Which areas around Portland do you serve?
The whole metro and beyond, from the inner neighborhoods out to Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Happy Valley, and across the river to Vancouver.
Which material suits an open-riser or floating staircase?
Glass and cable both work well, since neither blocks the gap between treads that makes the stair look floating. Slim metal balusters are the third option when you want a stronger vertical line.
Do we have to replace the whole staircase?
No. Treads, stringers, and the structure stay put. We remove the old railing and install the new one on the existing stair, which is why a railing swap changes the look of the entry without a full staircase remodel.
Can you match the original railing in a historic Portland home?
Yes. We reproduce picket profiles, newel details, and finishes so a new balustrade reads as original rather than added on. It is regular work in Irvington, Laurelhurst, and the other historic eastside neighborhoods.
Can you build a railing for a curved or switchback staircase?
Yes, and it is common work here. Curved runs and switchbacks are exactly where a stock system fails, because the geometry never matches a standard part. We measure the flight as built and fabricate the railing to that radius or turn.
