From your camera angle (while you were talking to the camera) I keep looking at the finished product and to me it looks like the stair landing is intruding into entryway. Were they built to be sticking out passed the wall? At 4:20 I can see the two stairs sticking out into the narrow area. I wouldn’t like the setup. It’s a beautiful set of stairs though. Solidly built.
Not sure if this holds true in the US, but in the Netherlands there are specific regulations for staircases. The depth and height difference of the steps must be between certain values to pass. I'm guessing that's what's going on here as well.
@@bnaction "Look at the elevation, it's already at 45 degree angle. Any steeper, it's a ladder." Exactly. IIRC 48 deg is considered a "space saver" stair by OSHA and is the MAX angle you can go and still be considered "stairs". Typical "steep" residential stairs (IMO) start at around 42 deg on up. Decent residental stairs go from about 36 to 38 degrees.... ...and commercial/public stairs I think are around 32 degrees.
This is a 8500$cad job up here, installation + tx included fpr a 15stairs setup (but with 2inches thick stairs). I contracted a very similar setup. I think what's blowing the bill here are the stairs, 2inches thick stairs oiled and finished are 4x the cost of 1inch thick. These look like 3inches!, grooved underneath and all, there's probably 6000-7000$ worth of wood in that thing. nice job.
12.5k is a good deal? Get your numbers straight. I have put an identical stair in for less than 3.5k, including labour and shipping. Another one similar to this but with a 180 degree turn and a center platform for less than 4.5k. All metal center stringers, hardwood but without railing.
Base MSRP of a Harley 883 Sportster is about 10,000 USD. If something cost more than that with far fewer parts, tolerances, etc etc...you might be paying to much. It's like paying retail for a snapon toolbox... Don't do it.
We are in the early stages of purchasing this product. The company has been great so far. Before retirement I worked in a machine shop and had friends in the weld and Fab shop. Yes I could have had this built for a fraction of the cost if I still worked there. And it somewhat pains me to know that. But you still need an engineer to sign off on the design and get your municipality to accept it. Still have to buy the railing and treads and get it powder coated. Hey take the video to a weld fabrication shop and ask them how much to make one. We are doing a gut renovation of a townhouse at the Jersey shore. I found this on Matt's video from the home show a few months back. Showed it to my wife and she was sold. That's all that matters.
Very cool Tony! This is a family owned company and they are providing a very nice product at a reasonable cost. I think you’ll be happy with your stairs.
@@dm7g well if those are " Rich people" They should have picked better than a $400 front door. ;) Lol That's a cookie cutter cheap vinyl sided home. That's not rich.. lol..
Update. received our order from Viewrail on April 15th. unpacked it. One tigerwood tread cover for our traditional steps at the top of our staircase cracked in half. Rods of rod rail were stainless not black as my wife said we ordered - I don't remember. Emailed company with pic of tread and wrong rod color. Reply: No problem we will send rods right out and tread as soon as it is manufactured - about 4 weeks but maybe sooner. On good Friday I was going to bolt the foot plate and the head plate to the stringer but could not find the bolts. emailed customer service again. No problem we'll ship monday. They are growing really fast and made some mistakes. But I am very happy with the process so far and looking forward to installing myself with a helper. The Tigerwood tread are stunning just sitting on the floor of our gutted townhouse I can only imagine what they will look like on the stringer.
@@notafanboy250 New rods came in a few days. New Tiger Wood tread showed up today. Haven't had a chance to even open the box yet. I am doing most of the work myself on the whole town house renovation. I have a chain fall in place to lift the stringer and actually had it in place but let it down as i have to re-frame the second floor wall adjacent to the stringer. Been working on large windows in the unit. probably will get back to the stairs in a few weeks. I don't foresee any other problems. Are you considering this type of stairs? Have any specific questions?
@@lrc87290 Oh awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. No, I just really liked them and am tucking away all this random info in my head for further down the road when I end up with the ideal house but thanks for offering to answer questions. Hope your project turns out well.
