After

A Rosedale homeowner wanted to modernize their centre-hall staircase without a full renovation. The painted colonial spindles were dated but the oak handrail and treads were in good shape.

## The scope

We cut the spindles at the base and tread, removed them cleanly, drilled new holes to accept our black twisted iron balusters, and installed to Ontario Building Code Section 3.4.6 spacing. Scope was $3,200 within our $2,800-$3,600 quoted range.

## Timeline

Two days on site. Day one: removal and layout. Day two: install and touch-up stain on the oak handrail base.
