Step 4 · Install New Balusters and Handrails
Begin by marking the spacing for your balusters according to local building codes (typically no more than 4 inches apart). Attach the balusters to the treads (or shoe or skirt board) and to the underside of the handrail. Use appropriate fasteners, such as baluster mounting kits or screws, ensuring they are strong and concealed if possible. Next, attach the handrail to the newel posts and to any supporting brackets. Ensure the handrail is at the correct height (typically 34-38 inches from the tread nosing) and is securely mounted to provide adequate support.
