What homeowners say

★★★★★

Someone came out for a bid within days and the job was done the following week. We were told 3 days start to finish, and it took 1. I love the final look.

They helped us design the stairs we wanted, added storage shelves under the stairs, and did it all quickly and affordably. Service is really awesome.

FAQ

Stair remodeling questions

How much does it cost to replace wood balusters with iron?
Price depends on how many balusters your staircase has, the style you pick, and whether the handrail and newels stay. Typical Texas ranges are in the price table above, and your exact price comes in a free written estimate after we measure.
Can you keep my existing handrail?
Usually, yes. If the handrail is solid we can refinish it and install new iron balusters into it. If it is damaged or the wrong profile, we can replace it at the same time.
How long does a stair remodel take?
A typical iron baluster swap takes about one day. Adding new treads, handrails or newel posts can add a day or two. We give you the schedule in writing before work starts.
Can you replace carpet with wood treads?
Yes. We remove the carpet and install real hardwood treads and risers, either full replacement or RetroFit tread kits that cap your existing stairs. All our wood is ready to stain and free of knots and defects.
Will the work be messy?
We protect your floors and walls before we start and clean up every day. Most customers are using their stairs again the same evening.
Do you offer financing or a warranty?
Warranty: Fred to confirm terms. Financing: Fred to confirm.
Do I have to come to the showroom?
No. We can do the whole consultation at your home with samples. If you want to see full staircases first, our Houston and Austin showrooms welcome walk-ins, and Dallas–Fort Worth is by appointment.
