Railing work
Wood stair railing replacement
Oak, maple, poplar and walnut rails milled to classic or modern profiles and finished to match your floors.
What's included
Scope of work
- Wood, wrought iron, cable and glass railing systems
- Code-height guards and continuous graspable handrails
- Structural newel anchoring, not surface screws
- Shop-finished parts for a clean site install
Systems we install
Traditional turned wood, matte black iron, stainless cable, and frameless glass panels. Each system is laid out to current IRC guard height and baluster spacing rules so it passes inspection and feels solid under load.
Fastening done properly
Newel posts are anchored into blocking or the stringer, not toe-nailed into a tread. That single detail is the difference between a rail that lasts twenty years and one that loosens in a season.
Finish options
Stained hardwood, painted, powder-coated metal or oil-rubbed brass hardware. We can match an existing rail profile or move the whole staircase to a new look.
Questions
Common questions
Can you replace only the railing and keep the stairs?
Yes. Railing-only projects are common and usually take one to three days.
Will the new railing meet code?
Guards are built to current IRC height and 4-inch sphere spacing requirements, with permits pulled where the jurisdiction requires them.
