I need to build a new set of wooden stairs that run from the garden level of my brownstone to the top level – i.e. 4 levels. This replaces the original stairs – I am saving and reusing the original banisters and spindles – about 25 of which are missing and being made to order. Everything else is going to be new, treads, risers, back, everything. I’ve been quoted $19,000. And I am trying to find out – in addition to getting other quotes – whether this is reasonable.

This quote also includes a standard straight set of metal stairs from the garden level to the cellar.
