Stairs

From grand curved staircases to clean modern rail lines, stairs are where framing precision and finish carpentry meet. Interior and exterior, iron or wood, built to be walked on for decades.

The curved staircases on this page pair paneled walls that follow the curve with painted balusters and a continuous stained handrail. On remodels and new builds the work runs from stringers and treads through box newels and iron balusters. Exterior stairs get the same care for rise, run, and railing as the deck they serve.
