Stair Railings, Balusters and Newel Posts in Nashville, TN by Nashville Carpentry across Middle Tennessee
Safe to hold, nice to see.
The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Railings do two jobs: they give you something to hold and they keep people from falling. That means solid posts, correct heights and baluster spacing small enough to meet code, along with a smooth profile that feels good in the hand.

We replace wobbly rails, install new balusters and newel posts, add guards on open stairs and decks and finish the work in paint or stain.

Good questions

Railings, Balusters and Newel Posts: common questions

How far apart can balusters be?

Codes typically require openings small enough that a four-inch sphere cannot pass through, and guards are often at least 36 inches high. Local rules can differ.

Can you repair a loose newel post?

Yes. We secure it to the framing with hardware or replace it if it is damaged.
