Marlon and his team do grade A work! The stain was perfect, the lines/cuts were perfect. Our new stair railing looks amazing, so clean! Fast, professional and fairly priced.

Jamie Allen, Customer review
  • “Marlon was excellent in his service and communication. His work in replacing our handrails, balusters and newel post was well done. All the wood was replaced and stained in 3 days. The bid was fair and lower than the 2 other bids we received. We feel like we paid a craftsman rather than a company. I can't convey how lucky we feel to have made this connection.”

    Richard Chapman, Google review
  • “Marlon and his team did a fantastic job on our stairs! He built a custom gate for us as well. Highly recommend!”

Wood to iron, Dallas and Carrollton

One staircase, start to finish

Most remodels climb the same way Richard Chapman's did: handrails, balusters and newel post replaced, and the wood stained, in three days.

Strip and protect

Old spindles out, floors covered

Floors are covered before a spindle comes out, and the site is cleaned up at the end of every day. Lisa Webb noticed: the floors were protected and the crew cleaned everything, daily. Then the old wood balusters, rail and posts come off.

Newels and treads

Box newels set, wood stained

New box newels go in at the foot and the turns, and the treads take a stain picked to sit with the floor. White risers keep every step crisp from the hallway.

Run the iron

Balusters set, the rail capped

Iron balusters go in one by one and the handrail caps them, straight or following the curve of the stair. Jamie Allen's verdict on the finished rail: the stain was perfect, the lines and cuts were perfect.
