Remodel Staircase With Painted Box Newels Hardwood Treads And Handrail And Iron Balusters In Mullica Hill NJ




A recent project involved Remodeling a Staircase for a young couple in Mullica Hill, NJ. The couple wanted Painted Box Newels, Hardwood Treads, Handrails, and Iron Balusters. The project took about a week to complete, as we had to replace everything that touched the stairs - including the nosing, posts, handrail, and balusters. Safety was a top priority, especially with a little one running around. We worked around other ongoing projects in the house, and the couple was kind enough to trust us to do our job without any distractions.


Although I didn't take many before pictures, the results were impressive. The staircase looked brand new and added a touch of elegance to the home. While most of my customers trust me to do my job, it was refreshing to work with a couple who never questioned our methods. 


One of the challenges was cutting off the rounded bullnose starting step on both sides at the bottom of the stair. That's why there's an unfinished part of the floor beside the post at the bottom. The painter hadn't come back to touch up that part yet. They wanted to keep everything a little more modern and square, and the round bullnose had to go. 


So, If you're in need of a Staircase that needs a Remodel, you can't go wrong with the Painted Box Newels and Hardwood Handrails with Iron Balusters pictured here, and it doesn't matter if you're in Mullica Hill, or Swedesboro, or Sewell, or Glassboro or any surrounding towns, be sure to give Ron Hartman Woodwork a call at 215-694-5046 to get your FREE consultation.

Traditional Oak Stair With Painted Box Newels and Square Balusters Moorestown NJ





 This Traditional Oak Stair With Painted Box Newels And Square Balusters In Moorestown NJ really makes all the difference when you walk into this warm and cozy home. I can't even remember what the rail looked like that we ripped out. I just know it was old and ugly. 

This took about 3 days to complete. Super nice people. Super accommodating. 

I do like the stained trim on the post. That's not standard so when ordering those it usually takes a little longer, but I think it's worth the wait.

It seems everyone is going with the square balusters these days. And I must admit, they do look good.

For this stair, we left the side stringers in place, because they were in really good shape. And we disassembled the old treads and risers and replaced with new. The house was built fairly well, so it made for an easier job for us. When you have to deal with really shoddy original work, that tends to make our work not so fun sometimes.

So, if you're in Mt Laurel, Marlton, Medford, Voorhees, Haddonfield or surrounding towns, and you're wanting to update your old foyer, be sure to give Ron a call at 215-694-5046 or email him at 45stairman@gmail.com for your FREE consultation and you can pick out your own Traditional Oak Stair With Painted Box Newels and Square Balusters like the one here in Moorestown NJ.

Modern White Oak Rail With Box Newels And Square Balusters Ocean City NJ






Here's a great example of a Modern White Oak Hand Rails with Box Newels and Square Balusters in Ocean City NJ. I met these homeowners and they wanted a clean, square, white, shore house look for their staircase. 

It takes a lot to build a new house. It takes time, patience, perseverance, focus, toughness, people skills, communication skills, and of course, money always helps. That list of what it takes could go on and on but you get the idea. When building a house decisions need to be made....often. It's best to make them thoughtfully, but relatively quickly, to keep the project moving forward. I've seen it done a million different ways in 40 years, and it's always nice to see it done well. This couple did a good job responding to questions and meeting challenges directly and deciding quickly which way to go once they heard what the options were.

 I think the end result turned out really well. And now they and their family get to enjoy all our hard work for the next 40-50 years. the square box newels are really popular right now, as are the square balusters. White oak is also getting more and more popular in general, but for floors and stairs in particular.

 Handrails are used every day by everyone living in a particular house. So, they must be up for the challenge of children holding onto them, and teenagers swinging on them, and old folks really leaning, and pulling on them, for 40-50 years, and staying rigid and safe for all that time.

 I just did another job for a customer who runs an inner city gym for at risk youth, and he said he couldn't believe the sturdiness of the stairs and rails we installed 18 years ago, given that they were used every day by dozens of teens just about every day. 

So, if you want it done right the first time, give me a call at 215-694-5046 and schedule your FREE consultation and you can get your very own White Oak Hand Rails with Box Newels and Square Balusters in Ocean City NJ.....or you can choose any style you like and we'll come install it in whatever surrounding shore town you may live in.

Remodel Handrails Box Newels With Iron Balusters Voorhees NJ






 Here's a recent Remodeled Handrail with Box Newels and contemporary handrail with Iron Balusters in Voorhees NJ. I should have taken before pictures because I can't even remember what style this customer had before we started, but I know it was ugly lol. This is the original staircase. Not every job do we replace the stair. Sometimes the original is in decent shape and just needs a refinishing, which is what we did here. Another really nice couple who let us do our job and would go out for most of the day while we did our thing. And she would leave the front door open so we could get there when we get there, because she understands how traffic goes in the Delaware Valley. It's always nice when customers understand reality, and yet don't act like your typical reality TV stars, lol. We love helping folks transform their homes into the home they've always wanted. I'm certainly no fan of the pandemic, but it definitely made my contracting life a lot easier. Folks finally allowed me to give prices from pictures that they sent via phone or email. And now everyone has no problem with it. I often still have to go in person to take real measurements, especially if we're doing anything with the stair itself, but many jobs, I show up with material and start the job, and I've never been in the house before. And, I only go to the house once the customer has already decided they want me to do the job. The price rarely changes, and if it does, it often goes down, not up. 

