Quoting Steps- Start to Finish 

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase" Martin Luther King Jr. 
Whether you are planning a renovation to your existing stairs and/or railings or starting from scratch, taking the proper steps to bringing your stair vision to life will save you time, money and headaches
As soon as you decide to renovate or build, please contact us via email at info@stairhaus.com. By starting the design process early, you leave ample time to coordinate with yourself, builders and planners. It is a lot easier to create your dream stairs and meet expectations if you reach out to us as soon as possible.
Quoting Process:
If you are completing a renovation, please include in your email any pictures of your current stairs and railings as well as any inspiration pictures. If you don’t have inspiration pictures, feel free to check out our Instagram @stairhaus_inc and website for ideas and include them in your email.
If it is a new build, kindly include floor plans and pictures you have found for your new set of stairs and/ or railings. You will also want to include the flooring type (wood or tile) including the type of wood.
For any project (renovation or a new build) including the location of the project and your timeline is of great importance. 
It is also important to note specific design interests in your email. The more information provided the easier it will be for us to execute.
Once we receive your email one of our dedicated team members will review your request, discuss with you and provide you with a budgetary estimate. If you would like to move forward with the project a deposit is required to secure a place in our installation queue. Once we have a deposit on file, we will schedule a time for an onsite measure to confirm our quote. Shop drawings or renderings will also be provided for your final review and approval. We will also provide you with a timeframe for installation and contact you in advance to ensure your project is still on track. Final payment is due upon completion of your installation.

DESIGN FEATURE - FLOATING STAIRS

Cantilevered stairs, often referred to as "floating stairs", create a statement piece in any design!

Cantilevered stairs are created by installing a hidden steel stringer. The treads are then fastened to this system giving the effect of a "floating" appearance. Cantilevered steel stairs are extremely durable, safe, and a add a high end finish to any design!

When installed with a glass guard, these stairs create an open, airy, and modern aesthetic to add to your design.

Check out our social media for more photos of these sick stairs!

BUDGETARY ESTIMATES

Starting a renovation or new build project can be very overwhelming! There are many decisions to make which effect both the budget and design of your project. We have included some tips below to help ensure a seamless process when reaching out for stair/railing estimates.

  1. Floor Plans/Photos

    It is important to have a copy of your floor plans or photos of your current space. This way we can base a budgetary estimate off of the size and layout of your project.

  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.

  1. Budget

    It is important to keep your budget in mind when thinking of renovating your stairs/railings. There are many options to fit all price ranges; However, it is important to consider what will work best for your space and budget.

  1. Timelines

    Planning for your stair/railing project well in advance is a great way to keep your project on track. This allows for the appropriate time to confirm designs and ensure that your stairs and railings are installed relative your desired time frame.

HOLIDAY HOURS - LABOUR DAY

TIMELINES

Whether you are working on a renovation or a new build project, it is crucial to remember to plan ahead!

As the industry continues to be busier than ever before, lead times are an important factor to consider. By leaving enough time for proper design, planning, and construction, it is much easier to ensure a seamless process.

If you are working on a renovation or new build, please feel free to reach out to us for a quote for your new stairs and/or railings as soon as possible!

Cheers,

The Stairhaus Team

DESIGN FEATURE - GUARD WALLS

Stairs with guard walls are some of the most unique and custom projects we take on.

Guard walls turn a staircase into a conversation piece. They can be built in paint or stain grade materials and can be used to contrast the stairs themselves. These designs turn stairs into a focal point and a piece of art in any space.

Lead Times & Material Costs

We are so fortunate to have continued to stay so busy despite the adversities we have all faced this past year. However, we have experienced some major changes that have affected our lead times and material costs. It’s no secret that the cost and demand for construction materials across the board has increased significantly in the last several months; along with material shortages & delays, we have seen Lumber increase by 23%, Glass increase by 18% and Steel increase by 15% all since January 1st, 2021. We have done our best to absorb these increases for as long as possible, but have reached a point where we can no longer continue to do this. As a result, we will be adjusting our pricing to reflect these increases.

As always, we aim to be fair & honest with our customers and we appreciate your patience with us as we navigate these challenges and do our best to keep things running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
