, he was so responsive during the process, gave us great ideas, and kept us well-informed on everything that was happening with the project. From start to finish, we always felt that Martin was knowledgeable about what he was doing and didn’t seem bothered when we had last minute changes. The entire team was so clean, which gave me comfort given that I was pregnant at the time, and they were able to complete everything before the baby came. If I had more basements, I would definitely call Martin!"

Home Remodeling Pros of Central PA is here to provide service that treats the customer like family and gives the personalized service, top quality home products and expert installation that they expect. Home Remodeling Pros promises to maintain constant contact with our customers to ensure a level of comfort and satisfaction far above the industry standard.

"The project began mid-Sept 2024 and was never fully completed, even though it stretched into 2025. We worked with a designer on detailed plans, but the workers ignored them and followed only photos, causing major mistakes and rework. For example, they missed the pot filler in the coffee bar plans and had to reopen the wall for plumbing. Poor planning also left us with a smaller bathroom than before, despite our request for a larger one. They repeatedly ordered the wrong items and acted as if we wouldn?t notice when trying to install them. We had to inspect their painting because they left unfinished areas and paint runs. The ceiling fan was never installed?we had to do it ourselves. The project manager, who promised oversight, was rarely present. Combined with repeated errors and overcharging, it was a frustrating experience. Too many issues to list. I do not recommend this company."

"We added a full bathroom in our garage and an additional 16 ft wall with an interior door. The project went well and we’re very happy with the work that was completed. Bob is an amazing person to work with as is his wife Laura. They made the process easy from planning & permitting, to choosing the right materials and layout. Everything went as expected. Bob went above and beyond to insure the job was completed on time as we had a specific timeframe that we needed the job to be completed. We would hire Bob again for another project in the future. Thanks so much Bob!"

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Generally 1-2 weeks, depending on project complexity and material availability.

The International Building Code requires individual step risers in a residential staircase to measure between 4 and 7-3/4 inches and the maximum rise of a staircase not to exceed 12 feet between landings. Individual step treads can’t be less than 10 inches deep.

You have a little flexibility when installing a handrail against a wall. The minimum distance between the two must be at least 1.5 inches, and commercially available handrail bracket hardware accounts for that minimum. The maximum distance a handrail can be from a wall is 4.5 inches, provided it doesn't impede the walking area. 

The standard distance between deck stair stringers is 12 to 16 inches. However, these numbers vary by building material, so reference the maximum span for the material. For example, some composite materials call for a maximum distance of 10 inches to maintain their structural integrity. 

As a general rule, never leave more than 16 inches of space between your stringers. Deck stairs have higher load-bearing demands than the walking surface of the deck, so it’s important not to overshoot the space between your stair stringers.

Building exterior porch steps requires wood or material that can handle exposure to the outdoor elements. Use pressure-treated lumber for the stringers and pressure-treated cedar, outdoor-rated wood, or composite decking material for the rest of the structure.
