Iron Baluster Installation
Iron balusters are one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make to an existing staircase. We handle iron baluster installation from removing the old spindles to setting the new iron tight, level, and evenly spaced.
What this involves.
Iron baluster installation transforms the look of a staircase, trading dated wood spindles for the clean, open feel of iron without touching the treads or railing. We carefully remove the existing balusters, prep the holes in the treads and handrail, and dry-fit the new iron to confirm spacing and pattern before anything is set. Then we cut each baluster to length, set them plumb, and secure them with adhesive so they stay tight and quiet for the long haul. We keep the spacing even and the pattern consistent so the finished run looks intentional. It's a focused upgrade that makes a worn staircase feel current and custom.
