Quick answers about stairs

What's included

New staircases and full stair rebuilds, plus repairs to treads, risers, and stringers, new handrails, balusters, and newel posts, basement and attic stairs, and refinishing worn wooden steps. We check the framing, build to code, pull permits when needed, and clean up after.

Best for

Newark and northern New Jersey homeowners dealing with squeaky, worn, or unsafe stairs, a wobbly railing, or loose balusters, and anyone adding or finishing a space who needs a solid new staircase built by a licensed, insured crew.

Typical timeline

A railing fix or a few replaced treads is often a day, sometimes two. Refinishing a full run takes a little longer with drying time. A brand new staircase with custom railings can run several days. You get a realistic schedule before we start.

A 5.0-star rating from 40+ verified Google reviews from New Jersey homeowners who trusted us with their homes.

"After having a sudden water leak and having the whole house fall apart, I found the UCC team and Jeff was very professional from the very beginning. He was very attentive to everything that needs to be done and most importantly he understood my urgency and started working right away. Words can't even explain how grateful I am for the amazing work Yico and Patricio did. I am so happy with the UCC team and their work."
Ismot Tuba
"Professionally done work and the customer service is just as good as the work done. Jefferson and his crew are experts in their craft and more importantly he will explain to you everything that will be done in the project, and will work with you every step of the way. He accepted a home renovation project of mine and I was impressed by the work done, even with the weather challenges he and his crew had to overcome. Overall 11/10 rating in quality of work, customer service, pricing, everything. Highly recommend to anyone."
Raymond Garcia
"Jeff and the UCC team have been absolutely great. They are very respectful, responsive and they have very fair prices. To start, the UCC team helped remodel my basement. I had a lot of questions about the style, design, color etc and Jeff had nothing but patience with me. He helped answer every question I had and provided great recommendations. In addition to doing my basement, the team helped hang up tv's in my living room and basement. They also helped replace both my front and back doors and install storm doors. Overall, Jeff and the UCC team are extremely professional, helpful, fair and do a phenomenal job. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for great contractors."
Bodunrin Oluwo
"I cannot recommend them enought. I am a busy person with a family and I had a severe unexpected plumbing issue with my bathroom. I am not a handyman by any means. I started calling companies and they either stopped replying or wanted my to charge me crazy amounts. I was frustrated. I friend recommended me to this place and I am very thankful. They helped me right away and explained me all I needed to know about the price I was been charge. Specifically that guy tommy. He is a man of a few words. However, was really nice and professional. REALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE"
Holger Damian Velez Garcia
"I had a good experience working with Jeff, Tomy and the UCC team for my bathroom remodeling project. From start to finish, their attention to detail were great. They took the time to understand what I wanted and provided valuable insights to enhance the functionality of the space while sticking to our initial budget. Even thought the project took longer than expected they were able to deliver the project with great quality. We are very happy with the results. I appreciate their customer service and their help. I would highly recommend them."
Krina Patel
"After getting multiple quotes, I choose Ultimate Contractors Corp. to replace my patio. I would highly recommend UCC. They were amazing. After I bought my house, I had an ugly backyard with lots of mosquitoes in the summer. I then decided to get most of the yard covered with concrete pavers. They came in and designed the area, helped me with color choices, and most important, they finished ON TIME! The construction crew was professional, clean and courteous. Again, I would highly recommend them for any home improvement projects you are considering. Great job guys, thank you!"
Joselyne Rivera
"Eric and his crew at UCC did an amazing paint job! The quality is outstanding, the lines are clean, and everything looks flawless. They were professional, on time, and left everything neat. I absolutely love the results and highly recommend them!"
Melanie Martinez
"Jeff and his crew have done several projects for me. Ultimate is the contractor to go when you are in need of a Reliable and Affordable contractor. Great work quality delivered on a timely manner. They are very professional and costumer oriented. My wife loves the new kitchen."

Stairs questions, answered

How much does it cost to build or repair stairs in Newark, NJ?
The price depends on whether you need a full new staircase or a targeted repair, the materials you choose, and how the existing framing holds up. Swapping out worn treads and tightening a railing is a smaller job than a brand new run of stairs with custom newel posts and balusters. We come out, look at your stairs in person, and give you a clear written quote with no hidden fees before any work starts.
Why are my stairs squeaking and can you fix it?
Squeaks usually mean a tread has worked loose from the stringer or the riser, or the wood has dried out and shifted over the years. Yes, we fix it. We refasten or replace the loose treads and risers, shim gaps, and re-secure the connections so the stairs are quiet and solid again. If the squeak points to a deeper framing issue, we will tell you straight.
Can you replace just the railing and balusters without rebuilding the whole staircase?
Absolutely. A wobbly handrail or loose balusters are one of the most common calls we get, and they are also a real safety issue. We can anchor a new handrail, replace broken balusters, reset the newel posts, and leave the treads and stringers as they are if the structure underneath is sound. We always check the framing first so the new railing has something solid to hold to.
Do you build basement and attic stairs?
Yes. Steep, narrow, or makeshift basement and attic stairs are something we rebuild often, especially during basement remodels and attic conversions. We frame the stringers correctly, set safe tread depth and riser height, add a solid handrail, and finish them to handle daily use. The goal is stairs you can carry laundry or boxes up without second-guessing your footing.
Are your stairs built to code?
Yes. Stairs are one of the most code-sensitive parts of a home because they are about safety, so we build with tread depth, riser height, headroom, and railing dimensions in mind, and we pull permits when your job calls for them. As a licensed, insured, and bonded New Jersey general contractor, NJ HIC #13VH12312800, we make sure the work is done right and passes inspection.
Do you offer financing for a new staircase?
Yes, financing is available with flexible options so you can move forward on safer, better-looking stairs without waiting. Ask us about it when we come out for your free estimate, and we will walk you through the choices along with clear, transparent pricing for the work.
Do you build stairs and railings for commercial buildings too?
Yes. Along with homes, we build and repair stairs and railings for commercial spaces, so storefronts, offices, and other buildings get safe steps and code-minded handrails too. As a licensed, insured, and bonded New Jersey general contractor, we handle both residential and commercial stair work, pull the permits the job calls for, and keep the site clean.
Which towns and counties do you build stairs in?
We are based at 185 Johnson Ave in Newark and build and repair stairs across Newark and twelve New Jersey counties: Essex, Union, Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, Monmouth, Hunterdon, Mercer, and Sussex. If you are within about 45 to 60 minutes of Newark, call us at (908) 344-2984 and we will let you know how soon we can come out for a free estimate.
