Hardwood Stair Replacement With Box Newels And Iron Balusters Medford NJ

Hardwood Stair Replacement With Box Newels And Iron Balusters Medford NJ. This was for a fellow contractor homeowner who remodeled his whole house and only needed to complete the foyer. I must say he did a great job with the rest of the house. (Not all homeowner remodels look this nice) He said the one project he wouldn't touch was the stairs and rails. So, he found my blog and loved what he saw and decided to give me a call. We scheduled the project to start a few weeks from then, because he being a contractor, he was going to remove the existing stair himself.  On day one we were able to show up with new stair and start immediately by getting the stair set in place. The new stairs were installed and secured before noon, and we started the rail install.  It took @ 2-3 days for newel posts and rail to be installed. He had the painter come in and stain everything to match the floors that were going in the foyer. We then came back and installed the iron balusters to complete the job.  If you'd like to update your house and bring it into this century, and you live in Medford, Southampton, Voorhees, Marlton, Mt Laurel, Cherry Hill, Moorestown, or surrounding area, give Ron a call at 215-694-5046, or email him at 45stairman@gmail.com and schedule your FREE consultation for your very own Hardwood Stair Replacement With Box Newels And Iron Balusters Medford NJ.

This customer wanted a New Circular Handrail for their newly purchased home in Cherry Hill NJ. The existing rail was badly damaged and looked like a dog may have chewed on it in addition to it being very loose. The original smaller balusters and posts contributed to the decline of the rigidity of the rail over time. The rail heights were too low and the spaces between balusters were too wide by today's code standards. Rake must be 34" high, level rails must be 36", and you cannot have a space bigger than 4" anywhere in the balustrade system. Given all these factors the homeowner decided to replace the rail, post, and balusters in addition to repairing and reinforcing the stair from underneath. Because it's an existing circular stair, we had to template the stair to be able to manufacture the rail and have it match the stair radius exactly. Ironically, I have a good working relationship with the stair company that built the original stair and they were able to match the rail to the stair perfectly. We took out the old and installed the new posts and rail, followed by the re-finisher who sanded down the treads and re-stained them as well as the rail and posts. Once he was done, I came back in and installed the balusters, and we were done. Start to finish, my work took about 4 days.

New Oak Handrail In Moorestown NJ

New Oak Handrail in Moorestown NJ. We left the oversized starting step and the stair treads intact.
Homeowner wanted a safer and more user-friendly, (and beautiful) handrail than the one that was original to the house, which was in bad shape. We left the posts also, but extended them to raise the rail 3-4 inches to bring it up to the required 34" from edge of stair nosing. We then installed the new rail "over-the-post" style. All new balusters freshly painted and secured, with a darker stain on the new rail gives a nice contrast to the lighter colored stair treads.

Whatever your Stair or Rail needs, feel free to give me a call to schedule your in-home consultation. I've been restoring stairs and rails back to their original glory for over 20 years all over the Delaware Valley.
