How much stairs to the second floor cost

What affects the price

  • Wood species

    Pine costs less, but it is softer, and treads made of it dent sooner. Ash, beech and oak are harder, but also more expensive.

  • Shape of the flight

    A straight flight is simpler to build than stairs with a turn: winder treads or a landing add parts, and a spiral staircase needs more precise calculation.

  • New stairs or cladding

    Cladding an existing concrete flight or steel frame with wood usually costs less than stairs built from scratch, but uneven concrete has to be leveled under each tread.

  • Railings and guards

    Balusters, handrails and a guard around the opening upstairs are often priced separately, and turned wooden, metal or glass railings cost differently.

  • Finish and painting

    Several coats of oil or varnish on treads and handrails, painting the steel frame and staining to match the floor are sometimes included in the cost and sometimes charged separately.

How to choose a stair builder

  1. 1

    Measuring before fabrication

    Stairs are calculated for a specific space, so the exact cost is usually given after measuring. Ask whether the measuring visit is paid and who answers if the parts do not fit.

  2. 2

    Drawing or visualization

    Ask for a drawing or a visualization with the tread sizes, and use it to check that there will be enough headroom under the edge of the opening.

  3. 3

    Finished floor in the calculation

    Ask whether the builder will allow for the thickness of the future flooring on both floors: otherwise the first or last step may end up a different height from the rest.

  4. 4

    Fastening and squeaks

    Ask how the treads will be fixed to the frame and the risers to the treads, and how the wood was dried: this decides whether squeaks and gaps appear later.

  5. 5

    Similar stairs in the portfolio

    Look in the portfolio for stairs of your type — on a frame, with a turn, spiral — and look up close at how the treads meet the wall and the handrail follows the turn.

What to put in the order

The more precise the description, the more precise the prices in responses.
  • Where the stairs go: to the second floor, the attic or the basement, indoors or outside

  • Floor-to-floor height and the size of the opening, if you already know them

  • Material: wood, metal, or wooden treads on a steel frame

  • Shape: straight, with a turn or spiral, and whether you need railings

  • New stairs or cladding existing ones — concrete or metal

  • Renovation stage: bare screed only, finished flooring already down, or renovation complete
