This clients new staircase is a combination of quality read oak and quality poplar wood. The original company they hired took a $3,000 deposit, removed all rails, balusters and posts and then they never heard from that contractor again. This left a dangerous situation, considering the family are seniors and suffered from a stroke. We re designed the staircase to fit their needs and open space. The balusters are a beautiful profile and are quality poplar. We do offer a video of this clients staircase. Gorgeous

This is the same staircase left and right. A new homeowner who loves his new home but wanted the gorgeous metal balusters instead of the typical builder grade small white balusters. Metal baluster installation is affordable and you will enjoy coming home everyday. Our metal balusters are glued, screwed, shimmed and strong. This client is now so happy with his new home and his new gorgeous entry foyer. Installing metal balusters does not require removing of the railing, only the balusters.

Unfortunately this staircase (left) was dangerous after a hundred years of use. We carefully removed the staircase and installed a new, yet similar to the time period, beautiful new staircase. The staircases mixture of gorgeous species, like american walnut, white oak and poplar. Extremely solid and strong new staircase. We have a video for your to watch of this staircase. We skinned the wall with solid wainscoting as the one hundred year old plaster was very frail. Combinations of species make a dramatic visual color burst affect!

This clients home built in the early 1900's was in really bad shape and quite dangerous (left). We carefully removed this staircase, preserving the existing walls. Installed a new red oak and poplar staircase. Pictures do not give this gorgeous staircase justice! The existing one hundred plus plaster was quite frial, so we applied a beautiful multi solid profile wainscoting. The home owners love their new staircase and are very happy how strong, solid and safe for their family. Working with plaster requires integrity and patience. Hidden electrical, plumbing etc are inside the old walls. We work efficiently and carefully to install the best staircase.

We Repair Staircases!
Sometimes only a repair is needed to remove squeaks, lose posts, rail and baluster replacement. This clients staircase (left) has an existing post that was loose and split grain. He was anxious, but we were able to wrap the lower portion of his post with solid oak and re install this post, until it was tight, solid and strong. we added a new railing and square balusters. We also removed the squeaks that were driving this homeowner crazy everyday. Wonderful to preserve. Sometimes homeowners actually think they lost their hearing when we're done with the strengthening. Imagine living thirty years with a squeak, only to hear it vanish in one day? It's great to be able to produce satisfaction. |
