Yes. Railtec works directly with residential customers and homeowners, as well builders and general contractors.
Each job is unique and depends upon a number of factors such as materials chosen, number of stairs, type of finish, etc. That being said, with a competent crew of 2-3 people we typically finish a job within one day.
After estimate approval, we can typically schedule your job approximately 4 weeks out, and, in most cases, finish in a day or two after we start. We will try our best to accommodate your schedule, but we are at the mercy of material availability, so certain products may involve longer lead times. We will certainly communicate openly with you if that is the case.

We have a stain and finishing department that handles rails, newels, and balusters, but don’t typically work with stairs. We do, however, have partners that handle stair treads and risers, and work with us to make sure your job comes together seamlessly.
