About the Project

Pressure-Treated Wood Stair Installation in Andalusia, PA

For this project in Andalusia, Pennsylvania, we replaced a structurally compromised front staircase that had begun pulling away from the home. Because the existing stairs could no longer be safely repaired, our team completed a full demolition and built a brand-new pressure-treated wood staircase designed for long-term durability, safety, and code-compliant access.

The project also included new concrete footings and a complete vinyl railing system to provide a secure, finished appearance.

Demolition and Site Preparation

The project began with the careful demolition and removal of the existing five-step staircase and all associated debris.

To create a stable foundation for the new structure, we excavated the area and installed new concrete footings, providing strong support for the replacement staircase.

New Pressure-Treated Staircase

We constructed a new staircase using pressure-treated lumber designed to withstand the elements and provide years of dependable performance.

The installation included:

  • Pressure-treated stair framing
  • New 11-inch stair treads
  • New 7-inch risers
  • Secure attachment to the existing porch
  • Structural connectors and heavy-duty fasteners
  • Proper stair dimensions and pitch for safe use and water drainage

Every component was installed with attention to structural integrity and long-term durability.

New Vinyl Railing System

To improve safety and complete the project, we installed new white vinyl railings on both sides of the staircase.

The installation included:

  • Two new vinyl railing systems
  • Structural metal mounting posts
  • New post sleeves
  • Decorative post caps and bases
  • Secure mounting hardware

Because the existing porch columns could not accommodate the new railings, the railing system was professionally mounted to the deck using structural metal posts, creating a secure and attractive finished result.

The completed staircase provides safe, stable access to the home while enhancing its curb appeal with low-maintenance materials and quality craftsmanship.
