Step 01 of 05
Site measure
We come out and field-measure the rough opening, rise and run, and landing conditions — so the stair is built to the house, not to a guess.

How an order runs
Measure to install — one shop, one crew, your framing date.

Why contractors keep the stair scope with us.
You've got three ways to cover a stair-and-railing scope. Only one runs to your framing date, gets your COI back fast, and — when you refer it — bills the customer directly so you can step away clean.

Contractor FAQ
The questions the trade actually asks.
Yes — they're the two models in the cards above. Refer it and you're out of the trade entirely (we design, price, and bill your customer; your name comes off it); sub it and you stay the GC (buy parts or stairs at trade pricing and install with your own crew, foreman on the phone). The only rule: use one or the other on a given job, not both.
