Changing appearance from "Tract Home" to "Custom"

Before

Balustrade/Before_-_looking_up_stairway.jpg

The original balustrade in this client's house was very basic.  Over the years, the paint had become soft from skin oils and had become dirty in appearance despite the owner's best efforts to clean it.  Fresh paint would not adhere to the original paint.  The base of the stairway was in the front entry way.  The appearance of the balustrade created a negative initial impression of the house to anyone entering.

After

After reviewing several options with the owner it was decided to completely replace the original balustrade with a new oak system.  The oak was given a clear Teak Oil finish to give the wood a warm sheen without obscuring the grain.

The original railing was 36 inches high with a 6 inch baluster spacing.  The height still met current code but the baluster spacing was too great.

On the new railing we increased the height to 42 inches.  The baluster spacing was reduced to meet the current building code.

Railing is removable to make moving furniture easier!
