Stairs FAQ Section
Q: What is the typical installation time for custom stairs?
A: The installation process for custom stairs typically takes 3-5 business days for standard residential projects. This includes measuring, fabrication (if needed), assembly, and final adjustments. Complex designs or commercial projects may require additional time.
Q: How do I maintain and clean my stairs properly?
A: For wooden stairs, use a mild wood cleaner and avoid excessive moisture. Glass stairs require regular cleaning with non-abrasive glass cleaner. Metal stairs benefit from occasional polishing with appropriate metal cleaners. Always follow manufacturer recommendations for specific maintenance.
Q: Can existing stairs be modified or renovated?
A: Yes, in most cases existing stairs can be modified. Common renovations include replacing treads/risers, adding railings, or changing materials. However, structural modifications may require professional assessment to ensure compliance with building codes.

Stairs FAQ Section
Q: What are the building code requirements for residential stairs?
A: Residential stairs must have a maximum rise of 7.75 inches and minimum run of 10 inches. Handrails are required when there are four or more risers, and they must be graspable. The maximum space between balusters cannot exceed 4 inches to prevent child accidents.
Q: How do I choose between open and closed riser stairs?
A: Open riser stairs offer a modern look and allow more light flow, but may not be suitable for homes with small children or pets. Closed riser stairs provide a traditional appearance and better sound insulation. Consider your household needs and aesthetic preferences when choosing.
Q: What's the average lifespan of quality stairs?
A: Well-constructed stairs with proper maintenance can last 25-50 years. Material selection greatly affects longevity - hardwood stairs typically outlast softwoods, while metal stairs can last indefinitely with proper care. Finish longevity varies from 5-15 years depending on usage.

Stairs FAQ Section
Q: Are permits required for stair installation or replacement?
A: Permit requirements vary by location. Generally, new construction always requires permits, while replacements may not if they're like-for-like. Structural changes or alterations to the footprint typically need approval. We handle all necessary permit applications for our clients.
Q: What's the difference between pre-fabricated and custom-built stairs?
A> Pre-fabricated stairs are manufactured to standard sizes and configurations, offering faster delivery and lower cost. Custom-built stairs are designed specifically for your space, accommodating unique layouts and personal style preferences, but require more time and investment.
Q: How do I choose the right material for my stairs?
A: Consider these factors: budget (hardwood is premium, pine is economical), durability needs (metal lasts longest), maintenance preferences (glass shows fingerprints), safety requirements (textured surfaces for high-traffic areas), and design aesthetic (modern vs traditional).
