The work is stunning! It is true, Wendell is punctual and his craftsmanship exceptional. It was worth every penny! **★★★★★ — Janet Prendergast, Aug. 2024** > Wendell just completed work at our home. We live in a split level with lots of stairs! We had a railing put across our dining room which is 4 steps up from the living room. He also put new handrails and posts on the stairs to the second floor as well as on the stairs from the kitchen to the hall. Besides that, he also replaced the stairs which we in sad shape. They were cracked and squeaky. Now they are silent and sturdy! Besides that he fixed the handrail to the basement that was missing a bracket and starting to come out of the wall at the top. Now it's safe and sturdy! If you have any stairs, rails or posts that need to be replaced or just upgraded, call UpStairs! His prices are reasonable and his work is impeccable. When he left except for the new work, you couldn't tell he was there as he vacuumed any dust he may have created. He arrived on time (early in fact) and worked all day alone. It was almost two days work and well worth it. Friends of ours were impressed and are considering calling him. Thanks Wendell! **★★★★★ — Heather Kaiser, Feb. 2024** > Up Stairs Rails did an amazing job! Wendel is punctual, clean, and beyond talented. Our entryway railings look absolutely stunning. **Comment from Up Stairs Rails:** > Thank you so much Heather. Glad to hear you are loving the new railings! ## Selected projects - [Modern Wood and Metal Railing with Black Window Balusters](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-wood-and-metal-railing-with-black-window-balusters-pj-vj~7928118) - Location: Spotswood, NJ - Photos: 4 - Description: This indoor railing installation transformed the entryway with a modern wood and metal railing featuring a square red oak handrail and simple square newel posts.