Looks great! Price seems steep to me (no pun intended) :) but it does make a beautiful stairway and amazing that it only took a day. For the right project, this would be perfect.
I am amazed at the number of nasty, negative comments made by people on here! The stairs are incredible, super-strong, well-made, and NOT expensive, based on what you're getting. I am about to order a switch-back set for a design client--second time I've ordered a set from ViewRail for a client.
Nice that’s an $18,000 project in NYC with out cnc manually fabricated huge oven to for powder coating 4 day to complete and installed. 2 guys. nicely done gents
Just got a current quote from ViewRail for this same setup for my renovation: As of 05/13/22 my rough quote was 24k for a built stair case, PLUS installation starts at 24k - WTF!!?? Maybe Matt can hook me up with his $12.5k Price 😁
Same. Something is not adding up here. My Viewrail quote just came back for a similar setup at $27,900. And that is with the new 2023 stairs that use a solid plywood core instead of solid wood. @buildshow How are you getting that cheap of price?
I am in the process of completing my project: single stringer, 13 steps: £800 for metal, a packet of cutting 1mm discs, 2 boxes of 7018. £600 wood, 2 weeks. Not sure about the railing yet, as we have not designed these yet
@@JR-iy7pb Bit of the overkill: 100x100x10mm - but it does not flex at all and was a real pleasure to weld. Consider a 6mm thin wall, some say even 3mm should suffice.
Nice stairs, look very nice. Here in New England I would pay at least that to build a traditional stair with red oak tread, oak handrail, oak risers, balusters, and oak or mahogany rail. So at least in my area, this isn’t too expensive. The cable rail is very expensive, and I use it frequently in waterfront homes on an interior stairs. There is at least $3K worth of just cable rail on this application. Beautiful look, thanks for the video!
What about doing this lower cost? I' have a plan for my basement stairs to accomplish something similar However we haven't reached that phase to try it out... My idea was to join a bunch of stringers together with either glue/nails/screws to make it thick as a block... Then paint it black... Then use steel platform and screw/bolt the threads...
Nice ! Mr. Matt... Great video lesson! Happy to see that the strap didn't break / slip while u were holding the base. Oh man o man you coulda got pinned to the wall buddy ro' 😳
Metal volumes for that much stair don't cost that much, I think its the engineering, design patent and state-of-the-art-machineries used for making them with micro precisions that elevated the costs to that height. .
Ripoff, a 30 foot I beam is $750 in NY, I don’t know how they got to 12.5k without even shipping. I do t think It cost the manufacturer even 2k to complete
For real. It's an I beam with a few posts and brackets. I'm sure it's worth it for the builder, it's a bolt on job! But anyone that willingly shells out this much money to save their contractor a few hours of headache diying it is an idiot.
do they only do a straight run of stairs??did you have option of turning first three stairs so they wouldnt take away space from passage from entrance to living space

Hello. We have metal/steel stairs at home connecting the living room to the loft. It make a lot of noise even if I try to walk on it very lightly. Is there any way I can permanently get rid of the 'clanging metal' sound? Will tightening of the bolts help as well? Thanks.
God all these videos make me depressed. I went to college got EE degree, lived at home to avoid debt, graduated with no debt and a just a little money in the bank (like a couple thousand tops). Started working a white-collar job, saved pennies and lived frugally, lived in an apartment for a year (with a roommate!), bought a starter house (its a crap house) also with a roommate. And like... these stairs just these stairs alone cost over 12k?!?!? WTF....?!?!?!? I swear to god these ppl must live in a different stratosphere from me. Idk what I'm missing how do ppl afford houses like this. Like Jesus... I see these vids about how airtight houses are and how attics should be and I'm like 'hah' I'm prob making above avg income and my house has literal 1/8" air gaps around patio doors where air leaks like crazy cause some idiot installed an interior door on the exterior of the house... my bathroom fans are vented to attic. Shower pans have cracks in them. Carpet is 30 years old and smells of cat pee from previous owners. We had a cracked floor joist. HVAC/water heater are all over 20 years old and ticking time bombs. I have to light the stove to cook on with a candle lighter... Like and that was with me saving for over a year and buying the most affordable house I could... I swear to god these ppl are in a different stratosphere...
