Composite Stair Build with Westbury Aluminum Railing on a Front Entry

The front entry is the first thing anyone sees when they walk up to your home. When the stairs are worn out or just plain ugly, it drags the whole look down - no matter how nice the rest of the house is. That's exactly the kind of problem we were brought in to fix here.

We started from the ground up - framing out a solid pressure-treated substructure, leveling everything carefully before a single piece of composite went down. The picture-framed treads and risers are the detail that really sets this one apart. That black border wrapping each tread gives the whole staircase a finished, intentional look that you just don't get with a standard build. Composite means no rotting, no painting, no annual maintenance headaches either.

For the railing, we went with Westbury aluminum. It's a clean, sturdy system that holds up in the elements without rusting or fading. We ran it along the entry stairs and then carried a matching section down by the sidewalk so the whole approach to the house reads as one cohesive setup - not two separate things that happen to be near each other. That kind of continuity matters.

The result is a front entry that looks like it belongs on the house. Sharp, low maintenance, and built to handle years of use without any issues. This is the kind of work we do regularly as part of our exterior structures and general contracting services - it's never just about function, it's about making the whole front of the home look like someone actually cared.
