Bannister & Handrail Replacement

Premium Graspable Railings & Guardrail Transitions

A loose, wobbly handrail is a major safety hazard and an immediate red flag during home inspections. We replace outdated or non-compliant bannisters with solid wood or steel runs that feel rock-solid.

We build our handrails to meet CBC Section 1014 graspable profile rules, offering comfortable ergonomics in white oak, walnut, or steel, fitted with custom-crafted transitions and returns.

Key Details & Options:

✔ CBC-compliant graspable profiles (Type I and Type II rails)
✔ Solid wall stud mounting using heavy-duty structural brackets
✔ Precision mitered returns and custom transition goosenecks
✔ Stained hardwoods matching your hallway handrail woodwork
