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 Tacoma Choose This Service
Remodels in Tacoma usually start with the stair that is already there. With historic homes with original woodwork and postwar ramblers with basement stairs common here, we plan layouts and materials that suit the existing architecture rather than forcing a one-size design.
Tacoma has a deep stock of early 20th century homes in the North End and Stadium District plus postwar neighborhoods throughout the city.
We serve neighborhoods such as North End, Stadium District, Proctor, Hilltop, about 33 miles from Seattle.
