Your staircase is more than a pathway between floors — it’s a key architectural element that defines the flow, safety, and style of your home. Whether you need a brand-new stair installation, an upgrade to your existing staircase, or a full stair remodel, Mr. Contractor provides expert craftsmanship and personalized design to enhance both form and function. Serving Philadelphia and Bucks County since 1949, we bring decades of experience to every project, helping homeowners reimagine their spaces one step at a time.
Over time, staircases can become outdated, worn, or even unsafe. Loose treads, creaky steps, or poor lighting aren’t just annoying — they can also pose serious risks. Remodeling your stairs or having new ones built gives you the chance to not only refresh your interior but also improve accessibility, safety, and style.
Common reasons to consider stair remodeling include:
Outdated or unattractive railings and finishes
Squeaky or unstable steps
Inadequate lighting or visual appeal
The need for safer or wider treads for mobility
Wanting to open up or modernize a closed-in staircase
At Mr. Contractor, we specialize in stair solutions that combine durability, beauty, and code compliance — so you can enjoy peace of mind and a stylish home.
Whether you’re adding a staircase in a new addition or updating a central stairway in your existing home, Mr. Contractor provides start-to-finish services. We handle everything from design and framing to finish carpentry and trim work.
Our stair services include:
New stair construction
Custom wood stairs and railings
Stair refinishing and restoration
Handrail and baluster replacement
Tread and riser repair or replacement
Attic and basement stair upgrades
Open and closed stair design options
We can build traditional staircases, modern open-riser styles, curved designs, or space-saving configurations based on your layout and aesthetic preferences.
One of the most important aspects of stair construction is making sure your stairs are built to meet local building codes. Mr. Contractor ensures that every staircase we install is safe, stable, and properly measured for height, width, rise, and run.
We also take extra care to incorporate features that enhance both safety and comfort, such as:
Proper tread depth and riser height
Smooth, continuous handrails
Non-slip tread options
Sufficient headroom and lighting
Especially in older homes throughout Philadelphia, we often update stairs that no longer meet modern standards — improving safety for families of all ages.
Sometimes, a staircase doesn’t need to be completely replaced — just reimagined. Mr. Contractor can remodel your existing stairs by replacing or refinishing the treads, upgrading the handrail system, or changing out the balusters and newel posts to give your staircase a fresh new identity.
Popular options for staircase upgrades include:
Hardwood stair conversions
White risers with stained treads
Cable or metal railing installations
Painted spindles and posts
Modern glass or iron accents
We work with a wide range of styles, from classic colonial to contemporary minimalist, to make sure your updated stairs complement the rest of your home.
Many homes have attics or basements that are underutilized due to poorly designed or hard-to-navigate stairs. Mr. Contractor specializes in installing new access stairways or improving steep, narrow stairs in older homes.
We can provide:
Full attic stair installations
Fold-down or permanent stair systems
Basement stair expansions or rebuilds
Enclosed or open basement entryways
These upgrades make your secondary living spaces more accessible and add value by increasing usable square footage.
Your staircase should reflect your personal style and home design. Mr. Contractor offers a wide range of custom materials and finishes to help you create a look that stands out or blends seamlessly with your current aesthetic.
Available materials and finishes include:
Hardwood (oak, maple, walnut, etc.)
Painted or stained finishes
Iron or wood balusters
Glass railing panels
Modern steel elements
Decorative trim and molding options
We also offer custom woodworking and millwork services for homeowners looking to create a truly unique staircase centerpiece.
