The Balusters Direct Installation Process is made up of three key phases:

1. Set up Phase
2. Removal/Preparation Phase
3. Installation Phase

Set-up Phase
Upon arrival for installation, The Balusters Direct Installation Manager (IM) will meet with the Homeowner and review the area where the installation will take place.  The IM will verify with Homeowner the baluster style and pattern.  

The IM will work with Homeowner to identify an acceptable area where tools and materials can be placed during installation.  IM will place drop cloths down to protect floors and unload all tools and materials onto drop cloths.

Removal/Preparation Phase
The next phase begins with the removal of all existing wooden spindles (unless homeowner has instructed that the job be done in sections due to safety concerns because of the presence of young children).  Wooden spindles are cut from the staircase and disposed of.  Existing railing holes and tread holes are cleaned of nails and glue.  The holes are also inspected to ensure they are proper diameter and depth to accommodate the wrought iron balusters.       

Once all holes are properly cleaned and any needed drilling has been completed, the IM will vacuum all debris from the work area.  

Installation Phase
The Installation Phase includes the custom cutting of the individual wrought iron balusters.  Each baluster is measured and cut to ensure an optimal fit.  The balusters are installed so the requested design is "balanced" in order to fit the existing staircase.

Baluster shoes are added to cover the "square" area at the base of the baluster that is not stained.  The top and bottom of the balusters are secured to guarantee that they do not move/rattle.    Installation is now complete.
