The story
The Center Valley homeowners had a 1990s wood-baluster stair that was structurally fine but visually dated. They wanted iron without ripping out the framing.
We pulled the original wood balusters and replaced them with three alternating oil-rubbed-bronze iron patterns from our metal catalog, then refinished the existing red-oak treads with a darker stain to ground the new ironwork. The handrail and newels were sound — we sanded and re-stained them on site.
The iron-baluster swap is the highest-impact, lowest-disruption upgrade we offer. This was textbook.
“Jesse and his team were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. The craftsmanship of the project was top notch and we're very happy with how our stairs turned out!”
