Install Wood Handrail Repair Wood Stair in Haddonfield NJ. Well, I must say, this stairway remodel job was a little unusual. The lady of the house informed she had already found the old newel posts she wanted installed, in a vintage woodworking warehouse somewhere in Philadelphia, (I didn't ask where, hush, hush.) She then told me she wanted the octagon balusters and newel posts with the oversized rail on top, that she selected from my favorite suppliers' catalog, to somewhat match the old rail and balusters she wanted installed on her back stair. Her and her lovely family decided, okay SHE decided, to renovate an old Victorian house off main street in Haddonfield, and the old school rails and posts would help keep the Victorian theme going. (Did I mention she works at the school??, no, not the old school, oh never mind... but I digress.) Working with the oversized, (HUGE), heavy, eight sided, walnut post was a bit of a challenge, but we managed to pull it off, much to the delight of said lady. She said she couldn't find anyone who would do the job for her. More than a few stair and rail  contractors stopped by and never came back. She was getting desperate, you could hear it in her voice. How could I say no? So, a few weeks later, her material was delivered and we proceeded with the installation. The upper turning on the balusters adds a nice touch as they stay in perfect line with the rail just above. She wasn't quite done with staining and painting at time of photos, but I had to share these with you. I'll update once everything is painted and stained.  If you're looking for a Handrail Installer to Repair your Wood Stair, or to replace, or Install Wood Handrail in your Haddonfield, Collingswood, or Haddon Heights home for you, don't hesitate to call/text Ron Hartman, your local specialist with 25 years experience with ALL KINDS of stair/rail situations, at 215-694-5046, or email him at 45stairman@gmail.com

 Repair Wood Stairs Philadelphia PA. This was a fun stairway remodel project. We removed the main stair and went on to install a brand new staircase in it's place. The 2nd floor stair, and the 3rd floor stair were in decent shape, for the most part. We had to repair the 3rd floor stair about a third of the way up. The treads and risers needed to be replaced, so that they matched the rise and run measurement of the rest of the stairway. This was for an architect living on Pine St in downtown Philadelphia. Only an architect would come up with the idea for the glass panels in the floors. I really like the look. It takes a little getting used to, as you're walking around, because you're just not accustomed to seeing it everyday, and, it's a long way down from the 4th floor.

 She was great to work with. She knew exactly what she wanted, and it was my job to make it happen. I guess that's the way it's supposed to be. She wanted a clean, minimalist look. Round oak rail, round oak newel posts, and round, painted balusters. In the den, she wanted the glass panels with the round rail sitting right on top, overlooking the kitchen below, to keep the open, glass, modern look going throughout.  I think she did a good job. She hired the right stair and rail contractor I know that.

Wood Staircase Handrail Baluster Installer In Northeast Philadelphia

Wood Staircase Handrail Baluster Installer In Northeast Philadelphia. This is in a home near Holmes Circle in Northeast Philadelphia. The old staircase was dangerous. The treads were too small, and they were very loose, and starting to come apart, the rail was loose, and rickety, and the balusters were loose and falling out, I'm sure you get the picture. So we gutted the old stair and rail and replaced it with this brand new, solid, durable, beautiful, stained, oak hardwood stair and rail. This leads down to their basement they set up as the kids' playroom. The house did not allow for carrying a whole new staircase through the house and down the stairs, so we had to bring all the materials down to the basement, and build the new set of steps right there, rip out the old stair, then slide the new staircase in place. It fit like a glove, if I do say so myself. Now the homeowners don't worry about their young boys falling off the side of the stair, while heading downstairs to play. If you're living with any of these unsafe conditions, anywhere in the Northeast section of Philadelphia, like Somerton, Fox Chase, Bustleton, etc, or in neighboring towns like Rockledge, Elkins Park, Jenkintown, or Huntingdon Valley, don't hesitate to give me a call to set up your FREE consultation.

Iron Balusters near Main Line Philadelphia

  

    Some New Iron Balusters near the Main Line in Philadelphia. This customer loved the look of the oak box newels with the oak handrail and the single diamond/double diamond square hammered iron balusters in oil rubbed bronze finish. She'd been looking for an iron baluster installer for a long time, and couldn't find anyone who could do the work. Luckily she kept looking, and found me. I'm Ron Hartman, and I've been a stair and rail contractor for 25 years. I transformed her foyer to her specifications. She absolutely loved it, and couldn't stop raving about it. I must say, that is nice to hear, when customers can't stop thanking you enough for a job well done. After removing the builder-grade junk rail, I installed the bottom oak plate, the posts, and then the rail. I left for a few days while the hardwood was stained and poly-urethaned, then came back and installed and secured the iron. The new carpet was scheduled to be installed in the next week, or so.
   
 If you're desiring some Iron Balusters for your Main Line home near Philadelphia, and you live in Ardmore, Gladwynne, Havertown, Haverford, Wynnewood, Bryn Mawr, Merion, or surrounding towns, don't hesitate to give me (Ron) a call, text, or email to set up your FREE appointment.

New Stair and Handrail Washington Twp NJ

These folks were real happy with their New Stair and Handrail in Washington Township NJ. This job was a very pleasant experience from beginning to end. This couple was so nice, and considerate. A real pleasure to work for. They got my number from an old school buddy, Doug Houston, who did all the interior trim you see. Crown molding, raised panels, chair rail, new door trim, and bigger base throughout. As you can see from the photos, that's why we used to call him "The Man." He's a great trim carpenter and an excellent craftsman.

Painted box newels with mahogany post caps, and painted square balusters, and mahogany handrail really makes a big difference when walking into their foyer now. With all the trim details around it, the stair is the focal point it should be instead of the eyesore it used to be. If you're tire of that eyesore in your entranceway, and want to re-do your stairway the way the builder should have done it the first time, then give me a call, text, or email to set up your FREE appointment with Ron. If you need someone to install your New Stair and Handrail for you in New Jersey, I'd be glad to meet with you, whether you're living in Washington Twp, Sewell, Glassboro, Harrison Twp, Woolwich, Gloucester, Deptford, Turnersville, or Voorhees.

Iron Balusters Huntingdon Valley PA

          Here's a nice example of what's possible with Iron Balusters in Huntingdon Valley PA. This customer had just bought this nice house but wanted to "freshen up the place a bit" before she moved in. The builder grade wood balusters "had to go." She wanted to add some elegance to her new house, (not to mention the great added value when selling the property), without breaking the bank. And swapping out the old wood balusters for new iron pieces is a great way to do that. The existing posts and handrail were in good shape and installed well originally, and she liked them, so we kept them in place. We went over several design choices that were possible, given the spaces she was working with, and we, okay, she, came up with this. It's a nice look, not too busy, not too austere, and gives you a nice visual throughout the foyer/hallway area of the house. She went with satin black, which is a good universal color, for most people, especially if you don't know for sure how long you're going to be living in a particular house. Oil rubbed bronze, oil rubbed copper, continue to be very popular color choices as well.

       So, if you're tired of your old, wooden balusters, that may be loose, or chipped, or broken, or just not the look you want for your home anymore, give me a call, text, or email. If you live in Huntingdon Valley, or any of the surrounding towns, like Rockledge, or Southampton, or Willow Grove, Dresher, Horsham, Glenside, Abington, Feasterville, or Richboro, I'd love to install your new Iron Balusters for you and give your home that touch of elegance you've been looking for.
