Floating Stairs in North Bend, WA
Why North Bend Homeowners Choose Us
A Modern Staircase Built for Your North Bend Home
North Bend sits at the foot of Mount Si, and the homes here are built around that. Big windows facing the rock face, cabins and lodges tucked into the trees, newer construction with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. A steel-and-wood floating staircase belongs in that architecture in a way a carpeted closed staircase never will.
We build floating staircases and nothing else. We weld the steel ourselves, finish the treads ourselves, and send the same team out to install the finished staircase. Keeping every step under one roof is what protects the quality.

Why Floating Stairs Fit North Bend Homes
The mountain-modern look that defines North Bend building relies on natural light, open volume, and honest materials. Wood, steel, glass, stone. A floating staircase is made of exactly those things, and it keeps a vaulted room feeling like one open volume instead of two floors separated by a stair wall.
Light matters more here than most places. Homes sit under tall evergreens with the mountain shading the afternoon sun, so daylight is precious. Open risers let what light you have travel between floors instead of stopping at a wall of solid stair framing.
Where We Build Across North Bend
We work throughout the area: downtown North Bend, Tanner, Si View, Forster Woods, Riverbend, Cedar Falls, Truck Town, Uplands, and the properties along the Middle Fork and the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River. The homes with direct Mount Si views are some of our most rewarding local projects.
We also serve the surrounding communities, including Snoqualmie, Fall City, Preston, Issaquah, and Carnation. If your project is anywhere in the upper valley, reach out by phone or through the form and we’ll get back to you within a business day.

Stairs & Railings
Pair with Railings
by Custom Railings WA
Our sister company, Custom Railings WA, fabricates railing systems in the same shop where your staircase gets built, which means the two are designed together rather than bolted together after the fact. Cable railings, steel rail systems, and frameless glass guardrails are all on the table.
In North Bend’s mountain-modern homes, a horizontal steel rail or a cable system reads honest and appropriate to the architecture. Frameless glass works beautifully where a window wall frames Mount Si and nothing should interrupt it. We bring samples to the consultation so you can see the options in your own light.
Mono Stringer
Mono Stringer Stairs in North Bend
A mono stringer runs a single steel beam up the center of the staircase with treads on both sides. In North Bend it’s the system we quote most often, because the single clean line of steel under thick wood treads speaks the same language as the exposed beams and timber framing these homes are known for.
We build every stringer to order, cut to your precise rise and run, then powder coat it in your chosen colour. Matte black is the standard here, though a raw or blackened steel look suits the lodge aesthetic when a client wants something with more texture.
Double Stringer
Double Stringer Stairs in North Bend
A double stringer runs a beam along each edge of the treads. The staircase comes out firmer, carries wider treads, and takes on a more structured, architectural feel. For the bigger cabins and lodge-style homes around North Bend, this is often the right call.
Two beams also allow the heavy timber-look treads that suit this area. Thick slabs, long spans, switchback runs, and integrated lighting all work without compromise on a double stringer. Each staircase is built to the exact dimensions of your run.
Cantilever
Cantilever Stairs in North Bend
Cantilever stairs hide the structure entirely. Concealed steel carries each tread, so the finished staircase is nothing but floating planes of wood. Against a clean wall in a vaulted North Bend great room, the effect is sculptural.
Cantilever stairs ask the most of a project, and we’ll tell you at the free consultation whether one fits your home. On a new build we coordinate closely with your builder so the staircase integrates cleanly from the start.
