Our Mission Statement
At West Coast Stair Co., we endeavor to build a legacy of fine woodworking by creating custom staircases that truly stand the test of time. Since our founding in 1980, we have remained dedicated to the core values of function, creativity, and uncompromising quality in every hand-crafted detail.
In our ongoing effort to protect the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, we prioritize environmentally conscious practices by utilizing reclaimed lumber and non-toxic, zero-VOC products whenever possible. We believe a great company is defined by its impact; therefore, we routinely give back to our local community through donations, education, and dedicated service. Every project we undertake is more than just a staircase—it is a commitment to excellence for our clients and a sustainable future for our environment.
Meet the Master Craftsman Behind West Coast Stair Co.
Jim Pittman, the owner and founder of West Coast Stair Co., established the company in 1980 after discovering a lifelong passion for woodworking in his early years. With over 40 years of experience in the construction industry, Jim has mastered the art of fine woodworking and built a reputation as a premier provider of custom staircase design in the Pacific Northwest.
As the oldest operating stair company in the region, we pride ourselves on being a specialized, small custom shop. Unlike large-scale competitors who rely on mass production, Jim personally hand-selects the finest woodworking artisans and stair builders in the area. Every staircase is a unique work of art, hand-built in Jim’s local woodshop to ensure the highest standards of quality, durability, and design.
