Handrail in Lehi

We just finished a remodel in Lehi. Here is the handrail. The staircase in this home is a little cramped, but we did what we could to mitigate that without removing bearing walls or cutting a hole in the roof.

The simple, square, paint grade balusters are a favorite of mine. They give the handrail a clean look of strength. The newel posts are box newels. I built them myself to save money on the project. Building them saved about $900.

Deck in Farmington

Here's a deck remodel we did in Farmington. They replaced an existing deck.

The only thing left from the original is the footings for the large posts.

The handrail is redwood, which is an excellent exterior wood. It looks great but it does need some tlc: it has to be stained every couple of years.

The deck is a composite material put down with a hidden fastener system. Small metal clips are installed in the cracks between boards below the surface level. You cannot see the screws that hold the boards.



Barn Door

Here's a Barn Door in that vacation home in Summit County. 

This is a very interesting decorative door and can also solve some some design problems.

  

Paneling in Sundance

Here is a bedroom in a cabin up at Sundance in Provo Canyon. We did paneling on all the walls. Most got a wainscot (paneling up three feet), but the wall at the head of the bed got a substantial panel system. It includes a 'boxes within boxes' pattern and some raised panels in the in-most boxes. The whole thing has been distressed to go with the old-world theme of the rest of the cabin. Overall this was a great addition to a splendid room.

Radius Door Casing

One of my favorite pieces of custom carpentry is radius casing. Radius openings, windows, and doors are a great accent for homes.

Custom Handrail

Here are some pictures of a custom handrail we did in a vacation home in Summit County.

The newel posts are solid white oak.

The balusters are poplar, painted white. Their rectangular shape maks for a great look.

We had to notch the top cap of each newel post to accept the handrail. It was very delicate work.

 Here are some close-ups of some of the 'fittings' (the parts of the handrail that are bent).
They create a great transition between levels of the staircase.



Fireplace in Sandy

I just finished a fireplace remodel in Sandy. We did a built up mantle with a raised panel system above. We finished it off with matching crown molding against the ceiling. It painted out very nice.


Here is the "before" picture

Here it is after it's all done and painted

Arches

We had to doll up the sun-porch on this remodel in Lehi. We added three arches. The interesting thing here is that the distance from the peak of the arch to the shoulders is the same on all three arches. The different widths changes the radius ("archy-ness") dramatically. The whole thing will be done in stucco which will tie it all together and give it a 'Mission Style' feel.

 Here's the after pictures of the arches.
The house turned out great.

Panel System

Here's a picture of a wainscot we did in Sandy. It's a great accent to any formal gathering area in your home.
