Railings & balusters: find your next step.
Discover clean iron balusters, timeless wood handrails, and the details that bring it together.
Plan with confidence
What to consider before you begin
Railings have both a visual and a safety role. Iron balusters can give a staircase an open, clean-lined appearance, while wood creates a traditional finish. Glass offers clear sightlines but requires more frequent cleaning. Guard height, opening sizes, handrail grip and secure attachment should be reviewed against applicable requirements.
- Consider handrail grip as well as appearance.
- Compare cleaning and maintenance needs.
- Have attachment points and opening sizes assessed.

A few helpful answers
Good questions. Clear answers.
How much does staircase remodeling cost?
Cost depends on the staircase size, its condition, material choices and whether structural changes are required. Share photos and your project goals to request an estimate tailored to your staircase.
Can carpeted stairs be converted to hardwood?
Often, but the construction beneath the carpet must be assessed first. Some stairs need new hardwood treads rather than simply removing carpet and refinishing what is underneath.
Should I refinish my stairs or replace them?
Refinishing may make sense for sound, adequately thick hardwood with surface wear. Damaged, unstable or unsuitable treads can require repair or replacement. An assessment helps determine the appropriate approach.
How long does a staircase renovation take?
Timing varies with the scope, materials, preparation and finish curing requirements. Ask for a project-specific schedule and discuss how you will safely access other floors during the work.
Can I keep my existing handrail?
Sometimes. Its condition, profile, attachment points and compatibility with new balusters need to be checked before deciding whether it can be retained.
