ISO: Stair contractor recommendation

We’re in need of new rails and spindles for two interior staircases in our brownstone, and we are seeking recommendations for stair contractors. We’ve already received quotes from Soxco and Circular Stairs but are hoping to find another party to come out. Stock, simple items sought – nothing fancy to replicate.  We appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Thanks all! Soxco’s price came in so high that it was just beyond what we could afford, but we did like their plan a lot. We appreciate all of the suggestions.

I would recommend Relva from CRJ Home Improvement. Give him a call at 347-715-5956.. He does simple stairs at a good price.. If you are looking for super fancy then Soxco.

Someone on here was selling railings and spindles a bit ago. DIdn’t look like anyone had bought. Was looking for $100 OBO. May not be what you’re looking for, but  worth checking out. Just do a search.

Heights Woodwork does rails & spindles.  Not sure of pricing – I used them years ago.

I used Julio (via recommendation here) to build me a new simple staircase to my cellar. He did a great job at a great price. 917-214-9354
