West Vancouver

This couple hired us to update their existing railing design and correct a common but frustrating problem: narrow treads and awkward pie-shaped tread transitions. What looked like a simple railing refresh turned into a real structural fix.

BEFORE: Original staircase with narrow, pie-shaped tread transitions at the West Vancouver home.
AFTER: Updated railing design with corrected tread transitions at the West Vancouver home.

Pie-shaped and narrow tread transitions are more than a cosmetic issue, they’re often a safety and code concern. This remodel corrected the geometry while giving the couple a completely updated railing they’d wanted from the start.
