Stair Craftsmanship Built for McLean Homes

Many McLean homes were designed around the entry, with a two-story foyer and a staircase that sweeps up to an open balcony. That makes the stairs the focal point of the house, and it means dated spindles or a worn finish get noticed by everyone who walks in.

We specialize in exactly this kind of staircase. Curved and open-sided stairs need handrails bent to fit, balusters set at a consistent spacing around the turn, and tread returns finished on every exposed edge. Our in-house crew does all of it, from the first layout to the final coat of stain.

Before you commit, we can show you the new staircase in a photorealistic 3D rendering, so you can compare iron, wood, or glass railings and different stain colors against your actual foyer.

You get an itemized written proposal, premium hardwoods like white oak and walnut, and a five-year workmanship warranty on full projects.

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.

Planning Budget and Timing in McLean

A straightforward look at what to expect.
For a statement staircase, species and railing style drive the budget most. A new railing over refinished treads keeps costs down, while new treads plus railing run roughly double. Your proposal breaks out each option.
A standard railing installs in a day, and larger or curved stairs take up to two. With staining and paint, expect 4 to 5 days, or about 6 with new treads. We protect your foyer and clean up every afternoon.

McLean took shape in 1910 when Lewinsville and Langley merged around a stop on the Great Falls and Old Dominion line, and it has been building outward ever since. Today it holds mid-century houses, Beltway-era colonials with two-story foyers, and newer builds near the Silver Line. Families spend weekends at Clemyjontri Park and Great Falls Park, both covered on Visit Fairfax’s McLean guide, and because McLean is unincorporated, permits for structural work run through Fairfax County. In homes built around the entry, hiring the right stair contractor in McLean, VA changes how the whole house feels.
