─── Built herePanel 01 of 04

We build your stairs here, in our Whitehall shop.

Designed, built, finish-fit, and crated under one roof at 117 Franklin Street since 1987. The parts we don't make — posts, balusters, newels, iron — we source from specialist suppliers and coordinate under the Snyder umbrella, so it all comes together as one project.

─── One roofPanel 02 of 04

Every part coordinated under one roof — no mid-project handoffs.

We design and build the stair, and install the railing. The wood, the iron, the newels and balusters all run through our shop and get fit together here — so you're not chasing three vendors to finish one staircase.

─── SpecialistsPanel 03 of 04

Specialists in stairs and railings. Not a general contractor.

It's a niche the Lehigh Valley doesn't have many of — most shops take orders for railings and have someone else build the stair, or do general renovation and treat the stair as a side scope. We do stairs and railings only. Every day, for 39 years.

─── 39 yearsPanel 04 of 04

39 years. 6,000+ railings. Two generations, one family.

Started in 1987 in a two-car garage in Phillipsburg, NJ. Moved home to Whitehall in 2008. Same family at the helm — and we ship parts nationwide from this shop.
