Wavy Iron Balusters Ocean City NJ. This was a new rail and iron baluster makeover in a couple's summer shore house. The old rail was really wimpy, note the very thin starting post in upper before picture. The couple have many grandchildren running around the house all summer and she was concerned about safety. You can tell the wife is an artist because she picked out the "wavy" balusters that is in keeping with the nautical theme of the shore house. They spent many years living abroad, and now that they're retired they can have their big family over the house and not have to worry about the old railing being a safety hazard. I'm always amazed at how amazed folks are at how sturdy our rails are when we're all done. They say things like, "I didn't know that rails could be this strong wow!" I guess people get used to flimsy construction everywhere they go, and assume that's just how it is. It's still satisfying to hear things like that at the end of every job even after 26 years and thousands of stairs and rails later. So, if you want your very own wavy iron balusters and you live in Ocean City NJ, or other shore towns like Margate, Ventnor, Wildwood, Longport, Strathmere, Sea Isle City, Avalon, or Stone Harbor, then give Ron a call at 215-694-5046 or email him at 45stairman@gmail.com and schedule your FREE consultation and learn all about the many options you have to beautify and customize your stair and rail.

S Scrolls Iron Balusters in Princeton NJ. Scrolls, scrolls, and more scrolls. Anyone who loves their scrolls is going to love this. These new homeowners were moving to a new town, new house, new school, new neighborhood.  So, naturally they wanted new rails to spruce up the place a bit. And wow what a difference! A little iron goes a long way. They couldn't be happier and that makes me happy.

One more house brought into the new century by going back a bit in timeless style, I think. Classic never goes out of style. I believe he was a financial consultant and wanted his new house, and new foyer to reflect that a little bit. We needed one day to remove the old wrought iron, and to install the new. The floor guy came in and sanded and stained the stairs and hardwood throughout the house. Once he was done, we came back and installed the iron.    

If you're loving this style and want some for your house, give us a call and we'll help you select a pattern that works for you and your style. This has a silver finish which gives it that shine you may be able to see up close in pictures. And if you're in Princeton NJ, or surrounding towns such as East or West Windsor, Lawrenceville, or Cranbury, give Ron a call at 215-694-50246 to schedule your FREE consultation and pick put your own S Scrolls Iron Balusters or any of the other of the dozens of styles to choose from in our product portfolio.

Replace Stairs Handrails Iron Balusters Blue Bell PA

Here we Replace Stairs and Install new Oak Handrails and install beautiful old-world Tuscan style Iron Balusters in Blue Bell PA. We helped an extremely discerning homeowner design her very own creation to fit her home's decor. Her wise husband wisely allowed her complete freedom while she went through the selection process. Whenever he was asked what he thought, he wisely said "I love it!!" And I must say, she really did a good job of allowing him multiple opportunities to agree with her. They really were a cute couple. It was nice to see.  It's not every day you see a happily married couple who know how to communicate, and show love and respect for one another especially in an environment where contracting and design questions need to be discussed and decided. And, I think she did a fabulous job of selecting just the right design, don't you think?

Ok, where were we? Oh yeah, so, anyway, we pulled out the old builder grade posts, rail, and wood balusters, and replaced them with what you see here. It looks like we Replaced the Stairs but we just refinished the treads and repainted the staircase and it looks brand new. It helped that her stair was in really good shape to begin with. We installed the new posts and handrails and drilled all the holes for the iron balusters to be installed later. The painter then came in and stained everything to perfection, and we followed him with the iron balusters within a day or two of polyurethane drying.

So, if you're in the Blue Bell PA or surrounding area, like Ft Washington, Lafayette Hill, Plymouth Meeting, Springhouse, Gwynedd, Abington, or Ambler, and are as wise as this husband, be sure to give Ron a call today and setup your FREE consultation. He can be reached at 215-694-5046, or his email is 45stairman@gmail.com. You can get back in your wife's good graces in no time,  and she'll glory in her very own brand new Handrails and Iron Balusters. She may even tell you how smart you are and how strong you are, and how good-looking you.....ok, ok,  maybe we're going a bit too far, but you get the point.

How To Replace Painted Wood Balusters With Iron Balusters Blue Bell PA

How To Replace Painted Wood Balusters With Iron Balusters in Blue Bell PA. Tip #1.Call your local professional. Ok here goes a little rant I'm going to apologize in advance as I start this blog post, I'm remembering the last job I went to measure down near the Jersey Shore. The poor homeowner hired what she believed to be a competent carpenter. He "installed" all the posts, handrails, and iron balusters, but this being new construction when the inspector came in he gave her a big fail sticker. Now I have to undo everything he did and start over. The only parts we can salvage are the iron balusters. So here's a partial list of what he did wrong.
1. He set the posts too high and secured them to the floor with trim screws....result: very weak, very crooked newel posts.
2. He then cut the nosing in but didn't secure it to the sub floor correctly...result:very loose nosing that the balusters have to sit in.
3. He used wrong measurements for the baluster spacing....result: erratic spacing and baluster spaces that are bigger than 4" apart. Very big no no to inspectors.
4. He placed the volute posts too close to the edge of the bullnose tread...result: the balusters can't encircle the newel posts as they're supposed to.
5. He connected the rail fittings together using trim screws instead of rail bolts....result: really ugly rail joints that he didn't chisel or sand at all.
6. He didn't know where to cut the volute upeasing....result: the ugliest volute connection of all time.

I could go on and on but you get the idea. I know I got maybe a little too technical here but I was trying to make a point. Handrail installation is a very technically challenging project and not to be tackled by amateurs or DIY types. That is not to say no one can figure it out. I've seen a handful of jobs done by amateurs over the years that were really good. But that's only about 5 out of the dozens in I've seen in 35 years of life in construction.
With the homeowners permission I'll post some photos once I've started her job.
This job with photos above, however was a job we completed a few months ago in Blue Bell, where we removed the existing painted wood balusters and installed their new powder coated iron balusters in about a day and a half. We had to remove some carpeting and replace it with what we call "false ends" which are basically miniature tread ends that cover up the edge of your existing open stair treads that were covered with carpet and full of staples and not too pretty. So we installed the end caps then installed the iron balusters and they had new carpet installed up to the edge of the end caps and it looks like a new stair for a fraction of the cost of a new stair.  

So, if you're in need of a new rail, new stair, or just new wood or iron balusters and you don't know How To Replace Balusters With Iron Balusters and you live in Blue Bell, Ambler, Abington, Jenkintown, Lafayette Hill, Wyndmoor or surrounding towns, be sure to call Ron, your very own local stair and rail professional to schedule your FREE consultation: he can be reached at 215-694-5046 or email him at 45stairman@gmail.com.
