How to Get an Accurate Quote for Your Custom Stairs

Are you planning to upgrade or install new stairs in your home or business? We’re here to make the quoting process as smooth as possible! To provide you with a precise and tailored quote, we need a few key details from you.

Here’s what we require to get started:

1. Measure the Place where the stairs will go.

   

   
   

2. Pictures of the Stair Opening

   
   

   Please send us clear photos of the stair opening or the area where the stairs will be installed. These images help us understand the space, dimensions, and any unique features or challenges. Multiple angles are ideal!

   
   

3. Type of Wood for the Stairs

   
   

   Let us know your preferred wood type for the stair treads and risers. Choosing the right wood enhances both the aesthetic and durability of your stairs, and understanding their relative costs can help you plan your budget. Here are popular options with their attributes and price categories:

   
   

   • Red Oak (Mid-Price): A classic choice with a warm, reddish tone and prominent grain. It’s durable, stains beautifully, and is versatile for traditional or modern designs. Red oak is moderately priced, offering great value for quality.

     
     

   • White Oak (Mid to High-Price): Known for its lighter, golden hue and tighter grain, white oak offers a refined, timeless look. It’s highly durable and moisture-resistant, ideal for high-traffic areas, but more expensive than red oak due to its premium qualities.

     
     

   • Maple (Mid-Price): Features a smooth, light-colored surface with subtle grain, perfect for contemporary or minimalist styles. Maple is very hard and resists wear, making it a cost-effective choice for durability, though staining can be trickier.

     
     

   • Hickory (Mid to High-Price): A bold option with dramatic grain patterns and a mix of light and dark tones. Hickory is one of the hardest woods, offering exceptional strength for busy households, but its unique look and durability come at a higher cost.

     
     

   • Walnut (High-Price): A luxurious, dark brown wood with rich, swirling grain. Walnut adds elegance and sophistication, ideal for premium designs, but it’s softer and significantly more expensive due to its rarity and aesthetic appeal.

     
     

   • Pine (Budget-Friendly): A budget-friendly softwood with a light, knotty appearance. Pine has a rustic charm and takes stains well, but it’s less durable and may dent more easily, making it the most affordable option

     
     

     These are the most popular options, but not all available options! So if you have an interest in something else, just let me know!

   
   

4. Wood Type or Material for Railing and Spindles

   
   

   For the railing and spindles, please specify your material preferences:

   • Wood: Match the stairs or choose a complementary wood type (e.g., oak, pine, or mahogany).

   • Metal: Sleek and modern, available in finishes like stainless steel or wrought iron.

   • Glass: Perfect for a contemporary, open look.

     
     

     Let us know your vision, and we’ll bring it to life!
