If you have been searching for exactly how to determine newel post placement and height, then this video was created just for you.

There just isn't much detailed information on how to determine the placement and height of newel posts on the internet. This video is intended to provide a detailed explanation of how this is done.

Let's face it, newel posts are expensive, and if cut incorrectly, the newel is wasted. Worst yet, if cut incorrectly and installed too low or high, it will fail the building inspection, which of course compounds the cost of the newel, your time, and a major delay to the deadline and completion of the home, and the all important CO (Certificate of Occupation), and the actual closing of the home.

Stair work is not hard when you break each part down, it does take attention to detail, and it takes a bit of time to learn all aspects. We will cover basic terms associated with stair finishing, and the why behind stairs will pass or fail the building inspection. Stairs are closely monitored by the building inspector due to the inherent potential safety issues, especially concerning small children, the elderly and handicapped folks.
