What we build

Stair railing and tread work for your existing staircase

We focus on the parts you touch and see every day, the railings, balusters, handrails, newel posts, treads, and risers, rebuilt and refinished on the staircase already in your home.

🧱

Handrail Replacement & Refinishing

New solid oak or maple handrails, or a strip and refinish of the rail you have, so the grip is smooth, continuous, and code compliant.

🛠

Iron Baluster Upgrades

Trade tired wood spindles for wrought iron balusters, from clean straight bars to scrolls and baskets, installed tight with no rattle.

🌿

Wood Baluster & Spindle Work

Turned or square wood balusters replaced or restored to match your railing profile and your home's existing millwork.

📌

Newel Post Replacement

Loose or dated newel posts rebuilt as solid box or turned posts that anchor the rail system and hold the whole run steady.

🪑

Tread & Riser Replacement

Worn, squeaky, or carpeted steps rebuilt with solid oak or maple treads and clean painted or stained risers, level and quiet underfoot.

🔧

Code & Safety Rail Corrections

Rail height, baluster spacing, and loose connections corrected so the staircase meets current safety code and feels solid to lean on.

How it works

From worn railing to finished stair

01

In-Home Staircase Design Consult

We measure the run, check rail height and baluster spacing, and talk through which railings, treads, or balusters you want changed.

02

3D Stair Renderings & Material Choices

You see the new rail profile before we start, and choose iron or wood balusters, handrail woods, tread species, and finishes together.

03

Built in our Arlington shop

Handrails, newel posts, and treads are milled and prepped by our own carpenters with real joinery, not big-box stair parts.

04

Clean, Precise Railing & Tread Install

We set posts plumb, space balusters to code, seat treads flush and quiet, and leave the staircase finished and clean.

Why Arlington homeowners choose us

One team, from first rail to final coat

A dated rail and a run of hollow spindles can make a good house feel dated. We rebuild the railings, balusters, and treads in place, matched to your existing millwork, so the staircase reads as an intentional feature rather than a builder afterthought.

Questions

Stair railings and treads, answered

Q. Can you replace just the railings and balusters without rebuilding the whole staircase?

Yes. That is the heart of what this service does. We upgrade handrails, balusters, newel posts, and treads on your existing staircase, so you get a fresh look and a solid rail without a full tear out.

Q. What does a railing and tread project cost?

Because every staircase and rail run is different, we quote each project after an in-home consultation. Your estimate reflects the handrail wood, iron or wood balusters, tread species, and finish you choose, with no surprises after.

Q. Can you swap wood spindles for wrought iron balusters?

Yes, this is one of our most requested upgrades. We remove the old wood spindles and install wrought iron balusters, from clean straight bars to scrolls and baskets, set tight so they never rattle.

Q. Will the new railings and treads match my existing woodwork?

We match the handrail profile, tread species, and finish to your existing millwork and floors, so the oak or maple reads as part of the home rather than a patched-in repair.

Q. Which areas do you serve?

Our shop is in Arlington and we upgrade staircases for homeowners across the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. Building a brand-new staircase or rebuilding one from the stringers up? See our stair contractor services.
