Custom Stair Design

A custom architectural staircase is more than functional vertical circulation—it is the sculptural centerpiece of a luxury home. From floating steel monostringers with cantilevered oak box treads to sweeping helical hardwood balustrades, custom staircase design demands master-level engineering, structural calculations, and artisan craftsmanship.

For over 45 years, LLocal Stairs & Railings has collaborated with Southern California's premier architects, luxury interior designers, and custom home builders. Led by founder Allen Jukovic, we turn bold architectural concepts into code-compliant, vibration-free staircases that define the character of high-end residences in Beverly Hills, Manhattan Beach, and Newport Coast.

Architectural Styles We Engineer & Build

• Floating Monostringer Stairs: A single central heavy-gauge structural steel spine supporting thick 3.5" to 4" solid hardwood treads with open risers and frameless glass guards.
• Sweeping Curved & Helical Stairs: Continuous laminated hardwood stringers and continuous handrails bent to exact radius geometry with zero visible joints.
• Cantilevered Floating Stairs: Treads anchored into concealed steel tube frames embedded inside structural shear walls, creating the illusion of steps emerging directly from drywall.
• Double Steel Stringer Stairs: Twin laser-cut steel side plates with industrial-chic exposed fasteners, integrated under-tread LED channel lighting, and glass infill.
