Steel Stair Installation in Downers Grove, IL

When we were contacted for this Steel Stair Installation in Downers Grove, IL, we knew the job would require precision, durability, and close attention to elevation transitions. The existing entry structure was deteriorated, uneven, and no longer safe. Our goal was to install a steel staircase that not only aligned with the structural needs of the space but also blended well with the property’s architecture and was built to last for decades.

We started by removing the old stair system and prepping the base. We excavated and poured new footings to handle the weight and movement of a full steel staircase. Our crew then installed galvanized base plates and vertical steel posts, anchoring them deep into the concrete to prevent shifting during freeze-thaw cycles — especially important for properties in Downers Grove. The frame was aligned using a laser level to ensure the staircase would rise and land perfectly flush.

Once the supports were in place, we moved on to custom-fabricating the stair stringers and treads using thick-gauge carbon steel. These components were cut and welded off-site and then installed using high-torque fasteners and structural welding on location. Each stair tread was made to be slip-resistant and open for proper drainage, which is key for outdoor steel staircases exposed to rain and snow in Downers Grove, IL.

The handrail system was another crucial part of the build. We fabricated sleek steel rails with horizontal balusters and fully welded the joints for maximum strength. Everything was then ground smooth and finished with a weatherproof powder coating to withstand rust, UV rays, and corrosion. We always take time to make sure the railing meets both safety code and visual expectations — and in this case, it delivered both strength and clean lines.

After the full structure was installed and cured, we performed a multi-point inspection: stair rise height, spacing, pitch, anchoring strength, and railing height were all verified. The result? A durable, weather-resistant, and maintenance-free steel stair system built to last. The before/after difference is dramatic — what was once an unstable setup is now a secure, sharp-looking steel staircase that enhances the property from every angle.
