About Floating Stairs
Custom Floating Stairs in Bellevue, WA
In a Bellevue home the staircase is usually the first thing a guest sees, and a floating stair turns that moment into the architectural centerpiece it should be. Removing the risers and the bulky framing lets a double height entry read as one open volume.
We design and fabricate custom metal floating stairs across Bellevue, from the modern homes downtown and in the Spring District to the hillside houses of Somerset and Lakemont. Mono stringer, double stringer, and cantilever systems all come with matching railings so the whole assembly is coordinated.
Our Bellevue floating stairs are built in collaboration with Floating Stairs Seattle, our sister company, whose staircase specialism pairs with the railing fabrication and finishing we do in our own shop.
Floating Stairs Types
Explore Our Floating Stairs Types
Three structural approaches cover nearly every floating staircase, and the choice follows your span, your wall structure, and the level of minimalism the design calls for.
Mono Stringer Stairs
Treads are supported by one central steel stringer.
- Clean and modern profile
- Open feel with less steel
- Strong support for daily use
The usual starting point for a modern Eastside home, where the single spine reads as a deliberate architectural line rather than structure.
Double Stringer Stairs
Treads are supported by two steel stringers.
- Very strong support system
- Great for wider stair runs
- Stable feel underfoot daily
Suits the wide, generous stair runs common in larger Bellevue homes, where the extra rigidity is worth the additional visible steel.
Cantilever Stairs
Treads are anchored into a structural wall support.
- True floating stair effect
- Minimal visible structure
- Most open appearance
The most demanding option structurally, and we confirm what the supporting wall can carry before the design is finalized.
Interior Floating Stairs
Interior Floating Stairs in Bellevue Homes
Interior floating stairs work particularly well in the double height entries common across Bellevue, where a conventional closed staircase would cut the volume in half. Lifting the structure and opening the risers keeps the space reading as a single room.
We design each system around your layout, ceiling height, and finishes, matching tread thickness and profile to your flooring, cabinetry, and trim. On an Eastside project we usually work alongside the architect or interior designer from the drawings onward.
Exterior Floating Stairs
Exterior Floating Stairs in Bellevue
Exterior floating stairs connect decks, terraces, and gardens without the visual bulk of conventional framing, which matters on a Bellevue lot where the outlook is part of what you bought. Slim steel stringers keep sightlines open.
Outdoor systems are built around durable steel, non slip treads, and finishes specified for damp Eastside winters. Matching exterior railings in glass, cable, or metal keep the stair and balustrade reading as one designed element.

Stairs and Railings Together
Floating Stairs and Railings From One Source in Bellevue
Buying the staircase from one shop and the railing from another is where mismatched finishes and awkward junctions come from. We supply both, so the stringers, treads, and balustrade are designed as a single assembly and finished to the same standard.
With Floating Stairs Seattle handling the staircase engineering and our shop producing the railings and metalwork, both halves get specialist attention while you deal with one team.

Customer Reviews for Custom Railings WA
See What Our Customers Are Saying
Posted on Google Kristina G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're so thrilled with our new stair railings! Custom Railings WA and Mike's team did a high quality job from start to finish. We got the black powder coat finish with hemlock handrail in natural stain, which looks so elegant (see attached photos). The powder coat finish is really attractive, and we like that it's durable and not easily scratched. We were a little nervous that the wood color/characteristics on the top rail might turn out to be inconsistent across such a long run of railing, but the hand rails on all of the railings match beautifully. Thank you, Mike and team for taking such great care of us! Our new stairs are the perfect touch for our new farmhouse.Posted on Google Adele FesanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used this company for the second time, and this was our first time ordering railing for an outdoor deck. The service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the team was easy to work with, and everything was completed exactly on schedule. The installation crew was highly professional, respectful, and left the area clean after completing the job. It was truly a pleasure working with a company that operates with such care and professionalism. The quality of the railing is top-notch — a very high-end product that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future.Posted on Google Leyla HasanovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered glass railings for our parents’ home in Seattle. We were choosing between two options, glass or modern metal railings, and in the end we decided to go with glass. We’re extremely happy with that choice. The team helped us understand the differences, guided us through the design, and completed the installation on time. The railings look amazing. Great experience overall!Posted on Google Zamina BabayevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first day, they were professional and easy to work with. Mike always replied quickly, and the team made sure every detail was just how I wanted. In the end, we got beautiful glass railings that fit perfectly with our modern home in Bellevue. Thank you, Custom Railings WA, for making the whole process smooth and enjoyable!Posted on Google J BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a good experience getting outdoor railings for my front concrete steps and for my stone steps in the back garden. I had put off doing this for so long and thought that railings might detract from the aesthetic look of my yard, but I was so wrong. I absolutely love my new railings, and loved working with all the guys who came out - to measure, to bend the metal and dig post holes, and finally to install the finished railings. Thank you!Posted on Google Jill SprattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Mike and his crew at Custom Railings WA. From design planning to installation they were knowledgeable, patient, helpful and professional.Posted on Google K CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience. Could not be more thrilled with the work Custom Railings did. Start to finish top notch work, excellent communication, very professional crew, wish all companies operated with such integrity, truly a pleasure to work with!Posted on Google Hanaa Abou OufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have beautiful new railings thanks to Custom Railings. Good communication, beautiful product, and they made sure everything was clean before they left. I will definitely use them again in the future!Posted on Google Cathy MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Custom Railings WA. They replaced our outdated railing with a new custom designed railing that fit our dreams and our budget. Communication was always clear and timely. They even worked around the chaotic schedule of other contractors working on our bigger remodeling project that impacted when the railing could be installed. Very Happy with our railing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work from architect drawings?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-07T11:36:06-07:00Yes, and on most Bellevue projects that is how it starts. We work from architect or interior design drawings, produce shop drawings for approval before fabrication, and coordinate the stair and railing finishes with the rest of the specified package.
Can you match the stair to our other metalwork?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-07T11:35:39-07:00Yes. Because we fabricate the railings, gates, and architectural metal ourselves, we can carry one powder coat color and one design language from the staircase through to the exterior railings and entry gate, so a Bellevue home reads as a single coordinated scheme.
Which type is best for a wide staircase?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-07T11:35:10-07:00A double stringer, generally. Two steel stringers give the rigidity a wider run needs and produce a more substantial architectural feel underfoot. A mono stringer can span a wide stair but requires heavier steel to do it, and a cantilever depends entirely on what the supporting wall can carry.
Do floating stairs suit a modern Bellevue home?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-07T11:34:30-07:00They suit it exceptionally well. Contemporary Eastside homes are usually built around open volumes and long sightlines, and a conventional closed staircase works against both. A floating stair keeps a double height entry reading as one space and becomes a sculptural feature rather than a necessary obstruction.
