A Staircase That
Looks Original

Finishing the stair stringer welds

The Challenge

The owners of an 1899 Park Slope brownstone wanted a rear garden stair that met modern code without looking modern. Tight masonry openings, a landmark-adjacent facade and exactly one crane window of access made this a measuring-twice kind of job.

Our Approach

We templated every opening on site, drew the stair and rails for approval, then built the stringers, pickets and handrail in the shop. TIG welds were ground flush, the whole assembly was powder-coated in matte black, and installation took two days with hand-carry rigging — not a scuff on the garden walls.

  • Site-templated stringers and landings
  • Code-spaced pickets, flush TIG joints
  • Matte-black powder coat finish
  • Two-day hand-carry installation
