SNYDERSTAIRS
Our Process

From first photos to handoff.

Snyder runs the same five steps on every project — homeowner remodel, builder new-construction, designer custom build. Our own crew measures, designs, and fabricates; we install railings, swaps, and tread replacements, and deliver a complete new stair ready to set. Below: what each step produces and how long it takes.

    Step 01

    Same day, free

    Photos & a Real Budget

    Most projects start with a phone call, not a site visit. Send a few photos of your stair and your town, and we come back the same day with a real budget range over the phone.

  2. Choosing wood species, baluster pattern, and finish samples — process illustration
    Step 02

    A few days

    Selection & Written Quote

    Once the budget works, we help you choose wood species, baluster pattern, and finish to match your home — then you get a written quote with the scope spelled out.

  3. Field-measuring a staircase during the site visit — process illustration
    Step 03

    About 1 hour, when needed

    Site Measure

    When a project needs it, we measure the rough opening, headroom, and floor heights in person; complex, curved, or custom stairs get a CAD drawing to approve before anything is cut.

  4. Cutting and fitting stair parts on the shop floor — process illustration
    Step 04

    4–6 weeks (8–12 for curved)

    Shop-Floor Fabrication

    The stair comes together on our Whitehall shop floor — cut to your run, tread returns added, fittings coped, sourced parts brought together and assembled. We deliver unfinished, so the finish matches your floors on site.

  5. Installing a railing on site — process illustration
    Step 05

    1–3 days on site · or delivered to set

    Install & Delivery

    We install railings, iron baluster swaps, and tread replacements ourselves, on site. A complete new staircase we deliver ready to set — another trade sets it, and we install the railing.

Step 01 · The first call

It starts with a few photos — not a sales visit.

Most projects begin with a phone call, not a site visit. Send a few photos of your stair and your town, and we come back the same day with a real budget range over the phone — no sales meeting, no pressure. We'll even tell you what doesn't need doing, so you only spend where it counts.

Send a few photos, we'll take it from there.

Three photos of your stair and your town — that's all we need to talk through what's possible, and put a real budget range on it, usually the same day.
