The Cost and Value of FLIGHT Floating Stairs

A FLIGHT system is a great investment into your home's style, design, and value. Of course, it's important at the outset of your project to determine costs, budget, and where to prioritize spending. In this guide, we break down the value of a FLIGHT system, then give numbers to help you narrow down your options based on budget, style, and design.

As a general rule, expect your FLIGHT floating stair system to account for around 3% of your home’s market value. For example, in a $10 million home, which prioritizes stairs and railing as a central design feature, the stair and railing system may be valued at approximately $300K. For a $1 million home, more like $30K.

Of course, this isn’t a hard and fast rule. Every build or remodel is unique. A central staircase that will help define the look of a home may be valued differently than a stair to the basement. Over the years, however, we’ve found it to be a helpful starting point for budgeting, as you can compare the cost to the potential value of what you’re buying.

Done separately, through different suppliers and subcontractors, these costs often far exceed what we can do in-house. With Viewrail, we design, engineer, manufacture, and ship it all ourselves, which means you deal with a single point of contact for a single project.
