CAD for complex stairs
For complex or curved Bethlehem builds we draw the stair in CAD (not stamped) — plan/elevation/section — so the GC, homeowner, and shop all work from the same stair.

Built for Bethlehem
Custom Stairs that fits the homes here.
The transformation of the Bethlehem Steel site into SteelStacks drove a wave of south-side new construction — lofts, townhomes, and single-families that favor clean transitional design. That's where most Bethlehem custom-stair work originates; the north-side Historic District leans toward restoration instead. The Caruso's two-tone box stair is our transitional benchmark for these builds.

Custom Stairs in Bethlehem — your questions, answered.
How much does a custom staircase cost in Bethlehem?
Custom stairs start from about $2,500 for an entry-level run and climb with complexity — a grand curved or estate stair in a larger Bethlehem home runs $20,000 to $70,000 and beyond. Species, balcony runs, and carved or mixed-material detail drive it. That's a range to set expectations, not a quote — we confirm firm after design.
What custom stair style fits a Bethlehem SteelStacks home?
A transitional stair: box newels with flat-panel detail, square iron balusters in satin black or bronze, painted risers, and stained white-oak or maple treads. It matches the industrial-residential character and open floor plans of the south-side developments.
How long does it take to build a custom stair for a Bethlehem home?
About six to sixteen weeks from final design to install. A straight transitional new-build run is on the shorter end; a two-tone box stair with a balcony run like our Caruso project takes longer in the shop before it ships finished.
Do you work with Bethlehem builders on new construction stairs?
Yes. Bring us in at framing on a SteelStacks-area new build so we can verify rough stair dimensions before drywall. For complex builds we provide CAD drawings (not stamped) and a crated, finished stair for your crew.
Can you build a custom stair that suits a historic Bethlehem home?
Yes — for a Historic District home we lean toward period-correct profiles and traditional joinery, and we can match or complement existing millwork. Often, though, a historic home is better served by restoration than a full new stair; we'll tell you which fits.
