While we build
How we protect your home while we work.
Dust stays in the work zone
Plastic containment walls and sealed vents keep the rest of the house livable during demo and sanding.
The same crew, every day
One in-house team from demo to final walkthrough. You learn our names, no rotating subcontractors in your home.
Clean end to every day
Tools stored, site swept, walkways clear. You should never dread coming home during a remodel.
Licensed and insured on every job
Full licensing and insurance certificates shown before work starts, not after you ask twice.
Nothing is done until you agree it is
A final walkthrough together, punch list closed out, and a 2-Year Workmanship Warranty in writing.

Your first step
What happens after you reach out.
-
You reach out
Send the form or call (224) 284-4533. A real person from the crew - not a call center - gets back to you within one business day.
-
Free in-home visit
We walk the space together, take measurements and talk through what you actually want. No fees, no pressure, no obligation.
-
Written estimate in 48 hours
A detailed, itemized estimate in writing within 48 hours of the visit - so you can compare it line by line against any other bid.
-
You decide on your own time
No follow-up hammering, no expiring discounts. When you are ready, the same in-house crew that quoted it builds it - backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty.
Before you ask
Five questions every hallway client asks first.
Plain answers — the kind we'd give a neighbor over coffee, not the ones written for a brochure.
Have a different question? Ask during your free estimate →-
How much does a staircase renovation cost?
A railing and tread refresh is a very different project from a full structural rebuild or relocation, so we price it in person: you get an itemized written estimate within 48 hours of the free visit. Either way the number is fixed in writing before we start.
-
How long does it take?
A railing and tread update usually runs 1–2 weeks; a full staircase rebuild or relocation 2–4 weeks with engineering and inspection. Written schedule before we start, as always.
-
Can we still use the stairs during the work?
Yes — we sequence the work so the staircase is safely usable every evening. If a full rebuild requires a short closure, you'll know the exact days in advance.
-
Are the railings custom or from a catalog?
Built in-house. Our carpenters design, cut and finish railings to your staircase — geometric oak panels, iron spindles, glass, whatever the design calls for. That's why no two of our staircases look alike.
-
Can you fix squeaky stairs while you're at it?
Yes — squeaks are structure, not age. While the treads are open we re-fasten stringers and subfloor so the staircase is quiet again, and stays that way.
