Did I pay too much for a steel handrail

John,

You didn't say what part of country the work was done. You mentioned you received and gave the go-ahead on an estimate for the type of work your job site required. Perhaps it was the amount of time used to do the job that surprised you. You have to ask yourself if the job was done to a professional standard and will hold up under normal usage? If so, then you should be happy, the company did its job in a professional, quick and timely manner for the price agree by you. Still I would say it was fair amount for a job well done.

Sounds about right, I charge $35 a foot uninstalled.

It is clear you don't know anything about me.

Thanks for the reply. Very interesting idea.

When we add the deck we planned on, I will have just that problem and I like the idea.

I would think so!

Nicopress swagers I have. I don't know what a Felco cable cutter looks like but my big crimpers have a cutter that handles 1/4" easily without ravelling the strands.

I'll have to work out the tensions needed as a function of spacing but I sure like the concept!
