FLIGHT Pricing

While base pricing is helpful, there’s a wide range of projects and costs when it comes to FLIGHT stairs. It’s helpful to look at some specific projects, to give a sense of what we can do, and the associated costs. 

Let’s take a look at a few examples:

Sourcing high-quality lumber for treads. Contracting a metal fabricator to weld a steel stringer on-site. Hiring a glazier to cut and install a glass railing. Coordinating the timeline and budget for each tradesperson independently. These steps and more have been a standard part of installing custom, high-end floating stairs in a home for years.

That is, until Viewrail made it a seamless experience, all while keeping things custom.

With Viewrail, the value isn’t just in high-end stairs and railing, it’s in being a single source for the design, engineering, manufacturing, and delivery of those stairs and railing. Everything is made right here in America, and shipped directly to your door. 

With best-in-class visual installation instructions and the components pre-fabricated, floating stairs from Viewrail can be installed by a first-time contractor or a small crew, on an installation timeline measured in days, not weeks.

A general rule of thumb for stair costs is that Viewrail floating stairs tend to account for around 3% of a home’s market value. For example, in a $10 million home, which prioritizes stairs and railing as a central design feature, the stair and railing system may be valued at approximately $300K. For a $1 million home, more like $30K.

This guideline isn’t a hard and fast rule, and every build or remodel is unique. A central staircase that will help define the look of a home may be valued differently than a stair to the basement. Over the years, however, we’ve found it to be a helpful starting point for budgeting, as you can compare the cost to the potential value of what you’re buying.
