About the project

Artisanal Restoration removed old decaying stairs, added a concrete foundation to prevent future decay from ground contact, and reframed the stringers and base plate with healthy wood.

The new structural framework was covered with beautiful mahogany treads, then topped off with a custom balustrade featuring beautiful finish carpentry details on the rail profile and newel post finials.
