Our team provides shop-built treads and a bolted column in Cedar Park and Leander, delivering a stair that reaches a deck or rooftop for residential and commercial properties. Among the over 1,187 projects we have done, stairs run from a small patio spiral up to an 11 ft rise onto a rooftop deck, built across 12 years in business and carrying a 2-year workmanship warranty on each weld.
From the floor-to-deck measurement in Lakeway to the powder coat picked from physical samples in Cedar Park, our team handles every detail. Serving Round Rock and communities such as Lakeway, Georgetown and Cedar Park, we build each stair in the shop and bolt it down on site.
Request a free estimate, and we will measure your floor to deck rise and your landing footprint before we price a single tread.
The short version
Odalys, lake-view home with a rooftop deck, Lakeway
A straight stair would have eaten most of the deck below, and the owner wanted roof access for the view.
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Odalys's lake-view home in Lakeway had a rooftop deck, and a straight stair would have eaten the deck below. We measured floor to deck on site, built the steel treads and center column in the shop with a bronze powder coat, and bolted the column to a new pad for an 11 ft rise in a 5 ft diameter spiral. The job came to an estimated $3,800 to $5,600 and took an estimated 3 to 5 days on site, and the spiral takes about one quarter of the space a straight run needs.
A spiral suits a tight deck, a straight run suits a wide landing, and a half-turn stair suits a corner.
| Stair type | Best for | A job like it |
|---|---|---|
| Spiral on a center column | A small deck or a rooftop access | Odalys in Lakeway |
| Straight steel stair | A wide landing with room to run | A Georgetown porch stair near the San Gabriel River |
| Stair with an iron railing | An existing concrete stair that needs a rail | Grant in Georgetown |
A spiral staircase is typically an estimated $1,300 to $6,000 per staircase, and the rise, the diameter and the finish move the total most. Odalys's 11 ft rise in Lakeway came to an estimated $3,800 to $5,600, while a short patio spiral in Cedar Park sits near the bottom of that range.
One leaf, one operator, photo eyes and remotes, best on a driveway with room for the leaf to clear.
Two matched leaves on heavy posts or columns, two operators, safety devices and a stop.
A leaf on a poured track, for a short drive or a level opening with no room to swing.
A counterbalanced leaf on carriages with nothing in the opening, for slopes and busy commercial lanes.
New motor, photo eyes and remotes on a manual or worn automatic gate that is still sound.
An entry device and its wiring added to a working gate, from one keypad to a full video setup.
Tubular steel panels 4 to 6 ft tall, galvanized and powder coated, set on poured posts.
Solid bar and forged parts built to a drawing, for a front line that has to carry the house.
Aluminum panels with tight pickets, plus a self-closing, self-latching gate quoted on top.
A manual walk gate matched to the fence or the driveway leaves, with a latch set at your hand height.
Ornamental steel or wrought iron fitted to the stair or slab, with balusters spaced to our 3.5 to 3.875 in spec.
Steel or iron treads on a center column, from a stock kit to a site-measured build.
A steel or iron door with glass and thermal breaks, hung on hinges or a pivot once the frame is set.
Scheduled visits for commercial and association gates: lube, force test, sensors and a written log.
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
| Job type | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Spiral staircase | Est. $1,300 to $6,000 per staircase | Est. 1 to 14 days |
| Stair or balcony iron railing | Est. $65 to $135 per linear foot | Est. 5 to 10 hours |
| Custom pedestrian entry gate | Est. $600 to $1,500 per gate | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
Stair numbers stay estimates, subject to change, until we have taped floor to deck. That rise and your landing then go into a written quote, which holds the final price and install schedule.
A stair that sways or bounces is a safety risk, so the column, the pad and the anchors carry the load, not the deck rail. We bolt the column to a new pad, as we did for Odalys in Lakeway, and ask the city and your HOA what applies before we cut steel. Near Old Town, the Historic Overlay calls for a Certificate of Appropriateness, even though Round Rock otherwise asks for no residential fence permit. Spiked and open-picket fencing has been off the table in Lakeway since 2019, with a continuous flat top required, so a Lakeway stair rail draws on stocked flat-top rails and brown or bronze finishes, the same stock we use where design rules bar spear points or black. A stair is not a fence, but where its rail runs on as a yard enclosure, Georgetown's UDC 8.07 fence permit can apply, and Cedar Park under Sec 14.07.007 requires none.
We measure floor to deck on site, build the treads in the shop, set the center column on a new pad, and bolt each tread to the column, which is how Odalys's spiral went in over an estimated 3 to 5 days in Lakeway. Footings run 24 to 36 in deep and 10 to 12 in wide, poured in 3,000 to 4,000 PSI concrete, and the Balcones Escarpment runs through this part of Texas, so we check the soil on site.
A stair and its rail should match in bar, coat and spacing, so a landing rail in Round Rock is built from the same stock. See our iron railings for porch stairs in Georgetown, or the iron balconies page for Cedar Park decks, and we check every anchor against the pad.
Every staircase is covered by our 2-year workmanship warranty on our welds and footings. Add a powered gate or an aluminum panel run at the foot of the stair and the makers step in: motors and control electronics typically get 1 to 5 years on parts depending on the model, and aluminum fence panels get limited lifetime coverage on structure and finish.
We build iron staircases across the Austin metro, with most work in Lakeway, Georgetown and Cedar Park, plus Leander and the other cities on our service area page.
Many stair buyers also look at wrought iron fencing for the yard, pedestrian entry gates for a Lakeway terrace, or custom driveway gates at the street.
A spiral staircase is typically an estimated $1,300 to $6,000 per staircase, and Odalys's 11 ft rise in Lakeway came to an estimated $3,800 to $5,600.
A spiral takes an estimated 1 to 14 days on site, and Odalys's took an estimated 3 to 5 days in Lakeway.
A spiral takes about one quarter of the space a straight run needs, so Odalys's 5 ft diameter stair left the Lakeway deck below open.
Yes, we measured floor to deck on site, built the treads in the shop and bolted the column to a new pad for Odalys in Lakeway.
Steel gets G90 hot-dip galvanizing or a zinc-phosphate and e-coat base before a TGIC polyester powder coat at 3 to 5 mils, oven cured.
Our 2-year workmanship warranty covers our welds and footings on every staircase.

How a job runs
We read the wall, the slab and every anchor point before a line is drawn.
You sign off on a scaled drawing, the metal and the finish before any steel is cut.
Our welders fabricate the piece, then it goes out for its coating before it comes to your property.
We set the anchors, fix the piece in place and check it for plumb, level and spacing in front of you.
