Once all components are installed and adhesives have cured, perform a thorough inspection of the entire railing system. Check for any loose balusters, ensure the newel posts are still plumb and secure, and verify that all connections are tight. Confirm that the finish (stain and paint) is even and complete. Address any remaining minor imperfections like exposed nail heads (by plugging them) or caulk lines (by cleaning up any excess). The completed railing provides a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing safety barrier.
