If you are thinking about starting a renovation or new build project, it can be very overwhelming! We have put together a list of items we feel are helpful for customers to have ready to utilize throughout the process.

1. Plans/Photos of Existing Stairs & Railings

By providing us with architectural drawings, or photos of your existing stairs/railings, we can base your budgetary estimate off of the size and layout of your space. This ensures that we are able to get you an accurate quote based on the dimensions of your project.

2. Design Inspiration

Whether it is a sample photo from our Instagram, or something else that you have come across, design inspiration photos are helpful to narrow down what style you would like to see included in your quote. If you have more than one idea in mind, we are always happy to explain the differences between designs, including any costs associated with different design profiles.

3. Flooring

It is important to consider what flooring you will be using for your project when you are thinking about stairs and railings. We often recommend going with the same wood species that you will be using for your flooring so that it is easiest to match the finish on your stairs/railings when you go to stain.

Based on the above information, we should be able to get you a budgetary estimate for your project. Making decisions for a renovation or new build project can be very daunting, but we are here to walk you through the process and provide as much assistance as possible!

Cheers,

The Stairhaus Team

If you’re beginning or even just thinking about beginning your stair & railing project here are a few tips and things to think about when getting started that help us to provide you with the best estimate we can!

Timeline – Plan ahead! There can be lots of details to consider when it comes to selecting the style, design and material that will work best for your space – it is always best to give yourself time to think about these details and make your selections. Planning ahead also ensures that we have enough time to measure and build so we can do our best to work within your preferred timeline.
Pictures, Plans & Drawings – Sending us any pictures, plans or drawings that you have access to for your project is the best place to start in order for us to put together your budgetary estimate. This gives us a clear idea of the space we are working with and what your options are so we can then factor all necessary detail into your estimate.
Inspiration – Sending us photos – whether it be on our gallery or other social media platforms – that you feel capture the style/design you’re aiming for is very helpful. This ensures that we are on the same page as far as what you envision for the final product so we can better know what options to suggest.
Selections – In order to finalize the details of your quote we will need to confirm the style of your stairs, handrail profile, post and guard style, wood species and hardware finishes. It may sound like a lot but of course we are happy to walk you through these selections and assist in making these decisions. Step 3 is definitely helpful in determining these details.
Quote – Based on steps 2-4 we should be able to get a budgetary estimate to you. Once you’ve had a chance to take a look through if you decide you’d like to move forward with us we just need to process a deposit. After the deposit is received all that’s left to do is schedule your measurements, move forward with production and work toward your installation!
