Why Duvall Homeowners Choose Us
A Custom Staircase for Your Duvall Home
Duvall homes tend to sit on land. Acreage properties on the hillsides, farmhouses along the Snoqualmie Valley, custom builds with room to breathe. Homes with that kind of space deserve a staircase that feels considered rather than builder-standard, and that is exactly what a custom floating staircase is.
Floating staircases are the only thing we build. We design each staircase around its house, build it ourselves, and install it with the same team. That focus is what lets us hold precise tolerances on the steel and a clean, furniture-grade finish on the treads.

Why Floating Stairs Work in Duvall Homes
A lot of Duvall homes have a valley or hillside view, and in those houses the staircase often sits between the living space and the window. Build it solid and you wall off the reason you bought the property. Build it floating and the view carries straight through the open risers.
The farmhouse and country-modern styles common around Duvall also take beautifully to steel and wood. A blackened steel stringer under thick oak treads sits naturally alongside shiplap, exposed beams, and big barn-style windows, adding a modern note without fighting the character of the house.
Where We Build Across Duvall
We work throughout the area: downtown Duvall, Big Rock, Cherry Valley, Lake Rasmussen, Batten Road, the hillside acreage above town, and the properties running along the Snoqualmie Valley and West Snoqualmie Valley Road. The hillside homes with valley views are some of our favorite local projects.
We also serve the neighboring communities, including Carnation, Redmond, Woodinville, Monroe, and Snohomish. If your project is anywhere in the valley, call or send the form and you’ll hear back within a business day.

Stairs & Railings
Pair with Railings
by Custom Railings WA
The railing sets the personality of a floating staircase, and our sister company Custom Railings WA builds them in the same shop as the stairs. Cable, steel rail systems, and frameless glass guardrails all come from one coordinated process, so finishes match exactly.
For Duvall’s country-modern and farmhouse interiors, a matte black steel rail or a cable system feels right at home. Frameless glass earns its place where the staircase sits in front of a valley view and nothing should interrupt it.
Mono Stringer
Mono Stringer Stairs in Duvall
A mono stringer suspends the whole staircase from one steel beam running up the center, with treads on both sides. It’s the design we install most in Duvall, delivering the full floating effect with a small structural footprint and the friendliest price of the three systems.
Every stringer is made to order for your exact rise and run and powder coated in the finish you select. Thick white oak treads over matte black steel is the combination most Duvall clients land on, and it complements the warm, natural palettes common in valley homes.
Double Stringer
Double Stringer Stairs in Duvall
A double stringer carries the treads between two steel beams, one along each edge. It feels planted underfoot, handles wider treads, and gives the staircase more architectural weight. For the larger acreage homes around Duvall with long stair runs, this is the system we recommend.
Two beams also open up the design. Heavy slab treads, extended spans, L-shaped and switchback layouts, and under-tread lighting all work cleanly. Each staircase is built to the precise dimensions of your run, so it feels solid on every step.
Cantilever
Cantilever Stairs in Duvall
Cantilever stairs carry each tread on concealed steel inside the wall, leaving no visible structure at all. The finished staircase is nothing but floating planes of wood. In an open Duvall great room, it becomes the piece everyone comments on.
Cantilever stairs are the most involved of the three systems, and we’ll tell you during the free consultation whether one suits your space. On a new build we coordinate closely with your builder so the staircase fits the project cleanly.