They are in a different stratosphere! but, there is so much you can do on your own, weather stripping and a door sweep can be installed easily and cheaply, they may not look as nice as a brand new pre-hung steel entry door, but it'll still save you money on heating and cooling. Caulking around windows can save money as well. You can get patch kits for those shower pans, the patches don't look pretty but they work. If you have a vent port on your exhaust fans you can get vent hoses and a vent covers and vent that exhaust to the outside (it's on my list for my old house) A little more expensive, but can be done piecemeal, rip out that carpet and put down a floating floor, do it room by room as you have the money and in a few months all the floors can be brand new, plus, if you are on a crawl the vapor barrier should help with air leaks!
I know you can get 1000sq ft of decent flooring when it's on sale/clearance for about $700. If you're going to buy it buy it all at once otherwise it will be hard to match... Also check your Habitat for Humanity stores. I live between two but only one of them is good...
Emily Carlsen I absolutely feel your pain! My house is over 100 years old. A typical New Orleans double shotgun house. I cannot wait to afford a new house built with modern technology and standards. Although every time I bitch about this house, I have remind myself to be thankful that I, as an early 80s millennial, actually own a home.
Big changes start with little efforts. Repairing the igniters on your gas cooktop could cost less than $50 in parts, an afternoon of your time and using tools you likely already have. TH-cam is a massive resource for the DIY inclined.
Hi Matt if I have an outdoor steel stairs and I repaint it twice a year how long will those stairs last before I need to replace them because my house was built in 2003?
I am astounded that you don't talk about the staircase header plate attached at the second floor landing! At 2:50 you talk about 'bolting' into the vertical plate but there is no reference to how the plate was installed, how long that took and if that is or is not part of the staircase purchase. How did that plate get there? Did the manufacturer send it to you earlier so you mount it? I don't see this as a one day start-to-finish job. It's primarily an assembly, not a build. Also, how was it attached at the bottom? This is more of a advertorial which means I hope you got a really big break on the price of the staircase. Great job, beautiful unit.
Any issues with code and the horizontal rod rails? I had started looking into horizontal railing but was discouraged by an architect saying it wouldn't pass code in my area.
Matthew Schrenk that sounds like a crappy local code. The standard IRC just requires a 4 inch sphere test on the railing and a 6 inch sphere test on the triangle between the railing and the treads.
Matthew Schrenk horizontal rails are typically permitted in the code (IBC, IRC). But my experience (as a design professional) is that it will wholly depend on your plan review department, individual within that department, or inspector that comes out for inspections. A lot of them will argue saying it's not permitted because they don't like the idea, which isn't correct, but a lot of times it's easier to just give in and do it their way rather than argue. Unfortunately we are forced to deal with "personal objections" from people that are not explicitly against code.
Everyone is complaining about the cost. And those of you saying you could build this for $3500 are full of it. First off, go look up the cost of 16/4 lumber. 16 treads alone are going to run you $3800 (inc shipping). Secondly $200 PER tread is for oak, you want an exotic it gets closer to $450 per tread shipped.
I don't want to disclose what a 38 tread/5 landing similar steel/floating tread stair system cost to custom build on-site. Not to mention the countless hours lost due to other trades being unable to access areas of the job site due to the stairs being fabricated/adjusted.
What 16/4 lumber? Those treads are 6 piece glue-ups. Even with the dark stain, the glue lines are visible on the treads and ends. They don't seem to have bothered to grain or color match, so some of the joints really stand out. As far as that goes, my hardwood supplier only charges a small premium for 16/4 maple. He doesn't normally stock much because there isn't a lot of demand for it. If you need a whole sling of it, it will take a while to source.
