Custom Stairs

Stairs are sculpture you walk on.

A staircase is the most-touched piece of carpentry in your home. Wobbly newels, squeaks, gaps at the wall — they all come from cutting corners. We build stairs to architectural-grade tolerances.

  • Open-riser, closed-riser, floating treads. Code-compliant rise and run, every time.
  • Stringers, treads, risers. Premium hardwood, no MDF where it shouldn't be.
  • Railings & balustrades. Wood spindles, iron pickets, glass panels, cable systems.
  • Refinishing existing stairs. Sand, stain, seal — water-based for low VOC, oil-based for richer tones.
  • Squeaky stair fixes. Tracked to the cause — wedge, glue block, or full tread replacement.

FAQ

Custom Stairs — common questions

Can you replace just the railings?

Yes — railing-only swaps are very common. We can swap colonial wood spindles for iron pickets or tempered glass without touching the treads/risers. Typical 2-day job.

How much does a new staircase cost?

$8,000–$15,000 for a standard interior stair refinish + new railings. $15,000–$35,000 for a full new build with hardwood treads and iron or glass railings. Floating-tread modern stairs run $25,000–$60,000.

Can you fix a squeaky stair without tearing it apart?

Often yes — wedges and glue blocks installed from underneath (if the basement ceiling is open) or top-down screws into the stringer covered with wood plugs.
