Design details
- Statement staircase remake — roughly 16 risers + landing
- An entry stair hall remade as modern classic: solid white oak treads with crisp square nosings over painted white risers, slim matte black square-profile metal balusters at even spacing, and a continuous white oak handrail that sweeps the landing turn without a break. Full-height applied paneling climbs the stair wall in clean warm-white rectangles, washed by small aged brass downlights, with daylight spilling from a tall black-framed window at the landing. Wide-plank oak grounds the hall below. The intent is a first impression that reads bespoke — geometry, oak, and light.

Illustrative allocation of the overall planning allowance across trades; these are not independently verified trade quotes. Site-specific costs may exceed these allowances.
Project assumptions
- Existing stringers sound and to code — verified on site
- Baluster spacing built to current guard code
- Landing window existing; no window work included
- Roughly 16 risers with one landing turn
Options
- Keep sound existing components where compatible.
- Compare stock, semi-custom and custom selections before ordering.
- Confirm samples in the room’s natural light.
Trades & site requirements
- Carpentry and finish installation; confirm any specialist trade needs on site.
- Check access, working clearances, occupied-home protection, waste removal and delivery space.
- Check substrate condition, moisture and concealed services before installation.
Permits & engineering
- Structural capacity, setbacks, drainage, utility capacity and any required engineering remain unverified. Do not treat the concept as a construction drawing.
- Confirm anchoring, concealed wiring and applicable fire-clearance requirements.
Sequence & duration
- Measure and inspect → confirm scope and selections → check approvals → order materials → protect the site → install → inspect and finish.
- 1–4 weeks
- Installation window excludes design, approvals, fabrication lead times and unforeseen repairs.
Estimate basis & inclusions
- $3,075–$10,050
- Adjusted sample planning allowance. Feasibility at this budget has not been verified against current supplier and trade quotes.
- Covers only the stated quantities and installation scope; decorative objects and adjacent rooms are not included.
- Site condition, access, material choice, waste, permit requirements and concealed damage can change the written quote.
Exclusions & unknowns
- Exact product selection and current availability are unknown.
- Concealed damage, structural repair and utility relocation are excluded unless explicitly scoped.
- Permit and engineering fees, taxes and contingency require confirmation; they are not guaranteed included.
- Furniture, styling and loose appliances are excluded unless explicitly listed.
Care & maintenance
- Clean with manufacturer-approved products; protect finishes from standing water, heat and abrasion.
- Final maintenance instructions depend on the products selected.
Next steps
- Save the concept and note what you want to keep or change.
- Bring room dimensions and existing-condition photos to a walkthrough.
- Confirm a written scope, selections, permit needs and site-specific quote before work.
