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.

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.

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. So be sure to give Ron a call at 215-694-5046 to schedule your FREE consultation, so we can help you transform your shore house foyer to make a lasting impression to your friends and family for years to come.

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.

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.

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.
