What you get

What it's like to work with Snyder.

We're easy to get ahold of, straightforward to work with, and focused on stairs every day.

Most contractors don't need a sales pitch—they need reliable people who answer the phone, know the product, and help keep projects moving. That's how we've built relationships for nearly four decades.

  • Clear Scheduling

    We'll give you a realistic lead time before production begins and keep you updated if anything changes. No guessing when your stair package will be ready.

  • Easy to Reach

    Questions before, during, or after the job? Give us a call. You'll talk to someone who works with stairs every day—not a customer service department.

  • Technical Guidance

    Need help matching an existing profile, identifying parts, or working through a detail? We'll walk through it with you before the order goes into production.

  • Showroom & Samples

    Visit our Whitehall showroom to compare wood species, iron balusters, handrail profiles, and newel styles. We also build custom sample displays for contractors and designers we work with regularly.

  • Parts & Material Packages

    Whether you need one replacement newel or a complete stair package, we'll help you get exactly what you need—nothing more, nothing less.

    Step 02 of 05

    CAD + shop drawings

    Step 03 of 05

    Built in our Whitehall shop

    Your staircase is produced in our Whitehall shop using the approved drawings and field measurements. Every project is built specifically for the home it's going into—not built from a kit or subbed out. Whether it's a simple straight run or a curved staircase, production stays under one roof until it's ready for delivery.

    New-construction stairs 2–4 weeks
  4. Stair components staged on pallets, crated for delivery against the framing date.
    Step 04 of 05

    Coordinated Delivery

    Once the staircase is ready, we work with you to schedule delivery around the job. Larger orders can be separated and labeled by unit or location so the right material gets to the right place.

    Delivered on your schedule
  5. A finished Snyder staircase with iron balusters installed in a Lehigh Valley foyer.
    Step 05 of 05

A simpler way to handle the stair

Whether you refer the project, subcontract the work, or purchase the stair and railing components, we give you a clear scope, contractor pricing, and a schedule you can plan around.

Scheduling
Snyder Stairs
A schedule you can build around. Lead time established up front and delivery coordinated with the job.
Other stair suppliers
Another schedule to chase. Lead times, drawings and delivery dates depend on the supplier.
Self-perform
Another scope to fit into your schedule. Stair work competes with everything else already on the job.
Trade pricing
Snyder Stairs
Pricing that leaves room for you. Contractor pricing with better tiers for repeat and volume work.
Other stair suppliers
Ask for a quote every time. Discounts, freight and contractor pricing vary from supplier to supplier.
Self-perform
Material is only part of the cost. Layout, ordering, fabrication and installation all consume your labor.
Stair scope
Snyder Stairs
Measure through delivery. We field-measure, draw, build and deliver the staircase.
Other stair suppliers
You connect the pieces. Measuring, drawings, fabrication and delivery may not all come from the same place.
Self-perform
The whole stair becomes your job. Measure it, source it, lay it out, build it and install it.
Railing
Snyder Stairs
Hand it to us. We measure, supply and install the complete railing package.
Other stair suppliers
Often another scope to coordinate. Material may arrive without anyone responsible for installation.
Self-perform
Another finish trade on your schedule. Parts, layout, fitting and installation stay with you.
Jobsite issues
Snyder Stairs
One call to the stair shop. If a measurement, part or field condition comes up, call us directly.
Other stair suppliers
Figure out who owns the problem. Supplier, fabricator and installer may all have different responsibilities.
Self-perform
Every problem comes back to you. Missing part, bad measurement or callback—you handle it.
Responsibility
Snyder Stairs
You know exactly what we're handling. Clear scope, clear schedule and one point of contact.
Other stair suppliers
More moving pieces to manage. Scope depends on what each supplier is actually providing.
Self-perform
You own all of it. Ordering, labor, installation, punch-list items and callbacks stay in-house.

Family-owned & veteran-owned in Whitehall, PA since 1987 — two generations of stair specialists. If something loosens later, we come back and fix it.

Contractor FAQ
