Stairs

In the next year, we want to replace the stairs leading from the garden to the parlor floor in our new place. We don’t know if the current, old, crooked, uneven stairs (frame house) can be overhauled or if the whole thing should be ripped out. Any advice? Recommendations? Ideas about reasonable budget and timeline?…
Hello,. I am in need of a handrail for my top floor. I have discovered after I stripped the paint that the paint was the only thing holding the handrail together. I am very interested in your hand rail. I know Beggers cant be choosers....But do you have images of the handrail that would be great. I just wanted a visual to know if it could work with my existing hand rails. Thanks SV
Free Mahogany Hand RailYou could spend a lot of time looking for one or you could bring this picture to Bill Bennett from NY Fine Circular stairs. 884 Broadway, 718-218-9051. He will make you one out of the wood that you specify. He has a custom mill working shop in BedSty. He did a lot of work for me - replaced hallway stairs, replaced missing spindles, for interior staircase,created bannister, spindles etc. He also made my front door, a custom frame for an interior beveled glass window, finishing work for my kitchen cabinetry which (like many projects) contractors always leave something messed up/undone. Bill finished my cabinetry to look lovely. I highly recommend him; his prices are very good. And he is a nice guy. Does what he says.

METAL STAIRSBe careful here. No combustible construction (ie.: NO WOOD) is permitted within 3-feet of your lot lines, meaning that your existing deck might be illegal. Some examiners will approve "ipe" (aka: ironwood, so dense it won't burn) within this 3-foot zone, but I've seen this go both ways! If cheap is your goal, look for a metal stair. Lots of guys around Brooklyn make these.
