Staircase joinery timber cost NSW depends heavily on the species and the design. A budget treated-pine carpet-ready staircase typically starts around $2,500. A standard residential hardwood staircase in Tasmanian oak or American oak with closed risers and a continuous handrail typically runs $8,000 to $20,000. Floating staircases with steel stringers, hardwood treads, and glass-panel balustrades sit $18,000 to $40,000. Complex curved or geometric stairs in premium hardwood with bespoke balustrade can reach $30,000 to $50,000. Lead time is four to six weeks for a straight stair, up to twelve weeks for curved work.

Australian timber furniture joinery species selection on a staircase matters more than on almost any other piece — the stairs see daily impact, drag from shoes, sun exposure on landings, and they are the most visually dominant joinery element in the home. We work in Tasmanian oak, Victorian ash, Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, American oak, and treated pine where carpet is going down. Each species is kiln-dried and acclimatised in our workshop before machining, with grain direction marked on the shop drawing for every tread, riser, and stringer.
