Staircase remodeling in Kansas City

Not sure who to call about your stairs? Call us. Staircase work is finish carpentry, and it's what Brock Chapman is known for: new treads and risers, iron balusters or horizontal rail, newel posts and handrails.

What we change

Every part of the stair, built to match

A staircase is the first thing people see when they walk in. We rebuild worn or dated stairs into the centerpiece of the house, whether that means new treads over the old ones or a whole new railing.

Square oak posts with horizontal metal rails, for open stairs and lofts where you want the railing to stay out of the way of the view.
