FAQs

The cost of a staircase remodel depends on the project scope, the materials chosen, and any structural requirements. Basic updates, such as replacing balusters and refinishing treads, generally fall between $1,500 and $3,500. In contrast, extensive remodels that incorporate custom elements and layout changes can cost $5,000 to $10,000 or more. We provide free consultations to help you design a staircase that meets your goals and budgetary needs.

Typically, most staircase projects are finalized within a timeframe of 2 to 4 weeks, spanning from the initial consultation to the final installation. This efficient schedule is possible thanks to our well-stocked warehouse, quick special order processing (usually completed within a week), and our adept installers who work meticulously without sacrificing quality.

In many cases, a total staircase replacement isn't necessary. If the foundational structure is sound, we can enhance its aesthetic by swapping out specific elements such as treads and risers, handrails and newels, or balusters in either wood or metal. Our team will assess your staircase and offer tailored recommendations regarding which components can be preserved or require replacement to meet your specific goals.

In most cases, residents can remain at home during the remodel. However, if the staircase is the sole access point to essential areas like bedrooms or bathrooms, we will assist in planning alternative routes or schedule work to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

We offer a comprehensive range of materials, featuring an array of hardwoods such as oak, maple, walnut, pine, and more. Our selection includes balusters available in wrought iron, wood, cable, and glass, alongside handrails and newels in various shapes, sizes, and finishes. For bespoke projects, we can either source or fabricate specific components tailored to your needs.

The need for a permit varies depending on the specifics of the remodel. Structural changes, like redesigning the layout or removing walls, usually require permits. Conversely, most cosmetic enhancements, such as replacing components, painting, or refinishing, typically do not require permits. We will provide guidance tailored to your project and handle any necessary paperwork if permits are required.

We guarantee that all our staircases comply with Georgia building codes, including key specifications such as tread depth, riser height, handrail height, baluster spacing, and load-bearing requirements. Our commitment to safety and aesthetics ensures that your staircase will not only pass inspection but also offer lasting appeal.

We provide tailored design consultations along with access to an interactive stair design tool that enables you to visualize different combinations of stair components, finishes, and layouts. Our design specialists are on hand to assist you throughout the selection process, ensuring it is both simple and enjoyable.
