Staircases

Staircases


The staircase in a home can be one of the most dangerous places. Many older homes have designs that are simply not up to today’s standards. Apart from no lighting, no handrail, no guardrail, low head room and small steps, this staircase would lead a fallen victim directly into a cement wall at the bottom, not your ideal scenario. Always consult a licensed contractor when making changes, especially on stair cases. More info available at
