  1. Floor Plans/Photos

  1. Design Inspiration

    Photos of design inspiration will help us to determine what style you are hoping to see included in your quote. These photos are also helpful to visualize what your new stairs or railings will look like in your own space.

  1. Flooring Type

    It is important to narrow down what type of flooring you will be using for your space as this will impact what wood species you will want to use for your stairs/railings. Typically, we would recommend going with the same wood species you are using for flooring so that it is easy to match when you go to stain. Contrasting the flooring with a darker stain is also an option, or paint grade materials.
