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.
