Newel Post & Handrail Installation

What this involves.

Newel post and handrail installation is the backbone of a safe, good-looking staircase, because everything else depends on these anchor points being set right. We locate solid framing, set the newel posts plumb, and fasten them deep so they don't loosen over time. Then we cut and fit the handrail to the posts at a comfortable height, with clean miters and tight joints at every turn and landing. We make sure the rail flows smoothly under your hand from top to bottom with no snags or gaps. Whether it's a full railing or a repair on a wobbly post, we build it to hold tight and look finished.

• Locating solid framing and setting newel posts plumb and deeply anchored
• Cutting and fitting the handrail at a comfortable, code-conscious height
• Making clean miters and tight joints at turns, landings, and transitions
• Securing rail-to-post connections so the railing never works loose
• Re-anchoring or replacing existing posts that have gone wobbly
• Sanding and finishing posts and rail to match the staircase
• Final cleanup and a walkthrough to confirm the railing is solid and smooth to hold
