Choosing a basic 5015 baluster and 6010 handrail is easy. It’s when we go beyond the basics that there is apprehension on where to buy and what to choose. There are a ton of stair part suppliers out there, but if you look closely, the offerings of each are extremely similar. Many stair part suppliers actually buy most, if not all, of their offerings from China. And as most stair builders know, crisp lines and quality can be suspect and sporadic. And if something out of the “ordinary” is needed, lead times can suffer.

Oak Pointe is far beyond the typical stair part supplier. They are actually a manufacturer and leader in stair parts made in the USA. The quality of their stair parts, and turnings with multiple profiles, and decorative milling options, make them a preferred supplier at Shepley. At Oak Pointe what is custom to most is standard to them . They offer a large selection of handrail, baluster and newel options in any, or multiple, species as the norm.

Oak Pointe’s custom capabilities, short lead times and quality make them a leader in the industry. The hollow turnings are impressive and the vast selection of milling options will meet any design theme. Custom turnings are an integral part of their business, with turnings available up to 124″ long x 15″ in diameter. They offer historic restoration and will prime, paint, stain & clear coat most offerings.

Oak Pointe will also offer cabinetry components, island columns, bun feet and cabinet legs. Fireplace columns and decorative columns are part of their offerings.
