Decks Photo Album: A Safer New Entry: Stairway Transformation in Kalamazoo, MI

The homeowner wanted to commit to improving their old deck entry stairway of its accessibility and safety without worrying of it falling apart on his way back in to his home.    We are here to revamp the entry stair structure to ensure of its durability. We recognized of the risks posed by the steep existing stairway. We ended up having to remove it entirely as it wouldn't be safe and secure for the homeowner. In its place, we added a spacious 15 sq.ft. landing area at the top of the stairs, providing more ample room for movement and transition.    To further enhance its usability, we extended the stairway by adding an extra step. This addition not only reduced the height of each step, but it also elongated the overall length of the stairway to ensure for a smoother ascent and descent.    In considering of the stability and support, we installed a round graspable handrails on both sides of the stairway. The handrails helps provide an easier navigation of going up and down the stairs and it contributes to the overall safety of the entryway.   The result of the modifications were a success as the stairway has went through a remarkable transformation. The deck entry stairway is now safer and easier to climb for anyone coming in and out of the home.
