Building Complicated Stairways

Staircases don’t typically receive much thought, and when they do, they are usually viewed in a rather simple manner. Upon reflection, however, it becomes apparent that staircases may play a bigger role than we thought.

Coming down the stairs in a graduation or wedding dress is a classic pose for family photos, as are siblings arranged by age. Your dream home may have a double staircase greeting you as you enter, and many fine hotels have rather extravagant staircases. Some feel that a spiral staircase adds a touch of class.

Or sometimes, rough terrain, the building code, a desire for a certain look, and access needs conspire to make building an exterior staircase seem like a challenge for even the most experienced carpentry & framing team.

Obviously, then, staircases do more than let us pass between floors.

Although staircases can be rather simple and straightforward, they can also become rather complicated with a wide range of designs. At First Peak, we love building complicated, elaborate staircases that make homes as unique as the people that live in them. Pre-planned with computer assistance, these staircases are built to code and built to last. A beautiful timber frame stairway custom-made for your home can be a perfect finishing touch.

Here are some of the benefits of adding a custom staircase:

• Greater Aesthetic Appeal

As mentioned above, your new staircase needn’t be simply a means of access from one floor to another. Designing a custom staircase can add artistic flair to your home. Design possibilities are practically unlimited, and the right design can significantly change the appearance of your home, even becoming a talking point when visitors come calling. By working with the experts at First Peak, you’ll be sure to get the custom staircase you’ve been visualizing.

• Increased Resale Value

Although you may not be selling your property for years to come, adding your custom staircase can add great value if and when you do decide to sell. Although it will cost more upfront than a standard staircase, expenses may be recouped in the future. The custom design may help to attract buyers who are looking for something beautiful and unique, providing a strong selling point. Until then, it’s yours to enjoy.

• Long-Lasting Quality

When building a custom staircase, it is built to your specifications. You can be sure that you are receiving a staircase that far surpasses the standard. Built with outstanding expertise and using the finest materials, your custom staircase will be beautiful, functional, sturdy, and long-lasting with the kind of long-lasting quality that will endure for many years to come, retaining its value and requiring minimal maintenance.
