A stair remodel updates the whole staircase — treads, balusters, handrail, and newel — to match a renovated Allentown home, instead of replacing parts one at a time. We refinish what's structurally sound and replace what isn't, so a dated West End or South Side foyer reads current with the rest of the house.

Built for Allentown
Stair Remodel that fits the homes here.
Allentown's older West End neighborhoods are full of homes with original 1920s oak stair parts that are solid but worn — perfect candidates for a remodel that restores and supplements rather than rips out. New floors, paint, and lighting leave the stair as the last dated element.
Stair remodel — full service detailWhat we do here
Stair Remodel for Allentown homes — what's involved.
Treads, balusters, rail together
We coordinate the whole package — refinished or new treads, updated balusters, a fresh handrail profile — so it reads as one renovation.
Matched to your reno
Species and profiles are chosen to work with your new floors, trim, and paint, and the parts are delivered unfinished so your finisher can match the stain.
Lives in the home, not a shop
We schedule around an occupied Allentown house and keep the dusty work off your stairs by building and finishing parts in Whitehall.

Questions about stair remodel in Allentown.
What does a stair remodel include in an Allentown home?
A full remodel coordinates treads, risers, balusters, handrail, and newel into one updated package — refinishing the parts that are sound and replacing the parts that aren't, matched to your renovated Allentown interior.
Is a stair remodel cheaper than building a new staircase in Allentown?
Usually, yes. Many Allentown stairs — especially older West End homes with solid oak parts — have sound framing and components we can refinish and supplement. A remodel reuses that structure, so it costs less than a from-the-floor new build.
Can you remodel a stair to match new floors and paint in my Allentown home?
Yes — matching the reno is the whole point. We match tread species, handrail profile, and newel profile to your new floors, trim, and wall color so the stair finishes the renovation rather than dating it.
Can you keep the original 1920s oak parts in a West End Allentown stair?
Often. Solid white-oak newels and handrails from that era are better material than most new stock. If a part is plumb and sound we refinish, re-cap, or splice it; only damaged pieces get matched and replaced.
How disruptive is a stair remodel in an occupied Allentown home?
We minimize it. Parts are built and fit in our Whitehall shop and we schedule the on-site work in tight windows, so you keep using the rest of the house while the foyer is updated.
