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. 

Contemporary Stairs And Rails With Iron Balusters In Margate NJ

 If you're looking to update your shore house in Margate NJ with more Contemporary Stairs and Rails with some Iron Balusters, give us a call. We've been doing just that for more than 30 years. And here's an example we completed just in last 2 weeks. We arrived @ 9AM monday morning and started by removing the old stairs and rails. Then we installed the new stairs and were done by @ 2PM. We returned the next day and started rail install. By Wednesday rails and balusters were installed and ready for stain and paint. The painter came in soon after and worked his magic, and then we came back and installed the iron permanently and we were done. All told it took about 6 work days to complete. We always make sure you're never without a staircase at the end of the day. The longest period without access to upstairs would be @ 8 hours, and that's very rare. We're usually done installing the new stair by noon, and then we start with the rail install. These folks were from California and couldn't have been nicer to work with. Cali folks are almost always very laid back and chill lol. They went with this oval and straight Iron bar Baluster alternating with all square Contemporary posts to complete the look to bring their Stairs and Rails up to date to match the rest of their house in Margate 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     

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.

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.
