Stair Work for Every Kind of Falls Church Home

In the Little City, one street can hold three decades of construction. A 1940s colonial might have a steep, closed staircase with the original oak. A 1970s townhouse often has carpeted steps and thin wood spindles. A new build near Broad Street may have a railing that is already out of style.

We have spent 15 years working on all of them. Our in-house crew replaces railings and balusters, installs new hardwood treads and risers, and refinishes stairs that are worth saving, so you only deal with one company from start to finish.

Older staircases here often fall short of today’s safety rules, like balusters spaced too far apart or a handrail at the wrong height. We fix that as part of the job, so your stairs are safer for kids and guests.

Every project comes with transparent, itemized pricing and a five-year workmanship warranty when we handle the full job.

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.

Stair Questions From Falls Church Homeowners

Refinishing runs about $95 per step. A railing replacement on 5 to 8 steps starts around $3,000, and 9 to 15 steps runs $7,000 to $10,000. New treads plus a railing cost roughly double the railing-only price.
Many older staircases are not. Common problems are balusters spaced too far apart and handrails at the wrong height. We check during the estimate and correct them as part of the project.
Yes. We remove the carpet and old treads, install new solid hardwood treads and risers, and stain them to match your floors.
Usually replace it. Refinishing old spindles takes so much labor that it costs close to a new railing, and a new one gives you a modern, code-compliant result.
Yes. We clean up at the end of every workday and leave the staircase safe to walk on.

Falls Church separated from Fairfax County and became an independent city in 1948, and at just over two square miles it is one of the smallest in Virginia. That compact footprint holds wartime single-family neighborhoods, late-seventies townhouses, and the newest construction near Broad Street. The Little City puts a lot into a small area, including a farmers market and a restaurant scene covered by Visit Falls Church, and homeowners planning permitted work go through the City of Falls Church, which runs its own Building Safety Division. With so many eras side by side, a stair contractor in Falls Church, VA has to know every kind of staircase.
