The issue of making a staircase is relevant for owners of houses with two or more floors. Many shops offer ready-made options, but some customers prefer to order stairs according to their own design. In this case, it is important to know how to choose the right company for the production of stairs.
The main criteria for choosing a company
To order a high-quality and reliable ladder, follow these recommendations when choosing a company:
1. The experience of the firm must be impressive. When visiting the office, you need to familiarize yourself with the portfolio, see samples of work, read customer reviews. Here you need to prepare for the fact that reputable companies usually set the corresponding prices for their products. If a staircase is needed for a cottage, you need to pay attention that the company specializes in private housing construction.
2. A good company will be able to immediately offer a variety of options for the client to choose from. If they are all of the same type, it is hardly worth giving your time to this company. It can be assumed that the choice of materials and the quality of work will also not be up to par. Employees of a good company should not be intimidated by the need for any redevelopment associated with the installation of the stairs. Firms that simply resell products will not be able to take on this kind of work.
3. A quality product, especially a custom-made product, cannot be cheap. A good staircase that will last for decades will be made of quality materials. They also cannot be cheap. Reputable companies will give guarantees for their products, will definitely provide installation services and even offer additional annual maintenance. But the guarantee is usually provided only when the installation was carried out by employees of the same company.
What to do if a ladder is urgently needed?
If you urgently need a ladder, you can use one of the following options:
1. Make the ladder yourself. At first glance, it might seem like the cheapest option. It is only important to take into account that for the manufacture of stairs you will need not only material, but also a power tool. If there is no such tool, then you shouldn't even start the whole process. In addition, making a staircase is a very painstaking and time-consuming job that takes a lot of time. You cannot vouch for the result, especially if this is the first experience in making stairs. Besides, not having certain skills, you can just spoil the material and waste your time.
2. Contact a joiner who already has experience in this business. It is important to familiarize yourself with examples of his work and assess whether the workmanship is suitable. It is even better if there is an opportunity to talk with the former customers of this carpenter to find out how the product proved to be in long-term use.
3. Purchase a ladder from a hardware store. In this case, the dimensions of the product must exactly correspond to the room in which the staircase will be installed. The most important thing is not to be mistaken with the material and color of the product, as well as with the design.
The safest option is to order a ladder from a specialized company. A specialist visits the client's house and makes clear measurements. Already at this stage, the client can choose an approximate staircase design, discuss the appearance of the finished product with a specialist. You can also immediately order an individual project, which will be developed based on the characteristics of the room and its size. In this case, the installation of the stairs will be as simple as possible.
