I need help putting handrails on my concrete stairs.
+1
I need to put hand rails up on two sets of my steps per my insurance company. Is was hoping to go to my home improvement store and buy them, to my surprise, you have to build your own. How do I figure out what size they should be? How do I measure for This? Any tips would really help. My steps are concrete .

Yup, standard building code. Wrought iron? Wood? Vinyl? Do you want to build yourself or hire out? See if these help.

Start by measuring the steps, as each will be different. You can rent a Hilti Gun, that's to bolt or screw things into cement. Stop by a home improvement store and ask for some help. There are books up front by the registers in Home Depot that you can buy for this project. Your local library has books on home improvents. I'd.,check to see if one of those has what you need. These books have illustrations to follow along with step by step instructions.
