Every staircase starts with raw, premium lumber and hand-craftsmanship. Our artisans shape, chisel, and hand-finish each piece to ensure a perfect fit and a flawless surface that lasts for generations. This philosophy underpins everything we do at Grant's Stairs and Railings, from the initial material selection through the final finishing touches. We begin with carefully inspected, kiln-dried hardwood lumber sourced from reputable regional suppliers who practice sustainable forestry. Each component is marked and cut according to precise specifications, with special attention paid to grain direction for optimal strength and stability. Our joinery combines time-tested techniques like mortise-and-tenon, dovetail, and finger joints with modern adhesives and fastening systems where appropriate to create connections that are both strong and durable. All surfaces are prepared through progressive sanding sequences, moving from coarse to fine grits to achieve the perfect substrate for finishing. Finishing options include penetrating oils that enhance the natural wood grain, semi-transparent stains that add color while showing the wood's character, and commercial-grade polyurethanes that provide exceptional wear resistance. Each piece receives multiple coats of finish with proper sanding between applications to ensure a professional, long-lasting result. This attention to detail extends to every aspect of the staircase, from the visible treads and risers to the hidden structural components that ensure safety and longevity. Our commitment to hand craftsmanship means that no piece leaves our workshop without undergoing rigorous quality inspection for fit, finish, and structural integrity.
