1–3 days on site · or delivered to set
We install it — or deliver it ready to set.
What happens here depends on the project. We install railings, iron baluster swaps, and tread replacements ourselves, on site. A complete new staircase we deliver ready to set — another trade sets the stair, and we install the railing. During the day the stairs are out of bounds; they're safe and usable at night. Expect some sawdust. If something loosens later, we come back and fix it.

In short
What is the install & delivery step?
Install and delivery has two paths. Snyder crews install railings, iron baluster swaps, and tread replacements on site — usually one to three days. A complete new staircase is delivered ready to set: another trade sets the stair and Snyder installs the railing. Stairs are out of bounds during the workday and safe to use at night.

Install & Delivery FAQs
Common questions about the install & delivery step.
Q: Do you install the stair, or does someone else?
It depends on scope. We install railings, iron baluster swaps, and tread replacements ourselves. A complete new staircase we deliver ready to set — another trade sets the stair and we install the railing.
Q: How disruptive is the install?
Less than you'd think. Most railing and tread installs run 1–3 days; an iron baluster swap is a one-day job with very little mess. The stairs are out of bounds during the workday but safe to use at night, so the house stays livable. Expect some sawdust — we clean up before we go.
Q: What if something isn't right later?
If something loosens later, we come back and fix it. No fine print — call us and we'll take care of it.
