DAXSTOWStair & rail carpentry

A stair visit

Good work starts
with a walk upstairs.

Daxstow is a small carpentry service for the parts of a staircase you live with every day. We make time to understand the movement, the noise and your household’s routine.

From the first creak to cleanup

  1. Show us what you noticed.

    We agree on a time for a free 30–45 minute visit. Walk us through the noisy tread, loose spindle or post. We look at how the parts meet and measure anything that needs replacing.

  2. Read the plan.

    Your written estimate names the repair, the materials and any access we need underneath. We discuss finish matching and the limits of working with an existing staircase.

  3. Make room for the day.

    We agree on working hours, protect the nearby floor and keep tools in one work area. Most small repairs take half a day; a rail or runner usually takes one day after materials arrive.

  4. Walk through the result.

    We show you what was done, remove the offcuts and explain when each part can be used. If something about our workmanship needs another look, tell us and we’ll check it.

Working around your household

Let’s plan the
way up and down.

Tell us if this is the only route to bedrooms or a bathroom. Before the workday, bring downstairs anything you will need while the flight is closed.

We agree on access breaks before starting. No one uses the stairs during fastening, fitting or when a finish needs to set. We explain any overnight closure in the estimate; if the household cannot manage it, we choose another plan or date.

Keep pets out of the work area. We clean up before each agreed access break.

November planning / December arrivals

Tell us when the guests arrive.

For work before December 18, 2026, ask by December 4. Runner orders, shaped rails and finish work may need more lead time. We confirm the finish date after the visit and material check. If that date will not work, we say so before you book.

Visits and work: Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm, by appointment in Maple Crossing.

A quieter stair starts with a look.

Tell us what moves, what squeaks and when the stairs are in use.
