Stair Contractor in Arlington, VA
Why Arlington Homeowners Call Us for Stair Work
Arlington packs a century of building into a small county, and the staircases show it. Pre-war houses tend to have narrow boxed stairs with tired oak under old carpet. The townhomes and newer builds near Clarendon and Ballston often came with builder-grade railings that were never meant to be the showpiece of the entry.
We fix both. Our crew replaces railings, balusters, and newel posts, installs new hardwood treads and risers, and sands, stains, and seals what is worth keeping. There is no subcontractor in the middle, so the person who measures your stairs is part of the team that builds them.
Townhome stairs are often three flights stacked on top of each other, and they are the only way up. We plan the work flight by flight so the stairs are safe to use every night, and we bring guards and handrails up to current code as part of the job.
Every quote is fully itemized in writing, and full projects carry our five-year workmanship warranty.
- Multi-level townhome stairs, done flight by flight
- Builder-grade railings replaced for good
- Modern metal and horizontal railing options
- Pre-war oak treads saved when they can be
- Five-year workmanship warranty
- Written, itemized pricing up front

Carlos and his team were great. Used him in one of my new build homes and he exceeded my expectations. The job went perfectly just as discussed and I will be using these guys going forward on future projects.
We actually are already working on the next one. Will post photos once my part of the work is done. Thank you Carlos

Carlos, Enrique and team did a wonderful job building a new staircase and resurfacing my floors. They worked around my schedule to make the process as convenient as possible.
They provided daily status updates and their team kept the mess to a minimum. I Highly recommend them.
