Why Floating Stairs Work in Tukwila
Tukwila has a mix that few cities its size can match: established residential streets, a busy commercial core around Southcenter, and office and retail space that gets refreshed regularly. A floating staircase works in all of it. In a home it opens up the entry, and in a commercial interior it signals that the space has been designed with intent.
On the residential side, the homes here are largely from the 50s through the 80s, and they’re getting opened up like everywhere else in south King County. Once the main floor goes open-plan, the original boxed-in staircase is the last dark element in the house, and an open-riser system finishes the update.
Where We Build Across Tukwila
We work throughout the city: Southcenter, Allentown, Riverton, Foster, Thorndyke, Tukwila Hill, Cascade View, and the neighborhoods along Interurban Avenue and the Duwamish. Both residential and commercial projects are in our regular rotation here.
We also serve the surrounding cities without any change in service: Renton, Kent, Burien, SeaTac, and Seattle are all a short drive from the shop. If your project is anywhere in south King 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 staircase and its railing should be designed as one piece. Our sister company, Custom Railings WA, builds cable railings, steel rail systems, and frameless glass guardrails in the same shop where your staircase is fabricated, so both are drawn and installed together.
In Tukwila homes, cable and thin steel rails keep stairwells open while standing up to daily wear. In commercial interiors, glass and steel bar rails deliver a polished, professional look. One meeting covers both stairs and railing, with samples in hand.
Mono Stringer
Mono Stringer Stairs in Tukwila
A mono stringer runs one steel beam up the center of the staircase with treads on both sides. It’s our most-installed system in Tukwila, working equally well in a home entry and in an office or retail interior where floor space is at a premium.
We fabricate each stringer to order, matching your rise and run exactly, and powder coat it in the colour you select. Matte black steel under white oak treads is the common pick, though commercial clients often go with a lighter or custom color to match a brand palette.
Double Stringer
Double Stringer Stairs in Tukwila
A double stringer sets a beam along each side of the treads. It’s stiffer, carries wider treads, and handles higher foot traffic without any flex, which makes it a strong choice for Tukwila’s commercial spaces as well as its larger homes.
Two beams also expand what’s possible. Heavier slab treads, longer spans, switchback runs, and integrated under-tread lighting all work cleanly. Every staircase is built to the exact dimensions of your space.
Cantilever
Cantilever Stairs in Tukwila
Cantilever stairs hide the structure inside the wall, so each tread appears to float on its own. In a commercial lobby or a residential entry, it’s the system that makes people stop and look.
Cantilever stairs are the most involved of the three systems, and we’ll tell you during the free consultation whether one suits your space. In new construction we coordinate closely with your builder so the staircase integrates cleanly.

Our Process
How We Build Your Tukwila Staircase
A Tukwila project starts with a free visit to your home or business, easy to schedule since the shop is just south of you. We measure, look at the space, and talk through what you want the staircase to be.
You then review detailed drawings and one firm price, and nothing advances until you approve both. We build at our Kent shop and the same crew that welded your steel installs it.
Consultation
We learn your space, goals, style, budget, and timeline for the project.
Design
We create a custom stair concept shaped to your layout and architecture.
Fabrication
We build each stair component with precision, strength, and clean detail.
Installation
We install the staircase carefully for a seamless fit and finished look.
