Custom Stairs
There are many custom home builders in the Chicago area that work with some great high quality stair builders, but what separates DuBois Builders from the rest of these custom home builders is that we also have access to the same high quality local stair builders along with other craftsman that can transform what would be a a very nice staircase in your new home into a staircase that is truly one of a kind.
We have spent years building relationships with some of the best artists and craftsman that are able to truly create and customize your new staircase to give your custom home a one of a kind look.
Whether it is wood, metal, or glass stairs we will work with you to find the best craftsman to create the perfect staircase for your new home. If you are looking for a free hanging staircase, spiral staircase, or even a custom designed metal staircase that is also a work of art we have the craftsman that can get it done.
Below are a few details about creating a custom staircase and why you should work with us on your next remodeling or new construction project.
Balusters
Balusters are a key part to any staircase that should not be over looked. Whether you are wanting custom made wood balusters, hand forged brass and steel balusters, or even a custom designed laser cut balusters we have the craftsman that can get it done for you.
Handrails
Custom handrails can be designed in a variety of woods, brass, steel, and other metals to create the perfect look for your new staircase. Over the years we have worked with clients to create many different custom handrail designs. Several wood handrails that we have installed have featured custom wood or metal inlays, as well as leather wrapped handrails and newel posts.
Making New Stairs Look Old
We specialize in making new staircases look like they have been used within the home for years. We do this by hand shaping each tread to give it the appearance of wear from many years of people walking up and down them. This is just one more way of adding a little bit of character to your stairs.
Custom Stain and Paint Finishes
Not being satisfied with anything but the best finishes on our staircases DuBois Builders performs most stain and paint finishes on our staircases in house. We have spent years learning what products and techniques will give our customers the perfect finish on their new staircases, and by keeping this aspect of the building process in house it allows us to create custom mixed stains and paint finishes that are difficult to achieve by hiring this process out.
So if you are wanting to remodel your condo in Chicago or maybe thinking about building a new custom home in Oak Brook contact us here at DuBois Builders. We will sit down with you and help you design every aspect of your home including the stairs.
