Chicagoland Suburbs
Founded in a Naperville garage in 1969, Designed Stairs grew alongside the suburbs. 55+ years later, you would be hard-pressed to find a Chicago suburban town without a Designed Stairs installed — from Waukegan to Woodstock, Rockford to Ottawa, and Yorkville to New Lenox, Tinley Park, and the Fox River Valley.
We serve homeowners, builders, architects, designers, and remodelers across the Chicago suburbs with custom stair design, fabrication, and installation.
Services throughout Chicagoland may include custom stairs, curved staircases, railing remodels, fabricated stair-and-rail kits, stair parts, and complete stair-and-rail packages.

Designed Stairs works throughout Chicago and nearby suburbs, including Lincoln Park, Southport, Lakeview, Wrigleyville, Gold Coast, West Loop, Fulton Market, River North, Near North, Old Town, Hyde Park, Kenwood, South Loop, The Loop, Deerfield, Prospect Heights, Grayslake, Barrington, Lindenhurst, Prairie Grove, and other Chicagoland communities.
Chicago stair projects often involve constraints that are easy to miss early in design.
Some city homes have narrow lots, stacked floor plans, tight stair openings, or older framing that does not match drawings. Remodels may require new railings or stair parts that look right with existing trim, flooring, and wall finishes. Modern homes may require floating stairs, open risers, glass railings, cable rails, or custom metal details that need structural planning before fabrication.
Designed Stairs helps builders, designers, architects, and homeowners make those decisions early, when changes are easier and less expensive to manage.
Services in Chicago and Chicagoland may include custom stairs, curved staircases, railing remodels, stair parts, modern stair systems, historic detail matching, and builder-led stair projects.

Designed Stairs serves Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Evanston, Glenview, Northbrook, Lake Bluff, Skokie, and surrounding North Shore communities.
In Chicago’s North Shore communities, a staircase is often one of the most important architectural features in the home. It affects the first impression, the way rooms connect, the amount of light moving through the interior, and the overall level of craftsmanship people expect from a high-end residence.
North Shore homes often require more planning than a standard stair replacement. Many properties have larger foyers, custom floor plans, architect-designed interiors, historic millwork, or modern open layouts where the staircase is highly visible from multiple rooms.
Designed Stairs supports these projects with planning, field measuring, custom manufacturing, railing coordination, and experienced installation.
Services on the North Shore may include luxury curved stairs, open-riser stairs, floating stairs, glass railing systems, historic stair reproductions, formal hardwood stairs, and custom architectural stair packages.

Designed Stairs creates custom staircases for homes throughout Naperville, Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Burr Ridge, Downers Grove, Elmhurst, and Chicago’s western suburbs.
For homeowners, builders, architects, and designers planning a high-end home in DuPage County, the staircase is not just a structural requirement. It affects the home’s first impression, floor-plan flow, safety, finish quality, and long-term value.
Designed Stairs has deep roots in Naperville and the western suburbs. The company’s early work began in Naperville subdivisions, and as the area grew, Designed Stairs grew with it, providing stair work for many upper-bracket homes throughout the region.
Today, that local history still matters. Designed Stairs understands the homes, builders, architectural expectations, and finish standards common in DuPage County’s luxury residential market.

Designed Stairs serves Wisconsin communities including Milwaukee, Madison, Lake Geneva, Waukesha, Brookfield, Mequon, Oconomowoc, Middleton, Verona, Lake Country, and nearby areas.
Wisconsin homes vary widely, and that variety affects stair design.
A lake home may need a stair that preserves views and natural light. A Milwaukee-area renovation may need new stair parts that respect older millwork. A Madison custom home may call for clean modern lines, glass railings, or open-riser construction. A luxury estate may need a curved staircase that becomes a main architectural feature.
Designed Stairs helps turn those goals into stair systems that are buildable, properly measured, and manufactured for the real job site.
Services in Wisconsin may include lake home stairs, estate staircases, curved stairs, open-riser stairs, floating stair systems, traditional hardwood stairs, spiral stairs, and historic stair or railing reproduction.
