Built for Allentown
Custom Stairs that fits the homes here.
Allentown's outer-ward new construction is where most custom-stair calls originate — builders and GCs bring us in at framing to spec and install a complete system from the subfloor up. For larger West End homes where the foyer is the focal point, an over-the-post curved stair earns the room.

Custom Stairs for Allentown homes — what's involved.
Cut and fit in our shop
Stringers and parts are cut to fit, then the volutes, newels, and handrail transitions are fit and assembled in our Whitehall shop before delivery.
Coordinated with your builder
We verify rough framing before drywall on Lehigh Parkway / Springhouse new builds so the finished stair lands clean and on schedule.
Crated delivery
The stair arrives crated for the GC's crew — fast, clean install in an active Allentown jobsite.

Questions about custom stairs in Allentown.
How much does a custom staircase cost in Allentown?
Custom stairs start from about $2,500 for an entry-level run and climb with complexity — a grand curved or floating stair in a larger Allentown home runs $20,000 to $70,000 and beyond. Species, balcony runs, and carved newels are the big drivers. That's a range to set expectations, not a quote — we confirm firm after design.
How long does it take to build a custom stair for an Allentown home?
About six to sixteen weeks from final design to install, depending on complexity. A straight new-build run is on the shorter end; a curved over-the-post stair like our Rambo project takes twelve-plus weeks of shop time before it ships.
Do you work with Allentown builders on new-construction stairs?
Yes — that's most of our custom work in Allentown's outer wards. Bring us in at framing so we can verify rough stair dimensions before drywall. For complex or curved stairs we provide CAD drawings (not stamped) and a crated stair for your crew.
Can you build a curved or floating staircase in Allentown?
Yes. We laminate curved stringers on shop jigs and carve the volute and over-the-post transitions, and we build open-riser floating runs with hidden steel. Both are bid-by-design — we measure, draw, and confirm a firm price.
Will I get drawings before you build my Allentown custom stair?
For complex or curved builds, yes — we draw the stair in CAD (plan, elevation, section; not stamped) so you and your builder approve the exact stair before a board is cut. Simpler runs we confirm from the site measure.
