This year we finished a very cool circular staircase in a beautiful home. Sometimes our clients themselves are builders and have done most of the work on either finding the builders, plumbers and all the other aspects that go into erecting a home, but look for other contractors for the parts (like stairs) that need help making their dream home complete. Here’s where we come in. We worked with our client who found us through our website, met up and went over the prints he had previously drawn up. Inspiration was gathered from a previous elliptical design we did. After some adjustments to the layout to make sure the stairs would fit the house properly, he made the selections based on the wood that was already selected for the flooring.
When I spoke with the owner he mentioned that he had spoken with a couple different companies and one had wanted to put a pillar in to help support an area of the balcony area of the landing, which the homeowner was eager to avoid. After seeing the house in person I can understand why. The open floor plan really leads the eye’s focus on the view. The stairs we designed for him helped complement this aesthetic, keeping the floor plan open using a steel piece to help secure the foundation. He took our recommendations on the balusters and newels, wanting something simple, leading the stairs to speak for themselves.
The stairs were built in-shop, delivered on-site and installed. Once the sheet rock was complete we got the go ahead on the railing install, (contractor: Steve McCullar) putting all the pieces together creating this beautifully unique and open staircase.
The Homeowner is pleased with the style, simplicity and elegance of the stairs and looks forward to utilizing the balcony area as a relaxing place to hang out and look out at the view this house provides over Lake Keowee.

Front stairs are white oak box newels with Aalto balusters turned upside down, complementing the eclectic artistic touch the home exudes. The down stairs design reflects the front, giving this home a clean look and atmosphere! #whiteoak #aaltobalusters #boxnewels
This is a commercial project we did for Spectrum ABA’s new location in Piedmont. Making sure our stairs are up to code in all environments is always a priority! #commercialstairs

Thank you @millerwelders for a great rebate opportunity on a product we love using! The guys are currently using the Maxstar 161 STL so the hat we received after our survey was modeled by Amelia! Thanks again for a great tool for our everyday needs in the metal shop!
