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.

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.

Stair Manufacturer And Iron Baluster Installers In Medford NJ

Cherry Stained Hardwood Stairs
Hammered "S" Balusters

Handrail "Over The Post" Style

Complete Stair Replacement

Old Stairs Removed And New Stair Installed In Less Than Four Hours
If you're looking for the best Stair Manufacturer And Iron Baluster Installers in and around Medford NJ, then you're in the right place. I don't want to say this job was easy, but everything went so perfectly, it was amazing. I mean, the measurements always have to be spot on, but this house needed very little trimming or cutting of existing walls, or framing, or drywall. The stair has to be built exactly to site conditions to ensure it looking better than it did when house was brand-new, (which was not done properly, and is what we're here to fix). If you're looking to by-pass the builder/general contractor, and deal direct with the contractor doing the actual work, (and save 20%-50%), then give Ron a call on his personal cell phone at 215-694-5046 and ask him any questions you may have about your existing stair and handrail issues. If you are a general contractor, or home builder, we will work with you, if you work like us and treat homeowners like you would want to be treated, and always do the job right the first time, and have very high standards. We have a very small group of contractors/builders that we'll work with. Most are clowns, and are like the builder who built your house the first time, which is to say very badly, very crookedly, very cheaply, very shabbily, very shoddily....not sure if those are real words, lol. You can also email me photos of existing conditions to help speed up the consultation process ....at 45stairman@gmail.com. At Hartman Stairs and Rails, we believe we're the best Stair Manufacturer and Iron Baluster Installers in and around Medford NJ, and surrounding towns like Voorhees, Cherry Hill, Moorestown, Medford Lakes, and Haddonfield.

Better Than Cable Modern Rail Installers Mt Laurel NJ

Mt Laurel Townhouse With Modern Cable Look For Half The Price


Strong Iron Tubing With Modern Hardwood Handrail




Clean Modern Lines

Round Iron Tubing More Kid-Friendly Than Cable

Round Tubing Safer Than Cable

5/8" Round Iron Tubing More Stable Than Cable

Continuous Rail From Top To Bottom

Up The Stairs And Around The Wall

 A great example of today's modern look with old-world craftsmanship with "Better Than Cable", Modern Rail Installers in Mt Laurel NJ. Everybody wants to jump on the cable rail bandwagon. I always say the same thing...I'm not a big fan. But, there are alternatives to cable. Like this rail system shown here. Square posts (that are strong, and sturdy and will outlast most homes they're in), with hardwood rail, and the 5/8" round tubing that isn't so harsh on the kids (like cable) who will inevitably end up playing on, or around, the railing. You know they will, like you did when you were kids. And the tubing won't loosen up and have to get re-tightened every six months like cable. And the tubing is cheaper than the outrageous prices for cable components. This couple just had a little one and they were looking for something modern, safe, sturdy, and reasonably priced. This fit the bill perfectly. They couldn't be happier. It was nice to work with someone who appreciated all that we did. We ended up doing homeowners brother's house as well. I'll post pictures of that job in next week or so as well. So, if you need your modern rail fix, but don't want to break the bank, then cut the cable, and go with Better Than Cable Modern Rail Installers in Mt Laurel NJ, and surrounding towns like Voorhees, Medford, Shamong, Mt Laurel, Evesham, Moorestown, or Cherry Hill, then be sure to call Ron at 215-694-5046 and schedule your FREE consultation.

Staircase Contractor Iron Baluster Specialist Morrisville PA


Your Local Staircase Contractor and Iron Baluster Specialist in Morrisville PA. This was a very clean job. Some jobs are easier than others. This was one of those. Everything came apart fairly easily, and there wasn't much to fix underneath and no big surprises. The new capping went on easily and the newel posts and rail went just as planned. Once we installed the wood part, we left for a few days while homeowner stained the new rails himself and did a really good job. Actually better than some "professionals" I've seen over the years. (Not my guys just crews you observe over the years.) Then we came back and installed the iron balusters.

 The homeowners themselves were great to work with as well. I probably don't say that enough. But these folks were really easy to work with. Note to everybody in the world. Life seems to go better if you don't bring stress into every situation you encounter, or maybe create stress for other people unnecessarily. I got the feeling these folks had their act together and didn't stress about things needlessly.

Anyway, it turned out great and they couldn't be happier. So, if you're looking for a local Staircase Contractor and/or an Iron Baluster Specialist in and around Morrisville PA, then Ron is your guy and he can be reached at 215-694-5046, or email him at 45stairman@gmail.com to schedule your FREE consultation

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.
