About

I have been working in the trades since 1976. I am originally from Boston (yes, that’s where I got my cool accent!) and have done a lot of restoration work on some really old homes, several going back to the early 1800s. My experience and training lends itself well to the problems inherent in existing designs and being able to solve these while staying within the integrity of the design.

Portland Stair Company is one of the only companies specializing in stair systems. One day I realized that I was being asked to do more stair jobs than anything else and found that I loved the challenge of doing stair systems. I decided to focus on stair systems and over the last ten years, Portland Stair Company has built a few thousand staircase systems for satisfied clients in the Portland Metro area.

Portland Stair Company will advise on an existing staircase and can do any stair job, large (full staircase), or small (hanging a wall rail). I have a professional installation staff who are solution-oriented, courteous, and competent. We work quickly and efficiently, tidying up as we go.

A constant stream of new clients depends upon each job being done well. Our clients are happy and often surprised at how beautiful their new staircase is. When we begin with a new client, we find that we frequently have a better idea of what we can do for them than they do themselves. This is due to our experience and our ability to envision what it is the client wants. We then work with the client on a budget and design concerns until the client is certain of what we will be doing for him.
