Before and After: Modernize a split-level home

One of the greatest benefits of cable railing is how it instantly modernizes a space, whether exterior or interior. This before and after features a split-level home.

Split-level homes became popular in the 1950s and 1960s. At the time, the style appealed to a wide range of buyers because it was a fresh design that stood apart from modest bungalows in the housing market, yet could be affordably built on smaller lots than a sprawling ranch.

The style peaked in the 1970s, often showcasing chunky oak railing dividing spaces, along with brick and/or wood accents throughout. That style is now outdated, and homeowners of split-level homes are looking to modernize. By simply making a switch to the interior railing, the space is instantly transformed from old-fashioned to current and modern. What a difference one change can make!

“High quality stainless steel cable railing about 20 feet long with stainless steel top rail. Customer experience EXCELLENT and people very courteous. Pricing was very reasonable. I live in Florida and this was for a project in a vacation home on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Started ordering almost 9 months before needed. Everyone at AGS was considerate and cooperative keeping me informed all along. Railing arrived when requested (2nd week in July) and I installed as a DIY in one day. Instructions from AGS were clear and understandable.”
