Custom Stairs Worcester MA

In our new home we built the stair case with Brazilian Cherry treads, handrails and newel post. The risers and stringers are made from poplar. Brazilian Cherry is a really beautiful wood and extremely dense. I'm told it's about 100 times harder than red oak.

In our new home we built the stair case with Brazilian Cherry treads, handrails and newel post. The risers and stringers are made from poplar. Brazilian Cherry is a really beautiful wood and extremely dense. I'm told it's about 100 times harder than red oak.

As you can see in the photos the design of our stair case included a landing allowing us to access the stairs from the foyer and the breakfast nook. This was a wonderful design idea we came up with and it really helps the daily flow of traffic.

I ordered all of the Brazilian Cherry parts from an online vendor, Stairsupplies.com. All of the parts were of great quality and craftsmanship. My only complaint was the lead time was much longer than they advertised. Having said that I'd still purchase stair parts from them again because of the quality and price. I had a local custom stair builder give me a price of $8,000 to build this stair case. I spent about $2,400 on parts and another $1,200 on labor and probably another 20 hours of my own time. All in all I'm really pleased with this stair case.
