Staircases are typically rebuilt and changed more than any other part of a home because of poor planning and cutting corners when choosing materials.  If you're in need of a brand new staircase or need to repair an existing set of stairs, 123 Remodeling will work with you from concept to finish to executed the project according to the initial design, and to ensure you have the best quality staircase for your budget.  

Any house built on more than one level has at least one staircase that serves as its vertical thoroughfare. There are, of course, many different kinds of stairs, differing by their materials, construction methods, general shape, design, and a number of other features. In most situations, a staircase is an integral part of the home's design and style. Stairs may be steep or gradual, narrow or wide, purely functional, or grand and showy. Some are built-in place by woodworkers, finish carpenters, or stair makers; others are factory manufactured, shipped to a building site, and installed by our carpenters.

A stair's design is heavily affected by its function. An entry stairway that handles all up-and-down foot traffic and is placed in a highly visible location is bound to be much grander than a stairway to a hardly ever used basement or where economy is imperative.

Regardless of type, all stairs have the same fundamental parts. It is how these parts are built and combined that gives a stairway its style and individuality. Of course, not all stairways have all of these parts—for example; some stairways have open risers (no risers).

Contemporary Staircases

Contemporary staircases are a mix of traditional style mixed with clean modern design.  Simple wooden slabs or planks stained custom colors will create a contemporary staircase with a warm and inviting feel.  Bamboo is also being used as an option for building materials. 

Wrought iron and stainless steel are being used for an industrial and modern look.  Stainless steel and economical galvanized steel railing systems are modular design and require no welding or polishing and can be paired with a stainless or wooden handrail. Galvanized steel is used to create custom paint colors and finishes.

Modern Staircases

When building a modern staircase one option to consider is a high-quality designer carpet that can withstand a high volume of traffic.  A pattern can create a new focal point to a

staircase if there is a prominent staircase in your home.  Laminate stair treads are also an option that gives your step a professional, finished look.  Laminate treads fit over the entire step and are more durable than hardwood steps.  They come in a variety of colors and designs to match any decor.

Traditional Staircases

Traditional staircase design covers a range of architectural styles.  Selecting a staircase design depends on the space available and the interior architecture of the home.  The choices and combination of stairs can be created with intricate wood detailing or straight functional lines.

Staircase Types

Straight Staircases: Straight staircases are the most typical and found in most homes.  These staircases can be built with a T-shaped or L-shaped landing to change direction.

Spiral Staircases: Spiral staircases are designed to fit into almost any small area.  The steps progress around a support pole in the center.

Circular Staircases: Circular staircases are similar in design to spiral staircases without a center support pole.  They can have very wide curves for a unique appearance.

Elliptical Staircases: Elliptical Staircases are a curved staircase that narrows at the top and bottom with a wider curve in the middle.

Freestanding Staircases: Any type of straight or curved staircase can be freestanding.  These are staircases that you can walk beneath.

Stairs are built according to basic rules and principles intended to make them safe to use. These rules, governed by building codes, stipulate the permissible heights of risers, depth and width of treads, placement of handrails, and similar concerns. 123 Remodeling does the leg work for you.
