A couple was building their dream shore home and needed access from their exterior pool terrace to the second-floor deck. They wanted a spiral stair, but desired a stair that would complement their architectural jewel. The cookie cutter stair visual was eliminated by wrapping the outside of treads with a beautiful stringer, complete with top and bottom trim. Some challenges were encountered in the design phase of this custom spiral stair that required some creativity to have the spiral interface correctly with the bottom and top terraces to meet building codes.

Completely designed in Marine Grade and Aircraft Grade Aluminum, then pre-treated and powder-coated with an environmentally friendly finish, yet will be able to withstand the harsh elements at the shore for the couple to enjoy for years of relaxing waterfront living.

Thanks to the Compass team. The original work that was done 12 years ago still looks great. Unfortunately, we had to remove the railings to install new pillars this year due to weather related issues with the stones. Compass removed the rails and reinstalled them after the repairs were done. All looks beautiful again.

We were thrilled to work with Compass again on our back porch project! The end result is gorgeous and the process was seem less. In a time characterized by delays, labor shortages and supply chain issues, Compass exceeded our expectations by providing a beautiful product and outstanding service in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Compass again in the future on all our metalwork needs.

Thank you so much again for your help!

Compass was very flexible when we changed our design. Quality was so wonderful, and unexpected.
We would never go to anyone else.

Amos, your team exceeded extremely high expectations. The stairs are the heart and soul of the house, and as the main focal point are a treasure to the owners and architect. Every visit is followed by “come see the stairs”. I know how challenging it was to build and install this masterpiece, having worked as a builder for 50 plus years, and admire how your crew stayed positive and focused throughout. I can’t wait for the next one!
