A Simple Step to Impress – The Importance of the Starting Step

Take your staircase from boring to extraordinary with a simple starter step. The central staircase in your home should greet you with elegance and character and make a grand statement. Investing in a beautiful starting step is a great way to instantly update and enhance your staircase.

Whether you are interested in replacing your entire staircase or you would just like to enhance the existing features of your existing structure, StairpartsUSA.com offers quality, hand-crafted, American-made starter steps that will transform your staircase.

When choosing your starting step it is important to know which newel post you intend to mount on it. The standard-sized starting step is usually used with an over-the-post balustrade system and most often utilizes a volute meaning the post will sit on top of the step instead of being incorporated into the structure. Larger starting steps look best when a prominent box newel is built in conjunction with the piece enhancing the look of the banister and making the first step truly stand out.

StairpartsUSA.com offers both double-ended and single-ended starting steps in American Cherry, Brazilian Cherry, Hickory, Maple, Red Oak, White Oak, and other species by request.
Many other companies will charge extra for starter steps and limit the kinds of wood they will work with. This is not true for stairpartsUSA.com. We include the curved molding for no extra charge and our craftsmen will work with any material by request.

If you aren’t replacing your entire staircase and would like to just replace the starter step, we can create a curved starter step at your request using whatever materials your stairs were originally built from.

If you have any questions or need assistance in finding products, please call us. We are happy and ready to help you transform your staircase.
