Georgetown & Austin, TX
Custom Steel Stair Fabrication in Central Texas
From our Georgetown fabrication shop, we build mono-stringer stairs, double-stringer stairs, floating-style staircases, landings, tread supports and job-specific steel stair assemblies from approved drawings and verified project dimensions.
Steel Stairs Built for Strength, Fit and Daily Use
A custom steel staircase must fit the available space, support the intended loads and maintain consistent geometry from the first step to the finished floor.
Precision Fabshop works with homeowners, builders, general contractors, designers, architects and project teams that need steel stairs fabricated around approved plans and actual project conditions.
We focus on accurate stair layout, dependable structural connections, consistent tread support, proper mounting locations and practical installation planning. Every staircase is reviewed according to its floor-to-floor height, available run, width, landings, stringer configuration, tread material, railing system, finish and installation requirements.
Steel Stair Components and Structural Supports
Precision Fabshop can fabricate individual stair components or a coordinated steel stair assembly.
- HSS tubing stair stringers
- Plate or channel stringers
- Mono-stringer support systems
- Double-stringer support systems
- Welded tread-support arms
- Steel tread plates and pans
- Landing frames and platforms
- Support columns and posts
- Base plates and connection plates
- Wall-mounting plates and brackets
- Floor and slab connection plates
- Gussets and stiffeners
- Guardrail and handrail mounting points
- Custom steel trim and closure components
- Bolted or welded field connections
All components are fabricated according to the approved dimensions, material specifications, connection details, weld requirements and finish.
Steel Stair Tread and Finish-Tread Options
The stair structure and final tread material must be planned together. Tread thickness, attachment points, overhangs, clearances and finished elevations affect the steel support layout.
Depending on the project, stair tread options may include:
- Wood treads installed over steel support plates
- Solid steel plate treads
- Formed steel tread pans
- Bar-grating treads
- Safety-grating or perforated metal treads
- Concrete-filled steel tread pans
- Customer-supplied finish treads
- Custom tread-support frames
Wood, stone, glass, concrete and other finish materials may be provided by another contractor unless specifically included in our proposal.
The final tread dimensions and attachment requirements should be confirmed before the stair steel is released for fabrication.
Custom Handrails and Guardrails for Steel Stairs
Precision Fabshop can coordinate the stair structure with a matching handrail or guardrail system. Planning the stair and railing together helps establish post locations, mounting plates, transitions, attachment details and finished elevations.
Available railing styles may include:
- Horizontal steel railings
- Vertical picket railings
- Wall-mounted steel handrails
- Cable railing frames
- Glass railing support systems
- Steel guardrails for landings and open sides
- Exterior commercial handrails and guardrails
- Custom railing transitions and terminations
Cable, glass, specialty hardware and finish materials are included only when identified in the proposal.
Engineering, Project Requirements and Stair Safety
Steel stairs, landings, handrails and guardrails are life-safety components. Requirements vary accor
The project documents should identify:
- Floor-to-floor height
- Available stair run
- Stair width
- Rise and run
- Headroom
- Landing dimensions
- Stringer configuration
- Structural loading requirements
- Stringer sizes and support conditions
- Tread material and thickness
- Connection details
- Anchor requirements
- Handrail requirements
- Guardrail requirements
- Opening limitations
- Finish requirements
- Inspection requirements
- Applicable project codes and standards
Precision Fabshop fabricates according to approved drawings and defined project requirements. We do not assume structural loads, connection designs, code classifications or required stair geometry that are not identified in the project information.
When engineering or sealed drawings are required, we can coordinate with a third-party licensed engineer. Engineering is not represented as an in-house service.
Permitting, code review, engineering approval and final inspection are handled by the responsible owner, contractor or design professional unless specifically included in our scope.
Steel Stair Materials and Finish Options
Steel stair systems can be fabricated from HSS tubing, structural channel, plate, angle, flat bar, steel tread pans and other materials specified in the project drawings.
Available finish options may include:
- Raw steel
- Cleaned and prepared steel
- Shop primer
- DTM primer and finish paint
- Clear-coated steel when appropriate
- Cold-galvanizing coatings
- Hot-dip galvanizing coordination
- Powder-coating coordination
- Project-specified coating systems
Interior and exterior stair systems may require different surface preparation, coatings and maintenance expectations. Finish requirements should be identified before pricing because coatings can affect fabrication, handling, transportation, installation and production time.
Final colors, gloss levels, textures and specialty coating requirements should be selected before the staircase enters finishing.

Steel Stair FAQs
Do you fabricate mono-stringer and double-stringer stairs?
Yes. We fabricate mono-stringer, double-stringer and other custom steel stair configurations from approved drawings and verified project dimensions.
Do you build floating staircases?
We fabricate floating-style and open-riser steel stair systems. These stairs still require properly designed structural supports, connections and anchoring.
Can you design and engineer my staircase?
We can help organize the fabrication scope and coordinate with a third-party licensed engineer when required. Engineering is not represented as an in-house service.
Can you fabricate stairs from my architect’s drawings?
Yes, provided the drawings contain the dimensions, structural requirements, connections, materials and other information required for fabrication.
Can you install wood treads?
Wood treads and other finish materials can be coordinated depending on the project. The proposal will identify whether Precision Fabshop or another contractor is supplying and installing them.
Do you fabricate handrails and guardrails?
Yes. We fabricate steel handrails, guardrails, cable-railing frames and glass-railing support systems for appropriate stair projects.
Do you provide delivery and installation?
Yes. Delivery, equipment, field fit-up, anchoring, welding and installation can be quoted according to the project location and scope.
Can you fabricate exterior steel stairs?
Yes. We fabricate exterior stairs for appropriate residential, commercial, shop, mezzanine and property-access applications based on approved drawings.
How much does a custom steel staircase cost?
Pricing depends on the stair configuration, floor-to-floor height, material sizes, tread plan, landings, railing system, finish, engineering, delivery and installation requirements. Complete project information is needed for an accurate quote.
How long does fabrication take?
Production time depends on drawing approval, engineering, material availability, stair complexity, finish, installation requirements and the current shop schedule.
