Floating Stairs in Lynnwood, WA
Why Lynnwood Homeowners Choose Us
Floating Stairs for Lynnwood Homes and Townhomes
Floating staircases live at the meeting point of structural steel and fine woodwork, and we built our shop to do both. Floating stairs are the only thing we make, which is how we hold tight tolerances on the steel and a clean, furniture-grade finish on the treads.
Every staircase is fabricated in our own shop and installed by the same crew that made it, so the quality is consistent from the first measurement to the final walkthrough. If you’re working with a designer we build to their vision; if you’re not, we guide you through stringer style, tread species, railings, and finishes ourselves.

Why Floating Stairs Make Sense in Lynnwood
Lynnwood is in the middle of a growth wave, and the light rail extension is a big part of it. New townhomes and mixed-use construction are filling in around the Lynnwood City Center station, and those tall, narrow floor plans need staircases that don’t hog light or square footage. An open-riser floating stair drops daylight through the levels and makes a compact home feel considerably larger.
The established neighborhoods tell the other half of the story. Homes from the 60s through the 80s around Alderwood, Lake Serene, and Martha Lake are being opened up and modernized, and the original enclosed staircase is usually the last dated element left standing. Swapping it for a floating system finishes the update and connects the levels the way an open plan is meant to.
Where We Build Across Lynnwood
We work throughout the city: Alderwood, Lake Serene, Martha Lake, the Lynnwood City Center area, Meadowdale border streets, Scriber Lake, College Place, the neighborhoods around Edmonds College, and the new construction rising near the light rail. The townhomes near the station are some of our most frequent installs.
We also serve the surrounding communities, including Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Bothell, Mill Creek, and Brier. If your project is anywhere in south Snohomish County, call or send the form and you’ll hear back within a business day.

Stairs & Railings
Pair with Railings
by Custom Railings WA
A floating staircase and its railing should be designed together, and our sister company Custom Railings WA makes that possible by building them in the same shop as the stairs. Cable railings, steel rail systems, and frameless glass guardrails all come out of one coordinated process, so the finishes match and the connections are planned from the start.
For Lynnwood’s new townhomes, cable and thin steel rails keep tight stairwells open without the cost of glass. In larger remodels around Alderwood and Martha Lake, glass panels or horizontal steel bars give the staircase more presence. One consultation covers both parts, with samples in hand.
Mono Stringer
Mono Stringer Stairs in Lynnwood
The mono stringer carries the whole staircase on a single steel beam down the center, with treads on both sides. In Lynnwood this is our volume system, because it fits the narrow openings in new townhomes, looks clean from every angle, and delivers the full floating effect at the most approachable price.
Each stringer is built to order in our shop, engineered for your exact rise and run, and powder coated in the finish you pick. Matte black under white oak treads is the Lynnwood favorite.
Double Stringer
Double Stringer Stairs in Lynnwood
Double stringer stairs run a steel beam along each side of the treads. The structure is stiffer, the treads can run wider, and the staircase feels solid underfoot in a way people notice immediately. For Lynnwood’s larger homes and the three-level townhomes near the station, this is the system we specify.
Two beams also expand the design options: thick slab treads, longer spans, switchback layouts, and integrated lighting all work cleanly. We’ve built L-shaped and U-shaped double stringer runs throughout the Lynnwood area, each one built to the precise dimensions of your home.
Cantilever
Cantilever Stairs in Lynnwood
Cantilever stairs hide the structure completely. Concealed steel brackets carry each tread inside the wall, so the finished staircase reads as pure floating planes with nothing beneath them. It’s the most dramatic system we build and the one that transforms a Lynnwood entry into a showpiece.
We coordinate closely with your builder so the staircase integrates cleanly with the project. During the free consultation we’ll tell you plainly whether a cantilever suits your space, or design a mono stringer that captures most of the same effect.
