Stair Services in Portland
One Portland shop, seven ways to fix, build, or upgrade a staircase, every one of them backed by in-house wood and steel fabrication.
What Our Stair Contractors Handle in Portland
Whether you're comparing stair contractors around Portland or you already found us by name, here's what each service covers and who it's for.
Custom Stair Design & Build
A new staircase designed around your home and built in-house: wood, steel, or both. See custom staircase design & build for our process and what shapes the price.
Stair Replacement
Our highest-demand service: full staircase replacement when repair won't cut it anymore. See stair replacement in Portland for the signs it's time and what it costs.
Stair Repair
Fixing squeaks, loose rails, and cracked treads on stairs you already have, without a full rebuild. See stair repair for what we fix most often.
Stair Installation
Fitting a new staircase (stringers, treads, risers, railings) into new construction or an addition. See new stair installation for our timeline.
Stair Railings & Handrails
Wood, cable, or welded steel railings, retrofit onto existing stairs or built into a new staircase. See stair railing installation for materials and cost factors.
Staircase Remodeling
Refinishing, restaining, or rebuilding a structurally sound staircase without a full replacement. See staircase remodel for what's included.
Commercial Stairs
Code-compliant stairs and railings for offices, retail, multifamily, and light industrial buildings. See commercial stairs for how we work with GCs and property owners.
What Stumptown Charges — At a Glance
Every service above is quoted the same way: no free phone estimates, no flat price list. A paid site visit produces a firm number for your project: a real on-site estimate, not a sales pitch. Want a planning range before the visit? The stair cost calculator runs on Dave's own pricing rules — but every number it gives is provisional until Dave has measured your stairs on site and approved the scope. Pricing sits at the premium end of the Portland market; it reflects in-house fabrication, not a markup for its own sake.
What You Get Hiring Stumptown as Your Stair Contractor
Search for a staircase company near you in Portland and you'll find plenty of shops that do wood or metal. Stumptown Stairs does both, fine woodworking and welded steel fabrication, licensed under CCB #218207, with no subcontracted labor on either trade. That's the difference between Stumptown Stairs and a lead-gen brand: one shop, one crew, every service here built in-house.
Choosing the Right Stair Service
How do I know which service I need?
Match the symptom to the service: cosmetic wear calls for staircase repair or staircase remodeling; structural failure means stair replacement; no stairs there yet, or a full addition, means custom stairs or stair installation.
Do you offer free estimates?
A free ballpark is available by FaceTime or text with photos. For a firm number, we use a paid site visit instead of a phone estimate, since a stair project has too many variables to price accurately without seeing it in person.
What's the difference between stair repair and stair replacement?
Repair fixes stairs that are otherwise sound; replacement starts over when the structure has failed or you want a different staircase entirely. If you're not sure which side of that line you're on, our repair or replace your stairs guide walks through the full decision.
Do you work outside Portland proper?
We serve the greater Portland metro, not just the city itself. See our service area for the full list of cities and communities we build in.
