customer > Berglund Construction

Berglund contracted a multi-million-dollar rowhome project that required high-end, architect-specified staircases for seven four-level units. We produced custom layouts for each unit based on our own field dimensions, and recommended changes from the original prints in order to improve the final designs. Designed Stairs provided an experienced installer to assist the union carpenters on site, as well as several experts to trouble-shoot when needed. The end result was 23 custom, black walnut staircases that are among the highlights of this luxury building.
