Unsafe & Out of Code:
Staircase Overhaul
Completed 2026
PROJECT TYPE
Staircase reconstruction
CHALLENGE
Code violations & safety hazards
SOLUTION
Complete staircase rebuild
RESULT
Safe, code-compliant access
Before & After
Exisiting Conditions
The existing staircase appeared functional but contained multiple structural and code deficiencies. Undersized stringers, inconsistent stair dimensions, and inadequate support created both safety concerns and long-term reliability issues.
Our Assessment
A detailed inspection revealed stair treads below minimum code requirements, riser heights that varied throughout the staircase, and insufficient structural support beneath the flight. The cumulative effect created a serious tripping hazard and a staircase that failed to meet modern residential standards.
The Solution
We removed the existing staircase and rebuilt it using properly sized structural members and a center stringer for additional support. Every tread and riser was carefully recalculated and installed to provide consistent dimensions throughout the entire staircase.
Project Outcomes
The homeowner now has a staircase that is safe, structurally sound, and built to current code requirements. Consistent tread depths, uniform riser heights, and proper support provide reliable access and peace of mind for years to come.
Construction Details
Existing staircase completely removed and rebuilt
Properly sized structural stringers installed
Uniform riser heights maintained throughout
Code-compliant tread depth achieved
Structural connections reinforced throughout
Stair geometry recalculated for consistent footing
Built to current residential code standards
Why This Matters
Many staircase problems aren't obvious until measurements are taken.
Uneven risers, undersized framing, and improper stair geometry can create daily safety risks. Rebuilding the staircase correctly ensures consistent footing, reliable structural support, and confidence every time the stairs are used.
