Builder-grade stairsmatch the catalog,not your home.

Plan on 4–6 weeks of shop time for a standard straight stair and 8–12 weeks for custom or curved work — measuring, building the treads and stringers, and fitting the rail and sourced parts. The on-site work is short by comparison, usually 1–3 days, because the stair arrives crated and ready. We lock your window with the deposit and build to it.

Custom stairs start around $2,500 and climb with species, profile, and configuration; a grand curved or floating sweep in premium wood runs $20K–$70K. Iron balusters, carved newels, and brass nosings each move the number. Call (610) 443-2240 with rough dimensions and we'll put you in a real range in 5–10 minutes — a ballpark to budget with, not a bid. We'll also tell you where you don't need to spend, so you only spend where it counts.

Depends on the build — species, profile, configuration, finish. Most work runs four to six weeks in the shop; custom newel posts and heavy detail run eight to twelve. Curved walnut takes longer than straight box. On-site work is then 1–3 days. We build the whole stair right here in Whitehall, so we control the schedule. Call us with your specs and we'll talk through realistic timing on the phone.

Less than people fear. The build happens in our shop, so your house stays normal for those weeks. On site — 1–3 days to deliver the stair and install the railing — the staircase is the only off-limits zone during the workday; we paper the floors, contain the dust, and you sleep in the house every night. The crew that measured carries the project through, so there's no handoff and no surprises.

Yes, on the builds that need them — curved, circular, floating, and other complex or fully custom stairs get a CAD drawing (plan, elevation, sections) so everyone's working from the same dimensions. A straight box stair usually doesn't need one. The drawings aren't engineer-stamped, and we don't do 3D renders yet. For designer and architect projects we'll coordinate with your set.

The crew that built your stair is the crew that comes back if something doesn't sit right — if something loosens later, we come back and fix it. You can call us anytime. We've been doing this since 1987 — call (610) 443-2240 and you'll get someone who knows your project.

Yes — we match by species. White oak, red oak, poplar, and hickory are the popular ones, with walnut, cherry, maple, and about a dozen total on request. Stop by the Whitehall showroom to see samples and we'll match the rail, treads, and parts to your floors and trim. We deliver unfinished so your finisher can color it to the room.

Yes. Every Snyder staircase ships with code-compliant tread depth, riser height, and rail-graspability dimensions, and complex builds get a CAD drawing your GC or inspector can work from. Permits run through your GC or township as usual — we build to what the drawings and code require.

Trade pricing — real contractor rates we share on the project call. No public price list, no account signup, no application form. Repeat builders get priority scheduling. Call (610) 443-2240 with your build specs and we'll put a number to it.
