The story
This renovation gave the existing staircase a completely new look without replacing the stair itself. We installed new red oak treads and replaced the entire railing system, selecting the materials and finish colors to coordinate with the homeowner's flooring, trim, and surrounding space.
For the railing, we used 1/2" square iron balusters in satin black, mixing plain balusters with knuckle styles to add some detail without making the pattern feel too busy.
One of the standout details was the custom squared starting step at the bottom of the staircase. We took dimensions from the existing stair on site, then built the new starting step from red oak in our Whitehall shop specifically for the opening. That allowed us to get the shape and proportions right for the existing staircase rather than trying to make a stock starting step work.
We also helped the homeowner select the materials and color direction so the finished staircase would coordinate with the rest of the room. We handled the stair and railing work; staining and painting were completed separately.
A complete stair and railing update, built around the home that was already there.
“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!”
