Custom Stair Installation & Staircase Remodeling by Mr. Contractor

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.

Why Upgrade Your Stairs?

Over time, staircases can become outdated, worn, or even unsafe.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• Outdated or unattractive railings and finishes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.

Full-Service Stair Installation & Renovation

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.

Safe and Code-Compliant Stair Design

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.

Staircase Remodeling for a New Look

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.

Attic and Basement Stair Solutions

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.

Custom Materials and Finish Options

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.
