A One-Day Install Outside Chicago
Custom home builder Matt Risinger brought his team to this finished home just outside Chicago to watch and film the Viewrail process. Matt loved the beauty of this modern staircase — and he could not stop talking about how the entire rail and stair system was installed in just one day.
From the very start, this installation was characterized by one word: simple. The homeowner gave us one dimension: finished floor to finished floor. We took that and gave him shop drawings and samples. Once he signed off, the magic began.
“Viewrail checks all the boxes. Every time I’ve used them, their products have come out spectacularly, eliminating all the pain points I’ve experienced in the past with modern stairs and railings.”

From Idea to Install in Six Weeks
The house was finished, so we had to be careful not to damage the fascia around the staircase during install. We stationed two people at the footer of the stringer and two at the header. They bolted the stringer into place, then we dropped the treads on the brackets and screwed them in using pre-drilled mounting holes. The components went in without as much as scratching the surrounding surfaces.
The railing install was just as simple. We used tread side mount posts on either end of the tread — keeping the steps wide open so guests can easily traverse the staircase. Paired with the slender lines of rod railing, the finished look is minimal, open, and fresh.
This entire system— including powder coated center stringer, beautiful maple treads, and railing system— installed at a low cost, with tons of customizable options. In just six weeks, we can go from a signed shop drawing to a shipment that’s ready to go. That’s the Viewrail advantage.
