Frequently Asked Questions

Are prices indicated for the two stringers?

Yes, left and right stringers, slide connectors and all connecting fasteners with Allen key.

 

Are steps/treads includes?

No. Measure and/or determine the width of your stairs and cut same size step/treads you choose (from 2x’s to the best hardwood and other fine stair finish products you’ll find locally) to screw onto the perforated step supports. The following standard materials or equivalent are recommended :

2x10s or 1″ hardwood treads: up to 36 inches wide
2x12s or 1¼” hardwood treads: up to 48 inches wide

 

What about raillings?

There are two simple methods for attaching railings to your stairs:

1. with railing posts fastened from inside the perforated steel stringers and railing boards fastened to posts above stringers (easiest method)
2. with railing posts and system attached to the top of the treads

Make sure you have the necessary bottom floor horizontal run and that your top floor opening is large enough (usually 70% of the horizontal run measurement) for an 80″ head clearance.

Testimonial from Vince Li

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.

Testimonial from Ronald Fason

”Hello,

I just wanted to write in to tell you how satisfied I am with my fast stairs purchase. I just remodeled my basement and needed stairs installed so that I could enter the basement from inside my house. I searched everywhere but fast stairs had not only the best product as far as quality,  but also the easiest product to assemble and install. The stairs are a perfect fit and the customer service was great.  The owner himself answered the phone and really held my hand and guided me to make the correct choice of stringers based on my measurements.  I really want to say thank you and that I recommend fast stairs to anyone in need of a new stairs.”
