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.

New Hardwood Stairs and Handrails with Wood Balusters In Cherry Hill NJ











 All New Hardwood Stairs and Handrails with Traditional Wood Balusters in Cherry Hill NJ. This was a project the homeowner had wanted to do since the day she moved in......20 YEARS ago. So she had a file that she'd been collecting for 20 YEARS. I've had some customers who had decent sized folders for research on design ideas, colors, post and baluster styles, etc, but nobody came close to her file size. It was fantastic. I've never met a homeowner who knew more about stairs and rails than her....in 30 years of doing this. She knew every part of that stairwell....stringers, returns, risers, nosings, volutes, and on and on. I don't expect anyone to know anything about my profession. Because so few actually do. So when you run into anyone, let alone a customer who knows the lingo, it's almost shocking. But she was great. She knew what she wanted, communicated that to us and basically gave us the house to let us do our thing. She could not be more happy. Her mother or mother-in-law was staying with them for a few days and made us some banana bread which was fantastic. That's a pretty rare treat, old school baking as a bonus.

 That being said, just because you may not know anything about stair and rail terminology, don't let that stop you from calling. You don't have to have a dozen folders of research on stairs and rails. When you take your car to the dealer, you don't have to know everything the mechanic knows. And you don't have to wait 20 YEARS. I'm available this year. Now is the time. Cape Diem! and you know the rest.

 Take advantage of our 30 years of experience doing this every day. Your stair and handrail issues can be taken care of  in a very short time. This isn't a 6 month long project. It's usually a 6 days long project. give or take a few days. 

 So, whether you're in Bucks, Montgomery, Burlington, or Camden counties,and live in towns like
 Moorestown, Haddonfield, Marlton, Mt Laurel, Medford, etc, be sure to give Ron a call at 215-694-5046 and schedule your FREE CONSULTATION and you can have your very own New Hardwood Stairs and Handrails with Wood Balusters like the job we we did here in Cherry Hill NJ.

Wood Handrail With Custom Tuscany Iron Baluster Supplier Installer Cherry Hill NJ

Twin Tuscany Panels

Totally New Foyer

Refinished Stair and New Handrail

Black Iron Panels

Overlooking Family Room

Satin Black Iron Panels

Tuscany Panels

Single Panel

If you're looking for a solution to your dated foyer, you may want to switch to  a Wood Handrail with some Custom Iron Panels And Balusters like we did here in Cherry Hill NJ.  A fellow contractor who does all kinds of flooring called me and said "I need some real handrails for my new house!......what can you do for me?" So I said " You won't believe this but I need some new flooring for my old house". So after a little.....ok a lot of haggling, he decided on this design, and I got all new floors throughout my house. Sometimes it's good to know other good contractors. Note the special design on the landing. Anyway, we've done lots of work for each other over the years, and it was funny that we both needed each others' expertise at about the same time. Up top we did two panels facing each other with a bar welded in the middle. There are multiple ways of working panels into your overall design. On the steps we did single panels every third tread or so. Iron panels are great, but just so you know, they tend to cost @ 10 times the price of a "normal" iron baluster which tends to be @ $8-$20 range.  These stairs were refinished and all new floors were installed throughout the house. As well as new moldings, raised panels, and beams in family room. So, if you're in Cherry Hill NJ or surrounding towns, and you're looking for some Custom Iron Panels and Balusters with your Wood Handrail, then give Ron a call at  his direct line 215-694-5046 or send an email to 45stairman@gmail.com and set up your FREE CONSULTATION to discuss your options and your desired style and timelines.

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.

New Hardwood Stair
  A young couple just moved into their new house and decided they hated the big box builder junk stairs and rails with carpet so they called the premier Local Stair Remodeling Professionals at Hartman Stairs and Rails to come and replace the old and ugly carpeted stair with an all-new Hardwood Stair and Rail with Iron Balusters in Moorestown NJ. This was a fairly straight-forward renovation. Everything went pretty much as planned. The old stairs came out relatively easily, and the new stair was in by @ 2-3 PM the same day. Then we started installing the upper posts and rail. If we start a job of this size on Monday, we're usually done 90% by Thursday. Don't call the GC, he doesn't know what he's doing, and he's just going to call me anyway, and then try to get 20-25% of the job from you just for making a phone call to me. Call us direct and save some money. If you're tired of looking at carpet on your stairs and lame $2 painted balusters, give Ron  a call at 215-694-5046 and set up your appointment for a FREE consultation with your premier Local Stair Remodeling Experts at Hartman Stairs and Rails and they can go over details and show you how you too can enjoy your very own New Hardwood Stairs and Rails with Iron Balusters in Moorestown, Mt Laurel, Medford, Voorhees, Evesham and other surrounding towns in southern NJ.

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
