Stair Remodel inBethlehem, PA.
A stair remodel updates the whole staircase — treads, balusters, handrail, and newel — to match a renovated Bethlehem home, instead of replacing parts one at a time. We refinish what's sound and replace what isn't, so a dated north-side row-house or south-side foyer reads current with the rest of the house.

Built for Bethlehem
Stair Remodel that fits the homes here.
Bethlehem homes span Moravian-era row houses and SteelStacks-era new builds, and both reach a point where new floors, paint, and lighting leave the stair as the last dated element. A remodel restores the sound parts and replaces the rest. The Faucett before-and-after — same footprint, completely transformed — is the move for Bethlehem foyers caught mid-renovation.

Stair Remodel in Bethlehem — your questions, answered.
What does a stair remodel include in a Bethlehem 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, finished to match your renovated Bethlehem interior.
Is a stair remodel cheaper than a new staircase in Bethlehem?
Usually. Many Bethlehem stairs — especially Historic District row houses with solid period parts — have sound framing we can reuse. A remodel keeps that structure, so it costs less than a from-the-floor new build.
Can a stair remodel respect the character of a historic Bethlehem home?
Yes — that's central to how we work north-side homes. We refinish and match period profiles rather than replace them wholesale, and only swap parts that are genuinely beyond saving, so the remodel reads as a careful update, not a gut.
Can you match a remodel to a SteelStacks renovation?
Yes. We set tread stain, handrail finish, and newel profile to your new floors, trim, and wall color so the stair finishes a south-side renovation cleanly rather than dating it.
How disruptive is a stair remodel in an occupied Bethlehem home?
We keep it minimal — parts are built and finished in our Whitehall shop and on-site work is scheduled in tight windows, so you keep using the rest of the house while the foyer is updated.