Matt, it was difficult to tell in the video, but it appeared the distance from tread to tread left less than, or equal to, a four inch gap? I have had some clients wanting the "open" stair case and don't realize the risers have to have the aforementioned gap requirement. Still, interesting install and, yeah, a bit more pricey than a conventional stair install. But, one wants what one wants and, when the price is agreed on, all is good. :)
4" thick treads will cover you on that, even pushing it to the maximum 7 3/4" rise allowed by code. With a 3" tread, you're limited to a 7" or less rise to avoid a >4" gap. As with any staircase, the solution is unique to the situation.
I did a set in Canada vey similar 13,980$ it was a nightmare! Nice job!
Canadian rupees?
@@steamsteam6607 pretty sure they barter with maple leaves up there

It doesn't look right of course custom it can be made exactly so It's a good question why the bottom had to stick out across entryway?
Nothing you can do there, the architect made that wall too short. I don't think it looks bad.
It needs a turn around at the wall it is a terrible layout sticking out there
Not sure if this holds true in the US, but in the Netherlands there are specific regulations for staircases. The depth and height difference of the steps must be between certain values to pass. I'm guessing that's what's going on here as well.
@@bnaction "Look at the elevation, it's already at 45 degree angle. Any steeper, it's a ladder."
Exactly.
IIRC 48 deg is considered a "space saver" stair by OSHA and is the MAX angle you can go and still be considered "stairs".
Typical "steep" residential stairs (IMO) start at around 42 deg on up.
Decent residental stairs go from about 36 to 38 degrees....

Shower pans have cracks in them. Carpet is 30 years old and smells of cat pee from previous owners. We had a cracked floor joist. HVAC/water heater are all over 20 years old and ticking time bombs. I have to light the stove to cook on with a candle lighter... Like and that was with me saving for over a year and buying the most affordable house I could... I swear to god these ppl are in a different stratosphere...
They are in a different stratosphere!
but, there is so much you can do on your own, weather stripping and a door sweep can be installed easily and cheaply, they may not look as nice as a brand new pre-hung steel entry door, but it'll still save you money on heating and cooling.
Caulking around windows can save money as well.
You can get patch kits for those shower pans, the patches don't look pretty but they work.
If you have a vent port on your exhaust fans you can get vent hoses and a vent covers and vent that exhaust to the outside (it's on my list for my old house)
A little more expensive, but can be done piecemeal, rip out that carpet and put down a floating floor, do it room by room as you have the money and in a few months all the floors can be brand new, plus, if you are on a crawl the vapor barrier should help with air leaks!
I know you can get 1000sq ft of decent flooring when it's on sale/clearance for about $700. If you're going to buy it buy it all at once otherwise it will be hard to match...
Also check your Habitat for Humanity stores. I live between two but only one of them is good...
It's the American weigh.
Emily Carlsen I absolutely feel your pain! My house is over 100 years old. A typical New Orleans double shotgun house. I cannot wait to afford a new house built with modern technology and standards. Although every time I bitch about this house, I have remind myself to be thankful that I, as an early 80s millennial, actually own a home.
Big changes start with little efforts. Repairing the igniters on your gas cooktop could cost less than $50 in parts, an afternoon of your time and using tools you likely already have. TH-cam is a massive resource for the DIY inclined.
Hi Matt if I have an outdoor steel stairs and I repaint it twice a year how long will those stairs last before I need to replace them because my house was built in 2003?
hi..how thick is that thread?
How do you figure out the measurements and degree cuts for the stringers when building stair cases
systematic will make it practically cheap
for example, IKEA closet or extendable table.
this one is fully a la carte
12.5……. 🧐…. Not too bad…. I just use a rope to get up to my second level. Installing a fireman’s pole next week.
How does the center beam is fixed to the upper landing?
