My stairs are original. Should I replace them?

If stringers are soft at the base or the handrail is loose, replacement is usually the safer option. We inspect and advise.

Can steps be built into my landscaping?

Yes. We build garden steps with retaining walls, paving and landscaping.

Do my Merrimac outdoor stairs need a handrail?

It depends on the stair height and the drop at the side. We design to suit your stair's height and use.

How long does it take to replace outdoor stairs?

A typical deck stair can often be replaced in a few days. Larger external access stairs with landings take longer, and certification time is added where required.

Can I keep using the house while stairs are replaced?

Where a stair is the only access, we plan the work to minimise downtime and discuss temporary arrangements before starting.

Replacing outdoor stairs in Merrimac

A lot of the stair work we quote in Merrimac is replacing stairs that have simply worn out in the weather.

Merrimac is a central, well-priced suburb close to Robina and Broadbeach that has become popular with renovating owner-occupiers.

The housing includes 1980s and 1990s low-set brick homes, canal-adjacent properties near the Nerang River and a growing number of townhouses.

Handrails, balustrades and landings are designed in to suit the height and use of the stair.

Outdoor stair options in Merrimac

Replacing older stairs

In established suburbs, many outdoor stairs are original timber that has reached the end of its life. Replacement with new stringers, treads and handrails is a common and worthwhile safety upgrade.

Landings

Intermediate landings for longer or higher stairs, or where the stair changes direction.

Deck and verandah stairs

New stairs to match a new or existing deck, or a replacement where the old stair has failed first.

External access stairs

Stairs to upper levels and elevated homes with proper footings, landings, handrails and balustrades.

Handrails and balustrades

Designed to suit the height of the stair and the drop at the side, where required.
