Your Path to a Masterpiece:
Our 5-Step Consulting Process
At West Coast Stair Co., we treat every staircase as a unique structural work of art. To ensure your vision is realized with the precision it deserves, we follow a refined process to move from concept to custom fabrication.
1. Initial Discovery & Vision
The process begins with a conversation about your aesthetic goals. Whether you are looking for a modern architectural statement or a classic traditional banister, we want to understand your style.
-
What to consider: Do you have a specific architectural style in mind (e.g., Contemporary, Craftsman, or Curved)?
-
Existing Inspiration: We encourage you to share photos of other projects or design styles that resonate with you.
2. Project Documentation & Plans
To provide an accurate estimate, we review any available technical documents.
-
New Construction: Do you have existing architectural drawings or CAD plans? If so, these allow us to analyze structural requirements early on.
-
Remodels: If plans aren't available, don't worry. We specialize in custom fabrication and can work with you to develop the necessary specifications.
3. Site Context & Evaluation
We need to understand the physical space where the masterpiece will live.
-
Visualizing the Space: We ask for photos of the existing area or the current "framed-in" stage of the build.
-
Identifying Challenges: This helps our artisans identify any unique structural needs or opportunities for innovation before we begin fabrication in our shop.
4. Material & Detail Selection
Once we understand the scope, we dive into the fine details that define our work.
-
Curated Materials: We discuss wood species, handrail profiles, and baluster styles.
-
Sustainability: We can also discuss incorporating reclaimed lumber or zero-VOC products to ensure your project is environmentally friendly.