 So if you're in the market for a Remodeled Handrail with Box Newels and Iron Balusters, and you live in Voorhees NJ or surrounding towns, be sure to give Ron a call at 215-694-5046 for your FREE consultation.

Oversized Starting Newel Dark Stained Treads and Handrails Painted Balusters In Haddonfield NJ

Classic White Balusters And Trim

White Box Newels

Stained Treads And Handrails

Oak Stairs And Handrails

Oversized Starting Newel

 Here's another example of classic style, with your Oversized Starting Newel with Dark Stained Treads and Handrails and Painted Balusters in Historic Haddonfield NJ. 
 This was another designer/builder who saw a picture and asked to have it brought to life. We've done a lot of work in this town over the years. Definitely one of my favorites. The small town feel is everywhere. people are nice, the properties are nice, they tell me the schools are nice, the stairs are really nice, ok, ok, I'm a little biased. But seriously, it is a classic "Small Town America" town. Access to the big city less than a half hour away.
 To get this level of quality construction, you need a great team. You need a great architect, and a great builder, who brings in his best subcontractors which would include your foundation/concrete guy, framer, roofer/sider, hvac, plumbing, insulation, drywall, paint, flooring, trim, stairs and rails, kitchen, tile, electrical, audio/security, landscaping, and paving guys, to name most of the contractors needed to build your high-quality home. And a designer can really help you bring all of it together so the whole house looks "connected" for lack of a better term. So it all flows. 
  If you need help with any part of finding your "team" we can help you with that. Our specialty is Stairs and Rails, and in the course of 30 years in the business, we've met many of the best subcontractors in the business and would gladly give you our recommendations for whatever trade you would need if it was a small enough project that you didn't need a builder or GC for.
  But if you're in need of your own Oversized Starting Newel, and you want Dark Stained Treads and Handrails with Painted Balusters and you live in Haddonfield NJ, or surrounding towns like Moorestown, Haddon Heights, Cherry Hill, Marlton, or Medford, then give Ron  a call at his cell at 215-694-5046, or shoot him an email at 45stairman@gmail.com and set up your FREE consultation and estimate and get all your questions answered.

A fun time was had by all as we worked on this Custom Flared Stairs and Rails and Iron Balusters in Mullica Hill NJ. A wonderful family. They have 4 or 5 great kids who, I think may have enjoyed the construction process more than the adults. I must say, it is very satisfying bringing customers ideas and dreams to life. And to hear their excitement and praise for a job well done makes it all worthwhile. Painted box newels, and oak handrail and an elegant iron baluster design help to make this house a home. A home that parents can feel safe for their 4 or 5 kids to run around in. This was new construction, obviously, and the painters weren't quite done as of date of photos. We do many different types of rails and stairs, and many different sizes of jobs. Some take one day, some take a week or two, or three. But no matter the size or style, or budget, we give you the same quality of work no matter what. We're not the slap-up crew the typical builder hires to "slap-up" the rails as fast as they can so they can run to the next house and do it again. We do it right, the first time, every time. So, if you want your house to be updated, upgraded, and brought into the modern age, and want your home to look like a million bucks without breaking the bank, give Ron  a call at 215-694-5046 and schedule your FREE stair design consultation, and we can talk about providing you with your very own Custom Flared Stairs and Rails and Iron Balusters in Mullica Hill NJ, or whatever style stairs, rails, or balusters you want in surrounding communities like Swedesboro, Washington Twp, Sewell, or Glassboro

New Stairs and Handrail Margate-Longport

Here is a brand-new instant classic, new Stairs and Handrail in Margate-Longport. The customer here wanted over-sized, raised-panel, oak, Box Newel Posts installed on her new oak Staircase. She wanted something that would stand the test of time, and kids, and relatives, and friends, and neighbors, and in-laws, and pets, and teenagers, and parties, and holidays, and whoever else would be using her Stairway for the next 30 years. The over-sized posts are always a good choice if you're looking for extra sturdy handrail. The Charleston-style Handrail goes well with the Posts, and the Carolina-style Balusters go well with the Handrail. (Of course, that's just one mans' opinion)
The Handrail is 2 3/8" high, and 2 5/8" wide.
The Balusters are 1 3/4" wide at base, with a 3/4" top
The Newel Posts are 6 1/4" wide at the base, and 4 3/4" wide at the top
All these styles and more can be found at www.carolinastair.com ...my main supplier for last 10 years

Call 215-694-5046 to schedule an appointment with Ron the Rail-Guy. I'll walk you through all your options, ask you some questions, you ask me some questions, then, I'll prepare a proposal, email it to you, (usually next day), you say ok, when do we start, and we go from there. I'm based in the FoxChase area of Philadelphia, but I service from Princeton, to the MainLine, and from Doylestown to the Jersey Shore, and every town in between.

Most jobs can be started within 2-5 weeks, depending largely upon whether you want something that's in stock, or if you want something that's a little more custom. Lead time is also effected by time of year, obviously. Oct-Dec tends to be my busiest time, because many folks want to spruce up their houses for the inevitable holiday parties. Jan-Mar is historically slow, so you tend to get quicker service, just because there are less jobs on the schedule. 

This is a brand-new home, obviously, but I also replace many old, tired, ugly, creaky, Stairs and Handrails, and make them better than new.
Call/Text 215-694-5046, or email me at ronstairs@verizon.net to schedule your appointment today, and enjoy your new Stair and Handrail, very soon.
