Staircase remodels & hardwood makeovers in Decatur, AL

Most Decatur stair jobs start with what is already in the house: oak that is worn at the nosing, carpet over a sound stringer, or a rail that never matched the floor. Rocket City Stairs remodels that stair in place — sand, recut, and install solid treads and risers — instead of selling you a metal fabrication package you did not ask for.

Lived-in Decatur houses are why we run advanced, virtually dustless containment. Stairs sit in the middle of the home. Extraction keeps dust out of the air, ductwork, and furniture while we pull carpet, fit treads, and finish rails.

If the adjoining floors are original strip oak, the stair stain is sampled on those boards so the hall does not look like two contractors. Hartselle is on the same Morgan County route if that is closer.

Custom staircase installation in Decatur

When a Decatur addition or a ruined layout needs a new interior stair, Rocket City Stairs builds it as millwork: solid hardwood treads and risers, skirt boards cut to the wall, newels, and a wood or wood-and-matte-black metal rail finished to the adjoining oak. If the existing stringer is sound, a remodel or makeover is usually the better job — we say so on the free on-site estimate. We do not fabricate outdoor steel stairs.

Interior staircase railings in Decatur

Interior staircase railings in Decatur are quoted as millwork, not a welded outdoor package. A typical Decatur rail is a wood handrail on square newels, with wood balusters, matte black metal balusters, or a mix — fitted to an interior hardwood stair. We set newels plumb, run a continuous handrail that follows the pitch, and space balusters so the guard meets typical residential interior requirements. Exact height and spacing are confirmed on the written estimate at the house; this page is not a code manual. We do not do outdoor steel stairs, deck rails, or commercial metal fabrication. If a Decatur search for railings lands on a metal shop, that is a different trade. Our rail work is the interior guard on a hardwood stair: oak or painted newels, a wood cap, and balusters that belong with the treads. Carpeted stairs and a new rail can be one job. If the stringer is sound, we pull the carpet, install solid treads and risers, and set the rail in the same visit so you are not coordinating two contractors. Hartselle is on the same Morgan County route. Call (256) 665-2161 for a free on-site written estimate.

FAQ

Decatur, AL stair questions

Do you install matte black metal railings in Decatur?
Yes, on interior staircases. We pair matte black metal balusters with hardwood treads, handrails, and newels. We don't build outdoor steel stairs.
Do you build custom staircase railings in Decatur?
Yes. Custom staircase railings in Decatur are wood handrails and newels with wood or matte black metal balusters, quoted with the interior hardwood stair — not a catalog rail dropped on unfinished treads. We do not fabricate outdoor steel or commercial metal. Call (256) 665-2161 for a free on-site written estimate.
Can carpeted stairs and a new railing be one job in Decatur?
Yes. If the stringer is sound, we convert carpeted stairs to hardwood and install the railing in the same quote so you are not coordinating two trades. Scope is written on site. Call (256) 665-2161.
Should I choose wood or matte black metal balusters in Decatur?
Either, or mixed. Wood balusters match existing millwork; matte black metal balusters with an oak handrail are the other common Decatur ask. We sample both against your treads and floor on the estimate. We do not do outdoor steel. Call (256) 665-2161.
