Don't forget about safety! We ensure that your stairs are up to code and meet safety regulations. This includes having a secure and stable handrail and making sure the steps are even and slip-resistant.
Tips & Tricks for a Successful Stair Installation
Stair installation can be a complex project, and it's important to make sure it's done correctly. For safety reasons we:
Always use the correct type of screws or nails for the material we’re working with. This will make sure that the stairs are secure and stable.
Take our time with each step of the process, and don't rush. Cutting corners or hurrying through the project can lead to mistakes and potential safety hazards.
Choose a handrail that not only matches the style of your stairs, but is also comfortable to hold and easy to grip.
Make sure to acclimate the wood to your home's climate before installation when using hardwood. This will help prevent the wood from warping or cracking over time.
