Custom Wood Stair Stringers

Cutting your own stair stringers requires precise calculations for tread depth and riser height to ensure building code compliance. While DIY technical support and installation guides are available, custom-fabricated stair stringers eliminate manual cutting errors. Acadia Stairs fabricates precision straight and curved systems tailored to exact project specifications, providing structural support without the risk and labor associated with cutting stringers on site.

The overall length of a stringer for 7 steps varies by configuration, specifically depending on your finished floor-to-floor height, target riser height, and tread depth. Because building codes dictate precise riser spacing and run dimensions, overall stringer length must be calculated individually for each project. Acadia Stairs develops custom shop drawings to determine exact structural dimensions tailored to your site.

Custom stair stringers are available in single stringer, double stringer, and side stringer configurations. Systems can be engineered in straight-line, L-shaped, U-shaped switchback or scissor layouts, geometric winder designs, or sweeping curved paths. They can be installed freestanding or attached to side walls, providing flexible layout solutions to match modern, open, and traditional architectural requirements.

Yes, custom stair stringers are engineered for both interior and exterior applications. Exterior installations utilize weather-resistant materials and finishes, such as galvanized steel, treated wood, and protective powder coatings to resist moisture and corrosion. Common exterior uses include deck access, balconies, and garden staircases, while interior designs provide open floating aesthetics for residential homes and commercial offices.

Custom stair stringers accommodate a wide variety of tread materials to complement your interior or exterior decor. Available tread options include wood, stone, cement, tile, glass, rubber, stainless steel, and diamond plate steel. Stringer systems are fabricated with durable carriers and riser plates, allowing seamless integration with your chosen step material while maintaining structural rigidity and aesthetic appeal.

Custom stair stringer systems from Acadia Stairs are engineered to meet residential and commercial load requirements, with heavy-duty designs capable of handling 300 lbs per tread. Built using large profile structural steel or robust treated components, these stringers deliver superior structural stability and code compliance for high-traffic environments, wide staircases, and minimalist floating layouts alike.
