“Jack of the Woods remodeled our upper staircase in our small 85 year old Northeast English Cottage. The beat-up half-wall was replaced with a beautiful railing including rail, balusters, and newels. The white oak floor was extended to accommodate the new railing using excellent condition salvaged white oak flooring as well as new white oak. The stringers on the upper section were refurbished and the existing treads were replaced with new white oak treads; the risers were replaced as well. And a railing was added to the lower section of the stairway. We were in the house during much of the work and the stairway separates the bedroom and bathroom from the rest of the house. The Jack of the Woods crew were great at making sure that the stairway was accessible and clean at night with a temporary railing for safety.

Jay Lane of Jack of the Woods did a number of significant projects for us and we were extremely happy with the work done. So we proposed the staircase remodel. His partner Gary gave us great advice on the type of railing, balusters, newels, etc. needed to make the new staircase fit with the architecture of our house. Once the materials came in, Jay, Gary, and Peter started the work and demolished the old half wall. They were very careful to contain the mess and also preserve our newly refurbed walls surrounding the staircase. As usual, Jay and his team paid great attention to detail and craftsmanship. At each step, the components were fit together with precision. The end result is a great addition to our house.”
