This Edmonton homeowner wanted to enhance both safety and curb appeal by upgrading their front entrance railing and master bedroom balcony. They envisioned a modern, durable solution that would not only complement their home’s exterior but also provide long-term reliability. Their goal was to replace the existing railings with a sleek, high-quality TimberTech railing system while ensuring stability on the existing brick structure.

Challenge

The primary challenge of this project was securing the new railing to old brickwork. Over time, brick surfaces can become brittle, making it difficult to anchor heavy structures safely. Without proper installation techniques, the railing could become unstable, posing safety risks and diminishing the aesthetic value of the upgrade.

Solution

To address the challenges of mounting the railing on aged brickwork, our team carefully selected the right masonry anchors and reinforcement methods. By using high-strength fasteners and expert installation techniques, we ensured a secure, long-lasting fit. This approach guaranteed that the TimberTech railing would remain sturdy and reliable, even under regular use and exposure to Edmonton’s weather conditions.

Execution

Over the course of three days, our skilled team executed the transformation with precision. We:

• Removed the old railings and prepared the brick surfaces for secure mounting.
• Installed the TimberTech railing system with reinforced anchoring techniques.
• Ensured seamless integration between the composite stairs and railing to create a cohesive look.
• Conducted thorough quality checks to confirm stability and durability.

Outcome

The finished project delivered both aesthetic and functional improvements:

• The TimberTech railing provides a sleek, modern appearance that enhances the home’s curb appeal.
• The front entrance now makes a striking first impression while offering secure handrails for added safety.
• The master bedroom balcony has been transformed into a visually appealing, structurally sound feature.

This upgrade not only met but exceeded the homeowner’s expectations, delivering a long-lasting and stylish solution.
