Stairs and Accessories FAQ
Q: What measurement should I provide when ordering custom stairs and accessories?
A: For custom stair projects, you'll need to provide: the total rise (vertical height from floor to floor), total run (horizontal distance), available space dimensions, ceiling height at stairs location, and doorway locations near the stair area. Our specialists can help determine all necessary measurements if needed.
Q: How often should I inspect my stairs and accessories for safety?
A: We recommend quarterly inspections for residential stairs and monthly for high-traffic commercial applications. Check for: loose balusters or handrails, worn treads, squeaking noises (indicating loose components), and any visible cracks or structural damage. Proper maintenance extends the life of your stairs and accessories significantly.
