I live in a 1960s house. When I moved in 20 years ago I had solid wood ranch style stairs which sadly were replaced with spindles. Recently I hired a builder (who has done great work for people I know) to restore the stairs to their original style. Cut a long story short, he sent one of his men to do this and made a complete hash of it. Some rethinking later I asked him to redo them with square spindles and a new handrail and base-rail. He’s just finished this yesterday and I am really annoyed at this part where I have two diminishing areas.
So my questions are - am I right to be annoyed? Secondly, how can this be rectified without removing the rest of it (which means spending even more money to fix)?
I attach a (apologies) slightly blurry photo or how they were when done by the original builder and how they look now.
I appreciate any responses that are able to help me with this as I am at my wit’s end with this builder now and I think he may just walk from the job rather than rectifying it and I cannot afford to have them done yet again! Thank you.
