FAQs

The cost of a staircase remodel varies based on project scope, material selection, and structural requirements. Simple upgrades like baluster replacement and tread refinishing typically range from $1,500 to $3,500. Comprehensive remodels involving custom components and layout changes can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 or more. We offer complimentary consultations to assist you in planning a staircase that aligns with your objectives and budget constraints.

Most staircase projects are completed within 2 to 4 weeks from initial consultation to final installation. We maintain an efficient timeline through our fully stocked warehouse, prompt special order processing (usually within a week), and skilled installers who work diligently without sacrificing quality.

A complete staircase replacement is not always necessary. If the underlying structure is sound, we can enhance the appearance by updating specific components such as treads and risers, handrails and newels, or balusters in wood or metal. Our team will assess your staircase and recommend which elements should be retained or replaced based on your specific goals and requirements.

In most cases, you can remain in your home during the remodel. However, if your staircase provides the sole access to essential areas like bedrooms or bathrooms, we will work with you to devise alternative routes or schedule the work to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

We provide an extensive selection of materials including various hardwoods (oak, maple, walnut, pine, and others), balusters (wrought iron, wood, cable, and glass), and handrails and newels in diverse shapes, sizes, and finishes. For unique requirements, we can source or fabricate custom components to meet your specific needs.

Permit requirements depend on the nature of your project. Structural modifications, such as altering the layout or removing walls, typically require permits. Most cosmetic updates, including part replacement, painting, or refinishing, do not necessitate permits. Our team will advise you based on your specific project and manage any required documentation if permits are needed.

We ensure all our staircases comply with Georgia building codes, including specifications for tread depth, riser height, handrail height, baluster spacing, and load-bearing requirements. Our commitment to both safety and style means your staircase will pass inspection and provide long-lasting performance.

We offer personalized design consultations and provide access to an interactive stair design tool to help you visualize various combinations of stair components, finishes, and layouts. Our experienced team is dedicated to making the selection process both straightforward and enjoyable for you.
