Custom stairs in Bellevue and Renton, WA
Custom Wood Railings and Handrails in Bellevue and Renton, WA
Handcrafted handrails, banisters and railing systems in wood species and profiles chosen for your home. Built by hand in our Renton shop by West Coast Stair Co.
Wood railings built for the home
The handrail is the part of a staircase you touch every day, so its profile, species and finish matter as much as how it looks. We design wood railings together with the stair, so the handrail, banisters and trim feel like one piece of fine woodworking.
What we build
- Custom handrails and banisters in wood species selected for your home
- Handrail profiles and details chosen with you during the design process
- Railing systems that match your stair treads, newels and trim
- Wood railings combined with metal details for a modern or traditional look
Choosing the right wood
The right wood depends on the style, finish and use of the stair. We help you select wood species and handrail profiles during your consultation. For background, read our guide to choosing the right wood for custom stairs, or see how wood pairs with custom metal railings.