I am astounded that you don't talk about the staircase header plate attached at the second floor landing! At 2:50 you talk about 'bolting' into the vertical plate but there is no reference to how the plate was installed, how long that took and if that is or is not part of the staircase purchase. How did that plate get there? Did the manufacturer send it to you earlier so you mount it? I don't see this as a one day start-to-finish job. It's primarily an assembly, not a build. Also, how was it attached at the bottom? This is more of a advertorial which means I hope you got a really big break on the price of the staircase. Great job, beautiful unit.
Great video Keith. So how is the MFT table shaping up?
can you plz tell the hardware n material which you used
The price is insane and certainly not a savings!
What about grip rail on wall and why does stair project into hall way?
The IKEA .. construction level. Nice!
Union ironworker ... give me 3 hrs and I'll have it installed 3 guys...
Any issues with code and the horizontal rod rails? I had started looking into horizontal railing but was discouraged by an architect saying it wouldn't pass code in my area.
Probably because children can climb up on them.
They might be able to get away with it because of the angle, it's a good question.
Matthew Schrenk that sounds like a crappy local code. The standard IRC just requires a 4 inch sphere test on the railing and a 6 inch sphere test on the triangle between the railing and the treads.
Matthew Schrenk horizontal rails are typically permitted in the code (IBC, IRC). But my experience (as a design professional) is that it will wholly depend on your plan review department, individual within that department, or inspector that comes out for inspections. A lot of them will argue saying it's not permitted because they don't like the idea, which isn't correct, but a lot of times it's easier to just give in and do it their way rather than argue.
Unfortunately we are forced to deal with "personal objections" from people that are not explicitly against code.
@@jeffreyeichert this is the useful information I was looking for.
Everyone is complaining about the cost. And those of you saying you could build this for $3500 are full of it. First off, go look up the cost of 16/4 lumber. 16 treads alone are going to run you $3800 (inc shipping). Secondly $200 PER tread is for oak, you want an exotic it gets closer to $450 per tread shipped.
Agreed. I thought the cost was really good for this level of product
I don't want to disclose what a 38 tread/5 landing similar steel/floating tread stair system cost to custom build on-site. Not to mention the countless hours lost due to other trades being unable to access areas of the job site due to the stairs being fabricated/adjusted.
@@dyer1029 Gotta be pushing 75k
What 16/4 lumber? Those treads are 6 piece glue-ups. Even with the dark stain, the glue lines are visible on the treads and ends. They don't seem to have bothered to grain or color match, so some of the joints really stand out. As far as that goes, my hardwood supplier only charges a small premium for 16/4 maple. He doesn't normally stock much because there isn't a lot of demand for it. If you need a whole sling of it, it will take a while to source.
Hey Matt, awesome vid. I am curious of the thickness of the beam. Is it 3/16” thick?
Yes. 6x8" tube, 3/16" thick
Is this an optical illusion or is the bottom-most rod bent at the third stair?
Awesome job! What kind of floor is that on the first floor?
What is this Company called. Do they work in Seminole county Florida.
What are the support requirements?
Price is a total nightmare ripp off. I did not expect it to go over £4000. I'm sure you can build a much better staircase for £2000 from a joiner.
Matt, it was difficult to tell in the video, but it appeared the distance from tread to tread left less than, or equal to, a four inch gap?
I have had some clients wanting the "open" stair case and don't realize the risers have to have the aforementioned gap requirement.
Still, interesting install and, yeah, a bit more pricey than a conventional stair install.
But, one wants what one wants and, when the price is agreed on, all is good. :)
4" thick treads will cover you on that, even pushing it to the maximum 7 3/4" rise allowed by code. With a 3" tread, you're limited to a 7" or less rise to avoid a >4" gap. As with any staircase, the solution is unique to the situation.
Thanks, I've had a few clients who mention open staircases and wonder why I can't design one totally open.
:)
And how much it was the labor cost ???
Now that I know that I can build this for under 3k, I think it'd be worth it for me to do it in my own house myself....
12k...wow
Screw that, 12k for that small set of stairs? Is that supposed to be a good price?
