Stairway Remodel

These are a few before and after pictures of a stairway renovation we just completed. The project consisted of modifying an old carpeted stairway with new solid oak treads, and installing a new oak balustrade system. We also opened up the last five stair treads and did away with the old painted boxed stair rake wall & rake rail. Opening up these first few stairs really gives the impression of a larger stairway and foyer.

The oak box newel post (4093), has been modified by adding four decorative panels in the center section. The balusters are 1 1/4" square (5060) and the rails are 6010 style.

These pictures were taken right after the renovation, before any painting and staining, etc.

If you would like to upgrade your stairway from carpet to oak or just replace the rail system, please give us a call anytime. We will give you a free in home consultation to go over your options on improving and updating your home. We offer free, no obligation, no pressure estimates. You can visit our website and peruse over 400 photos of some of our past projects we have completed over the last 25 years.
