Our team provides measuring, fabrication, powder coating and installation, delivering a compact stair for homes and a durable stair for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 17 years in business and our 18-month workmanship warranty, we've completed over 1,483 projects, from a 7 ft loft stair to an 11 ft roof deck rise.
From the first rise measurement to the last tread bolt, our team handles every detail. Serving Cedar Park alongside Round Rock, Georgetown and Leander, we set each stair so it stays quiet underfoot and plumb on its center column.
Request a free estimate, and we will measure the rise, mark the floor opening and price the staircase before any steel is cut.

A remodel adding a roof deck where a straight stair would have eaten the side yard
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Owen's remodel on Rollingwood Drive in Rollingwood added a roof deck where a straight stair would have eaten the side yard. We built a 60 in diameter steel spiral stair with oak treads for the 11 ft rise, shop finished and set in place by the crew. The job was an estimated $3,900 to $5,600 and took an estimated 2 to 3 days. The stair takes up one corner by the house and leaves the side yard whole.
A spiral stair fits where a straight stair would take too much floor, which is why roof decks, lofts and second-floor terraces use them most. Buttercup Creek and Twin Creeks homes in Cedar Park have tract floor plans with little spare room, so a stair to an upper deck has to be compact. Rough Hollow and Lakeway Drive homes in Lakeway often add a view deck off a bedroom, and Lake Austin side homes in Steiner Ranch step down to a terrace. The city grew from 26,049 people in 2000 to 77,595 in 2020, so many 20 year old homes are now getting a deck added.
A custom spiral staircase is estimated at $1,500 to $5,800 per staircase, and the rise, the diameter, the tread material and the landing condition move that number most.

Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Steel spiral stair | Est. $1,500 to $5,800 per staircase | Est. 1 to 3 days |
| Ornamental stair or balcony guard | Est. $68 to $132 per linear foot | Est. 5 to 10 hours |
| Old iron blast and recoat | Est. $31 to $48 per linear foot | Est. 1 to 3 days |
A typical 11 ft rise stair with oak treads lands inside the estimated price range and typically takes 2 to 3 days, while a short loft stair is often done in a day. These stair figures are estimates, and a taller rise, oak treads or a wider diameter can change them; the written quote fixes the final price and the schedule once the opening is surveyed.
A spiral stair is the best choice when floor space is tight, and a straight stair with an iron guard is the better choice when people carry loads up and down every day. The table sets a spiral stair beside a straight stair on estimated price and on where each fits best.
| Option | Est. installed price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Steel spiral stair | Est. $1,500 to $5,800 per staircase | Decks, lofts and tight corners |
| Iron guard on a straight stair | Est. $68 to $132 per linear foot | Daily use and carrying loads |
| Blast and recoat of an old stair | Est. $31 to $48 per linear foot | A sound stair with a tired finish |
A stair is a safety part, so the risks are the rise, the headroom, the opening and the anchors. Stair code rules differ by city and by use, so confirm current text with the city that covers your lot and we will write the answer on the quote.
Steel is the standard stair material, and our steel gate and fence material comparison explains galvanizing and powder coat. For the rail that runs beside a stair, see our iron railings, and for a high edge at the top of a stair see iron balconies.
We measure the rise, weld the column and bolt the treads ourselves, so the crew that surveys your opening is the crew that sets your stair. After 17 years and over 1,483 projects, the 18-month workmanship warranty has covered welds, anchors and tread bolts on every stair we have built. Stairs in Rollingwood and West Lake Hills get the same crew and the same slab probe. On Lakeway Drive, Tess chose a 24 lf steel balcony guard in bronze powder coat, an estimated $1,900 to $2,900 over 6 to 10 hours. Felicia's Old Town porch and stair got 32 lf of square bar finished in hand-rubbed black, an estimated $2,500 to $3,700 and 6 to 10 hours. Ravi's 48 in by 108 in pivot door on Hatley Drive is steel with insulated glass, an estimated $8,800 to $13,500 over 1 to 2 days.
We build iron staircases across a 40-mile radius, with stairs in Rollingwood, West Lake Hills and Lakeway, and the other towns we cover are listed on the service area page. Old Town, Wolf Ranch and Airport Road homes in Georgetown mostly want a deck or porch stair. Crystal Falls, Travisso and Mason Hills homes in Leander often add a stair to a second-story deck. Forest Creek and Chisholm Trail Road homes in Round Rock are older, so the slab or the framing is probed first. Quinlan Park Road side and University Club side lots in Steiner Ranch sit on slope, and Flintrock Falls and Hills of Lakeway lots in The Hills need association approval first. Brodie Lane side and Slaughter Creek side homes in Shady Hollow depend on whether the lot is inside Austin, and Lime Creek Road and Volente Road lake lots in Volente call for a galvanized stair.
A staircase usually pairs with a matching balcony guard, a railing for the landing, or an iron entry door that shares the same finish.

A stair can fall under a residential stair code, so we ask the city office for your address and note its answer on your quote.
Request a free estimate, and the crew will take your floor-to-floor rise, probe the anchors and write a quote that names every tread and rail.
Start to finish
An estimator walks the opening, reads the grade and marks where the leaf or the slide run has to clear.
Steel gets cut only after you sign off on a scaled drawing that names the tube, the coating and the opener.
Our Cedar Park welders build it, the steel goes for galvanizing and powder coat, and it ships finished.
Posts cure, the leaf goes up, the opener gets wired, and you watch each photo eye and edge stop the gate.
