The transition to your basement should feel as finished and inviting as the space itself—which is why we build and remodel basement stairs that are safe, stylish, and seamlessly integrated. At Utah Basement Finishing, we specialize in stairway construction that complements your overall basement design. Whether you’re starting fresh or upgrading an outdated staircase, we ensure form meets function.
Why Invest in Finished Basement Stairs?
Stairs are more than just a way to get downstairs—they’re part of the first impression of your finished basement. Properly constructed and well-designed stairs enhance safety, accessibility, and the overall visual flow between floors.
Benefits of upgrading your basement staircase:
- Improves safety and meets updated building codes
- Adds a polished, cohesive look to your home interior
- Supports layout flow to spaces like basement living rooms or bedrooms
- Makes a dramatic design impact when paired with lighting and railings
- Essential part of full basement finishing or remodeling
Custom Stair Designs for Every Basement
Our team designs basement stairs around your space, floor plan, and aesthetic. Whether you’re working with a tight corner, a long open run, or a split-level entrance, we tailor the stair structure to fit your needs and code requirements.
| Stair Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Straight Run | Clean, linear design that fits most layouts |
| L-Shaped / Turned | Efficient use of space with a landing or 90° turn |
| Open or Closed Riser | Open for light and modern look, closed for storage and safety |
| Finished Underside | Option to add storage, closets, or decorative elements below stairs |
| Custom Railings | Wood, iron, cable, or composite to match your style |
We ensure your stairs are not only beautiful but structurally sound and code-compliant, including proper tread depth, riser height, and handrail requirements.
Finishes That Match Your Vision
Your staircase should complement the rooms it connects. We offer a wide range of finishing materials and options that match the look and feel of your basement and upper floors.
Popular finish options:
- Stained or painted wood treads
- Carpet runners for comfort and traction
- Modern steel or cable railing systems
- Integrated LED lighting for safety and aesthetics
