        "text": "New handrail installation involves setting up an entirely new system, often when none exists, or the existing one is beyond repair or significantly outdated. This can include new balusters, newel posts, and the rail itself, ensuring all elements meet current safety and building codes. Handrail repair, conversely, focuses on fixing specific issues with an existing handrail, such as re-securing loose sections, replacing a damaged segment, or reinforcing wobbly posts. Repair is usually less extensive and more cost-effective if the underlying structure is sound.",
