By Oak Pointe Team

Are you building a new home or beginning renovations on an older home?

Either way, congratulations, what an exciting journey you are on! Each process poses very different challenges. The Oak Pointe staffs desire to help you along the way by making one step a little easier (pun intended).

  1. What type of staircase system are you building or renovating? Check out some typical staircase anatomies here.
  2. What type of balustrade system do you desire?
    1. Post-to-Post: This balustrade system handrail is not continuous, meaning the handrail extends from one newel to the next.
    2. Over-the-Post: This balustrade system uses handrail fittings and over-the-post newels to create a seamless and continuous handrail system.
