Iron Balusters Stairs and Handrail Remodel in Moorestown NJ











New Iron Balusters and Hardwood Stairs and Handrail Remodel in Moorestown NJ. This was a real nice couple who both worked during the day and gave us access to the house for duration of the project. Can I say something here? I don't know why, but it seems like every job that is scheduled like that, always goes smoothly. Not saying others don't go smoothly, but maybe there's less pressure? or drama? and we can concentrate fully on task at hand instead of worrying about cats or dogs or children being near or around all the tools and open doors and such, and not having to juggle cars in the driveway daily.  I'm not complaining, but it is nice whenever there are less things to worry about.  So, if you need stair and rail work done, and you have a vacation scheduled in the near future, many folks schedule them at same time, to make life easier for them and us. And they come home to a brand new foyer/stair/rail, and they didn't have to live with the daily disruption of their life. Anyway, they couldn't be happier, after replacing the floors, and remodeling their master bath, we came in and removed the builder grade pine stairs that were set really badly out of level, and replaced them with a brand new custom fit stair built correctly, and installed correctly. We followed with the posts and rail and nosing, followed by the stainer/painter, and we came back and installed the iron balusters. So if you're living with that original builder grade stair that you hate, be sure to give Ron  a call at 215-694-5046 and schedule your FREE appointment, or send him some pics of your current foyer/stair to his email at 45stairman@gmail.com, and he can often give you a very close approximate number from that. So, if you want your very own New Iron Balusters and hardwood Stairs and Handrail Remodel and you live in Moorestown NJ, or surrounding towns like Haddonfield, Mt Laurel, Medford, or Marlton, call today.

New Oak Handrail In Moorestown NJ

New Oak Handrail in Moorestown NJ. We left the oversized starting step and the stair treads intact.
Homeowner wanted a safer and more user-friendly, (and beautiful) handrail than the one that was original to the house, which was in bad shape. We left the posts also, but extended them to raise the rail 3-4 inches to bring it up to the required 34" from edge of stair nosing. We then installed the new rail "over-the-post" style. All new balusters freshly painted and secured, with a darker stain on the new rail gives a nice contrast to the lighter colored stair treads.

Whatever your Stair or Rail needs, feel free to give me a call to schedule your in-home consultation. I've been restoring stairs and rails back to their original glory for over 20 years all over the Delaware Valley.

Maple Victorian Newel Post and Rail Installed in Medford NJ



Here's a nice example of a Maple Victorian Box Newel Post and Handrail to match the Maple floor and Staircase. The Balusters are 1 1/2" sq. at base, the box newel is 6 1/4" sq. at base. Each Rail part has a style number assigned to it by its' respective manufacturer. This customer went with the 5715 Balusters and the 4091FL(uted) starting Post, and the 4075FL(uted) Posts for upstairs. The 4075 Newel Post is 3 1/2" sq. We used the 6900 series Raleigh Jr Handrail, which is 2 3/8" high and 2 5/8" wide. I like the combination, it gives a very classic look, which fit the house well. Customer has grandchildren visiting often, and wanted something very sturdy. Everything we do is very sturdy and solid, but nothing is more sturdy and solid than a big, 6" box newel.
Whatever your situation is, chances are I've seen it before, sometimes dozens of times, sometimes hundreds of times, in the course of 20 years. I love ripping out old junky Rails. Especially the ones that were obviously done by someone who had no idea what they were doing, and they're on the verge of falling down, and literally falling apart. I've seen people use multiple neckties tied from one Baluster to another to keep their children from crawling or falling through the gaps in the Railing. I wish I took 20 years of videos just for moments like that. Kind of funny and kind've not. I've seen some really unsafe situations. If you have an unsafe stair or Rail situation, don't hesitate to call me at 215-694-5046 and schedule your free consultation.
