Houle s Custom Stairs and Railings has been building stairs and making railing for over 25 years. We personally do one job at a time , we are not your typical production stair shop that does not care about quality . We treat every stair job like it counts and quality is what we strive to achieve in the end. We still use the typical hand tools along with the basic machines used in cabinetry our methods for the building of the stairs goes way back . We still use hand routers with templates for milling but in the end its the hand s on method that achieves tight joinery , no squeaky stairs here. All of our stairs are completely sanded  with out blemish and ready for stain or paint .Our Railings are custom made per job and are straight without bows , our carved fittings are second to none assuring you they are custom layed out to fit your stair . these are not store bought with a random rise and run with wrong pitches .Our fittings are attached using a 5/16 thick hanger bolt and tightened using a 1/2 inch nut and washer from the underside for lasting strength and durability . We hardly ever have to miter the joints on railings this is a weak connection and looks cheap . our railing components have graceful round edges that are great to feel and look at.
