Step 05

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.

Step 05 · Install on site (railings, treads) OR delivery (new stairs)

What happens during this step

  • RAILINGS, IRON SWAPS & TREAD REPLACEMENTS: Snyder installs on site, usually 1–3 days. An iron baluster swap is one day, very little mess.
  • NEW STAIRS: delivered ready to set — another trade sets the stair, we install the railing.
  • During the workday the stairs are out of bounds; they're safe and usable at night, so the home stays livable.
  • Expect some sawdust — we clean up before we leave.
  • If something loosens later, we come back and fix it.

Deliverables

  • Installed railing, swap, or treads — or a stair delivered ready to set.
  • Care guidance for the new stair.
  • Our word that if something loosens later, we'll come back and fix it.
Audience note

Homeowners: we install railings, swaps, and tread replacements; another trade sets a complete new stair. Builders and contractors: your crew sets the delivered stair, and we're on the phone if you need us.

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.
