About the Service

Staircase modernization targets the details that make stairs look dated, like turned spindles, honey oak finishes, and bulky newels. We replace them with simpler profiles, updated colors, and modern railing systems. More about staircase modernization

Local context

Why Homeowners in Seattle Choose This Service

Remodels in Seattle usually start with the stair that is already there. With older craftsman homes with original stairs and split-level and midcentury homes common here, we plan layouts and materials that suit the existing architecture rather than forcing a one-size design.

Seattle's housing stock ranges from early 1900s Craftsman bungalows and Tudors to midcentury ramblers, split-levels, and newer townhomes.

We serve neighborhoods such as Ballard, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Wallingford, right here in Seattle.
