Built for Easton
Railings that fits the homes here.
Easton's three housing chapters each want a different rail: period-correct for College Hill, an iron-picket rebuild over the sound structure for West Ward rowhouses, and a transitional white-oak-and-square-iron system for the Forks and Palmer Township outer-ring builds. The Rambo's continuous handrail run is our reference for the grander College Hill foyers.
Railings — full service detailWhat we do here
Railings for Easton homes — what's involved.
Period-right for College Hill
Turned or matched balusters and a refinished handrail profile that respect a Federal or Victorian foyer's character.
Transitional for new builds
White-oak treads, square iron, shaker or square-cap newels for Forks / Palmer outer-ring homes — our Center Valley Curve and Whitehall Colonial templates.
Built in Whitehall, one install
The whole system is built and fit in Whitehall and set in one coordinated visit, even 18 miles out in Easton.

Questions about railings in Easton.
How much does a new stair railing cost in Easton?
A full wood-and-iron railing system in Easton starts around $2,500 and goes up from there. A straight West Ward rowhouse rebuild sits near that starting point; a College Hill foyer with a balcony run and a turned newel costs more. That's a starting point to set expectations, not a quote — we confirm firm after a site measure.
Can a West Ward rowhouse fit a full railing-and-iron rebuild?
Yes — the narrower footprint works in our favor. We pull the original turned wood spindles, drill iron pickets on the same spaces, and rebuild the handrail and newel, all without disturbing the structural stair below. We can match a darker walnut handrail to your floors.
What railing style fits an Easton outer-ring new build?
A transitional package: white-oak treads, painted risers, square iron balusters, and a shaker or square-cap newel — aligned with our Center Valley Curve and Whitehall Colonial templates, which suit Forks and Palmer Township new construction.
Do you travel to Easton for railing work?
Yes. Easton is about 18 miles east of our Whitehall shop, straight down Route 22.
How long does a railing installation take for an Easton home?
About four to six weeks of shop fabrication after design sign-off, then a coordinated install visit. Everything is fit in Whitehall, so on-site time stays short even at distance.
