i am in the process of building my house and am looking at stairs. where would be the best place to look. my brother got his stairs in the north for 8,000 euro so i dont want to go above 10,000 euro, as ours is a curved staircase.

what is the max amount for a stairs
 
Are the stairs made of gold?

I just got 2 quotes, straight staircase return and landing, 2000 and 2,200 am looking for a third quote, but think all prices will be arount 2k. Meath
 
I got mine made and installed by an idependent carpenter, 7 steps, small half landing, another 7 steps. they were made from pine, and i stained them myself, cost 3.5k and that was 2 years ago when you couldn't get a tradesman! Oak would be considerably more expensive, i'd aim for 5.5k if i was you!
 
Pine, although I will ask the guys for a price for oak. The men both live local and are very professional. They came highly recommended. So I knew I was not going to be screwed.
 
hi...I got a solid oak stairs for around 7k. Where are you building? This carpenter has a workshop and you can go and view his work. I was very happy with it...jason
 
joinery shop called mc quillans in monaghan, seen some of their work in donegal. good quality, reasonably priced. no ties.

What sort of stairs are they - I am looking for a straight stairs, of oak, open -plan - ie the step is their but no riser(I think riser is the term). No twists, no turns. Simple but do want oak. Anyone with a guesstimate for such a satirs?
 
Got mine in Myles Staircases, Lobinstown, Meath. No affiliation.
They are white oat, about 4 steps onto another 10 maybe... and it a double height hallway so there is a railling across two sides on the landing and room is 5 metres wide.
Included in price was latting underneath stairs in white oak to finish it off.... 4800.
I knowed curved are v dear though so this will inflate your price.
 
Have a look on Brookwood.ie if your still looking for stairs, can bit a bit expensive for bigger stairs but if you tell them what your looking for and a price range they design to fit! Excellent service and clean! I also got them to do the rest of the house after i seen the stairs! Comes highly recommended!
 
Hi Cmax, welcome to AAM. In accordance with the posting guidelines, could you confirm whether you have any association with the above company other than being a satisfied customer?

First time posters highly recommending a company are regarded as being of dubious merit. Espcially so where a poster registers to reply to a month old thread.

+1 on Brookwood - the best part of my house, tbh. No connection other than as happy customer. They have a selection of finished stairs to look at in their showroom, which I found a big help.

OP - curved is what's making it expensive - not the choice of wood.

Thanks,

ditto on Brendan's work at Brookwood - when my SO saw the stairs she got him to do a matching skirting too (maple). Lovely.
 
what are the prices like at Brookwood compared to other suppliers ? Galwaytt, how much roughly was the skirting a meter ?
we need two flights of straight stairs and husband wants to go with oak. had a quote from a local joiner to supply and fit stairs, spindles, monkey tail etc for €7,500 but he now offering to do it at €6,500 and he does come recommended.
how does that sound ? also, we are planning on laying a tiled floor in the hallway before the stairs goes in as my husband says the finish looks much better.
would welcome any opinions on this please ?
