Questions

Before you call.

Can any stairwell be moved?

Often, but it depends on the floor framing, the space available at the new location, and the building code rules for stairs. Send us a photo and tell us what you have in mind, and we'll tell you straight whether it's for us.

Do I need a permit or an engineer?

Usually. Moving a stairwell changes the floor framing, which typically needs a building permit from your city and structural plans. We take care of both as part of the job.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the layout, how many floors are involved, and the finish work. Quotes are free, and we give you a price once we've heard about the job.

How fast will I hear back?

The same day. Send the quote form, call, or text us a photo of the stairwell, and we'll get back to you the same day.

Which areas do you serve?

The Twin Cities metro, including Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs. Put your zip code in the quote form if you're not sure.
