Match the original profile
We source or have made replacement newels and balusters turned to match your Macungie farmhouse's original profile — from a sample or a returned-profile measure.

Stair restoration matches worn or damaged period parts — newels, balusters, treads — rather than replacing the staircase. For Macungie's 1800s Pennsylvania-German farmhouses we source replacement newels and balusters turned to match the home's original profiles, or have them made, and finish them to the existing stain tone. A profile-matched restoration runs about 4–5 weeks; a single newel $1,200–$2,500.

Faucett period restoration — turned balusters and an over-the-post oak rail built to the home's era. The same period-sympathetic matching and finishing we bring to Macungie's Pennsylvania-German farmhouse restorations.
