01 · ABOUT THIS PROJECT

I completed this custom commercial stair and railing installation in downtown Oakville to replace an existing post-to-post glass system. Working closely with the designer's conceptual plan, I installed a heritage-style over-the-post continuous handrail system. The custom posts and spindles were manufactured by A&D Woodturning in Markham, paired with a custom rail profile sourced from a Barrie stair supplier. Executing the project primarily over weekends required careful pre-planning, layout coordination, and precise carpenter joinery to deliver a seamless traditional railing.
