Uses and testimonials

I have attached pictures of the finished staircase, they are 63" wide! Stairs are 2x12 step and 2x12 risers attached via a lap joint using 2"cabinet screws. Then I trimmed out with pine to cover the metal stringers. Underneath this staircase is a Master Closet consisting of 35 ft of combination hanger/shelf space, a 20 ft of shoe rack, sitting area, 30 cu ft of storage. Your Fast-Stairs metal stringers were well worth the expense. Thank you

We received the fast-stairs on Friday and they are perfect. Much better than expected. The material is built to endure a lifetime. Thanks for a great product.

Hi Claude,

Photo is attached. The stairs are great.

- Robert Burgess, Louisiana

We love our new stairs! These stairs are very sturdy, much sturdier than the ones we replaced. Thank you.

Respectfully,

- Richard Whittaker and Coleen Robbins, Idaho

This is a great stair that replaced my old rotten wooden stairs. Who needs carpentry experience? This product is so easy to build. I feel lucky to find you on the web.

Sincerely,

Hello,

Attached please find a photo of my completed project. One side is mounted into the studs and the other side is clad with Red Oak. I had a welder come to help me fabricate the railings out of T-bars I purchased from a local industrial metal store. I also ran cable wires through the posts to complete the contemporary look I was going for.

For the treads I used Ikea butcher block counter tops and cut them to size.

I saved over $6,000 since this job was DIY.

I am very happy with the finished product.

The stairs worked out very well... assemble better and faster...

- Ronald Palmer, California

Your stairs are great, easy to install. Just ordered another set for another house.

- Brian Fischer, California

We love your stairs, we do not loose light in the room because of simple structure, stairs are not steep, just perfect for our place and they are only 30 inches wide so we were able to use 2x6 trex for treads and millennium fascia and trim for finish on stringers. Thank you !

Consider the text below as my testimonial:

The Fast-Stairs product did not come up short of its description from the website. It was simple to assemble and the dimensions were perfect. Prior to discovering your product, the biggest challenge with installing stairs on an exterior attached deck that measured exactly 106" tall was finding a product that met my needs and would not be a high maintenance material.

Fast-Stairs to the rescue!

I ordered the stringers that was exactly 106" with 14 risers. It lined up perfectly and I was able to reduce one riser from the original stairdesign. From my picture you will be able to see that it was possible to build low maintenance stairs and railling by using powder coated materials. The only maintenance to anticipate is the replacement of individual stair treads as Southern Alberta winters take their toll on the pressure treated wood, but not for a few years. Replacing a tread should be just as effortless as the original assembly.

This is a good product!

- Dave Lanktree, Alberta, Canada

Hi,
I love my stairs! My son-in-law, Roger, installed them easily. He fitted them to my specifications and added the bannister for my support. I work on my roof periodically doing maintenance and the ladder was just getting too much for me.

Attached are my pictures for your use and you can add this testimony.

Thank you for creating this product. If there are any questions please feel free to email me.

I just wanted to thank you for making/marketing such a great product! We purchased our set of the Space Saving stringers for a project in our basement. We were taking out the old wooden steps to make our basement more "flood-friendly" because we have flooded several times in the past. The door frame was a smaller size than normal and we were really stuck on how to accomplish this...until we stumbled across your website.

You were kind enough to speak to my husband on several occasions before we ordered so we knew we were ordering what we needed to have. We decided to go with the Space Saving C model so we could have more clearance at the bottom of the stairs to walk around.

They went in pretty easily and we found their flexibility to be just what we needed. As you can see, we painted them black to match our decor and added our own touch with stained oak treads. We added a railing quite nicely. Again, I can't thank you enough for your quick delivery and great customer service!

Attached you will find several pictures of the stairs in place. Thanks!!

Hello!
Please find attached a photo of our stair installation. In the image you'll notice a vertical ladder attached to the workshop wall on the left-hand side of the photo. I am 63 and my wife is 59. The ladder had become unsafe for us to use for access to the workshop loft. The Fast Stairs installation has completely solved the problem and restored about 300 square feet of valuable storage space.

The treads are just 2" x 10" x 30" cut pieces of lumber. The hand rail is made from prefab pieces purchased at our local Lowe's. The cost of the treads was about $30 and the railing less than $20.00 for everything you see. The total cost of the project was under $400. One of the contractors had given me an estimate of $1,000 to build the same thing out of wood. The entire installation, including the trip to Lowe's, took less than two hours to complete working by myself.

Many thanks for a fantastic product. I will be recommending the Fast Stairs stringers at every opportunity!

Claude,

  We installed an A10 at our cottage in Northern Ontario last weekend. Assembled as easily and fast as advertised. Exceptionally stable and sleek looking. The two stairs we installed at our family cottage are fantastic and everyone is very impressed with them.

  thank you,

Attached are the pictures of my finished Stair project.
These stairs are GREAT, my wife can now let the dogs out into the back yard without having to walk all the way into the basement to let them out!

- Jeffrey W. Skiba, Florida

Assembly was very easy! Our first house project since the birth of our son and we were able to do it all during his afternoon nap. Basement is prone to flooding so we are looking forward to having these steps much longer than the last ones! Thank you!

To Fast-Stairs,
I had never built a stairway before. One was required for the remodel I was planning for my newly purchased “fixer-upper” home. I surfed the Internet for ideas and came upon Fast-Stairs.com and talked with Claude Ranger on the phone. I bought package WS2 and proceeded to build a perfectly beautiful 4ft wide stairwell by myself. The cost in money and effort for these steel stringers was less than that of wood stringers and were easier by far to erect and level perfectly. I recommend them without reservation. Thank you, Mr. Ranger, for your quick reply to my questions during construction. Your support of these products is excellent.

- Joe Sowa, Washington

I had some help today and got the stairs up. None of us could believe how we just stood them up out of the back of my pick up and walked them over and let the hooks fall right into place on the deck. Believe it or not, they were actually level and the base is on a packed stone driveway. We had to check it three times before we believed it. I have to pick up some wood for the railing but That will be a breeze now. I am also thinking about putting risers on the back of the steps for the dog. I would recommend this process to anyone who wants strength, uniform looks and ease of installation.

Thank you
