Modern Farmhouse Maple Stairs and Rails with Iron Balusters Moorestown NJ

                                         







This Modern Farmhouse Maple Stairs and Rails with Iron Balusters in Moorestown, NJ, turned out beautifully. I wish I could have taken some pictures after everything was tidied up, but here they are, despite the chaos! Nothing was where it was supposed to be since there was work happening in multiple areas of the house at the same time. And clients moved out and moved back in, more than once, during the renovation. However, the team was great to work with—very laid-back and easygoing.

This project involved a lot of work! The stairs were in real bad shape. As per usual, the previous contractor from 20 years prior, didn't do anything correctly, to say the least, so we had to reinforce and partially rebuild all the old stairs, which took a few days. then we installed the new maple treads and painted risers. After that, we moved on to the posts and rails, taking another week or so to complete. Once the painter/stainer finished everything to match the floors, we returned to install the iron balusters, which took an additional day or two. The work extended from the basement up to the third floor.

Here are some specifics about the job: the newel posts are from the 4003 series, measuring 3 1/2" square, and we needed 20 of them. The handrail is from the 6800 series, with dimensions of 2 3/8" high and 2 5/8" wide....@ 130'. The iron balusters are satin black, measuring 1/2" wide. The styles of the iron balusters used were 16.1.34 (with 1 knuckle), 16.2.1 (straight bar), and 16.1.35 (with 2 knuckles), which we alternated throughout the installation. (280 total).

We work all over the Delaware Valley, in towns like Voorhees, Cherry Hill, Marlton, Mt Laurel, Medford, Haddonfield, Ocean City, Margate, Wildwood, and everywhere in between.

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.

Wood Stair And Rail Installers Mullica Hill NJ

 

                                  Mahogany Posts And Handrail with Painted Wood Balusters

 

                                 Stair Replacement With Mahogany Treads And Painted Risers


 

I don't want to say this was an "easy" Wood Stair And Rail job by professional Installers in Mullica Hill NJ, but this is as close as it gets to "easy" in the stair and rail replacement world. These homeowners went on vacation and we scheduled the stair install for that week. They were super nice people and accommodating in every way. Stairs were out and new one was installed by @ noon. We then started rail install and finished it next day. We always leave the balusters out till painter is done staining and painting everything, then we come back and do the baluster install and we're done. When replacing anything, but especially stairs, it always comes down to precise measurements. If you get the measurements right, it makes the job "easier". And after 30 years of doing this, I'm always looking for ways to make my life (and the customers' life, obviously) a little easier. They went with mahogany treads and rail and posts and painted risers and stringers. I love mahogany for the look and the finish, and it's easy to work with. Some say we're easy to work with. If you need a new Wood Stair or Rail, and you're looking for some professional Installers in Mullica Hill or surrounding towns to do it the "easy" way... then give us a call at 215-694-5046 to schedule 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.

These were some of the easiest people to work with. Super nice. They knew what they wanted and let us do our thing to make it happen. I love it when the homeowner asks, can we do that? You can do that? And you say absolutely! We've done this a thousand times! And that's not too far fetched. We've done @ 50-100 projects a year for 30 years. Every layout, every baluster, every post, every rail, every type of wood species, you've ever seen, in just about every town in the Delaware Valley, in just about every development...we've created a stair and or rail at least once. This took about a week. Old stair out....@2-3 hours... New stair in..@ 2-3 hours. New rails in...@ 3-4 days. Then they needed new floors, stain, paint, trim, etc. Then we came back and installed the iron balusters in @ 4-5 hours.

So if your stair or rail isn't all it could be, or all you want it to be, forget the home advisors that "verify" all of their contractors...by checking their phone number and ensuring their credit card payment went through.They're about as verified for highly skilled work as your typical fast food employee.

Custom Stairs And Rails Iron Balusters Installers Evesham NJ

Circular Stair with Iron Panels
Brand New Foyer

Tuscan Panels



Overlook

Radius Level Rail

Old World Elegance

Brand New Look

Add caption





Here's a great example of Custom Stairs and Rails and Iron Panels and Balusters designed to show the true beauty of the circular staircase, installed by professional Installers in Evesham NJ. With 30 years of experience in the field, we can tackle your most challenging jobs. If you can dream it, we can create it.

The homeowner here had replaced all her trim with stained hickory years earlier, and wanted the stairs and rails to match. She searched online and found me, (she typed in something like "best stair guy on the planet" or something like that lol)...we met with her and her husband, and showed her some options, and this is what she decided on. She saw a job we had done earlier, and said "that's it, that's what I want!" I love when a customer is certain about what they want. It makes my job much easier. Some folks want me to make the decision for them, and I will, but, it just takes the pressure off me if they are decisive, and have done some homework prior to meeting with me.

Note: If you're not as decisive, that's ok, we'll help you narrow down the options to what best suits your foyer, personal taste, style and budget.

To me the more educated the consumer is about stairs and rails, the better....

That is not to say, you must research for years before calling me, I'm just saying, it's better if you did at least 1 or 2 searches on Google images, or Pinterest, or someplace like that, before our appointment to get acquainted with what some of the possibilities are for your foyer/staircase.

By the way these are Tuscan Iron Panels in satin black with straight bars in between. This job took about a week to complete. And this particular job came in at under $20K. A bargain for the quality of materials, amount of work and expertise involved. (When house was built, the builder would have charged $35K for the same thing but with half the quality.)

And I think you get a lot of bang for the buck. I always say, "You're making your foyer look like a million bucks for less than $20K!!"

 So, if you're anywhere near Evesham NJ and surrounding towns, and you want your very own Custom Stairs and Rails and Iron Panels and Iron Balusters professionally designed and installed by artisan Installers, then be sure to send Ron an email at 45stairman@gmail.com or call him direct at 215-694-5046 to book your FREE CONSULTATION.
