OUR PROCESS

Artistry Without Limits: If you can dream it, our artisans can build it.

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.

Step 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)?

Remodels

If plans aren't available, don't worry. We specialize in custom fabrication and can work with you to develop the necessary specifications.

Step 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 allows 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 5

Personalized Estimation & Timeline

After gathering your plans, photos, and design preferences, Jim Pittman and our team of elite artisans will provide a detailed project estimate. This proposal will outline the craftsmanship required to bring your "impossible" dream to life, ensuring the finished product meets the highest standards of luxury and durability.
