Which nearby areas do you cover?
Tualatin, Wilsonville, Newberg, Tigard, King City, and the rest of the metro, plus the Parrett Mountain and Chehalem properties just outside town.
How much upkeep does a glass railing need?
Cleaning, and not much else. Panels wash like windows and there is no finish to repaint, which is the main reason people replace wood railings here in the first place.
Frameless or framed for a family home?
Framed, usually. It gives a proper handhold on the stair, costs less, and its stronger lines suit farmhouse architecture. Frameless is worth considering on a deck facing the foothills or open ground.
Can you replace the stair railing without redoing the staircase?
Yes. The treads, stringers, and structure stay put. We measure the stair, fabricate the glass system to it, and install it in place of the old railing, which is why the change reads as a remodel while staying a contained project.
Does glass fit the modern farmhouse look?
It does, in the right form. A glass panel under a natural wood top rail with black hardware keeps the farmhouse palette exactly and simply removes the baluster clutter. That combination is our most requested Sherwood build.
