Custom floating staircases give Orlando homes an open, modern feel that suits today’s changing interiors. Florida’s humidity can warp or damage materials if a project isn’t planned correctly from the start. Davicojoinery LLC has installed staircases across Central Florida for years, and our crews know how local moisture and heat affect wood, metal, and glass differently. We select materials based on your home’s conditions, not a generic checklist, and we stand behind the fit and finish of every stair we build.
Cracked or warped treads change how a staircase looks and feels underfoot, and Orlando’s rainy season makes this worse for wood that wasn’t sealed properly. High-humidity months push moisture into unprotected timber, causing swelling, creaking, and premature wear. Older Orlando homes especially need careful assessment before a traditional staircase gets replaced. At Davicojoinery LLC, we install moisture-resistant oak treads using fastening methods built for Florida’s climate, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every install is measured and fitted on-site, so the final result matches your home’s actual dimensions and character.
Loose or shifting steps are a real concern in stairwells that see daily traffic. We finish treads with polyurethane coats rated for moisture resistance and pair that with solid framing underneath. The goal is a staircase that stays quiet and stable for years, not just on installation day.
Beyond staircases, our team handles the renovation work that often surrounds a stair project.
Picking the right contractor determines whether your staircase lasts ten years or twenty-five. Here’s what sets our process apart.
Local experience and hands-on craftsmanship are what separate a staircase that lasts from one that needs repairs within a few years.
We keep the process straightforward so property owners know what to expect at each stage.
Initial Consultation
We visit your home, take measurements, and talk through your style goals and budget before drafting anything.
Design Development
Our team builds a staircase design around your home’s structure, factoring in materials, load, and how the piece will look every angle.
Final Installation
Our craftsmen install and finish the staircase on-site, checking fit and stability at each stage before calling the job complete.
Glass floating staircases let natural light travel through a space in a way enclosed stairs can’t. They add a modern architectural focal point while keeping sightlines open between floors. Davicojoinery LLC builds glass stair systems using laminated and tempered glass chosen for both safety ratings and long-term durability. We pair that glass with hardware finishes that hold their look over time, and we factor in Florida’s humidity when selecting sealants, since the wrong finish can cloud or degrade glass faster than expected.
Every connection point is carefully engineered to reduce movement while maintaining the clean appearance that makes floating staircases stand out. If you’re considering luxury glass floating staircases in Orlando, expect a build process focused on structural safety first and visual impact second, not the other way around. The finished staircase is built to stay strong while keeping its clear, modern appearance for years.
Metal floating staircases add an industrial edge and structural strength that wood alone can’t match. A boxed-in traditional staircase can make a room feel smaller, while an engineered metal structure opens the space up. We fabricate metal components with precise tolerances so the final frame holds clean lines under everyday use. Premium metal floating staircases in Orlando work well for homeowners who want a distinct, contemporary look.
We apply protective coatings rated for humid climates to keep metal surfaces from corroding or discoloring, so the staircase still looks sharp years after installation. Every weld, bracket, and support is inspected for accuracy before installation begins to ensure dependable performance. Different finish options allow the staircase to complement modern, industrial, or minimalist interiors without losing the clean architectural style that makes floating stairs so appealing.
Open-riser staircases skip the solid vertical panel between treads, which lets light and airflow pass through and makes a stairwell feel less closed off. Building one correctly takes more than removing a riser. We plan tread spacing, support structure, and code-required safety clearances before any wood is cut. Custom-built open-riser staircases in Orlando give homeowners a way to open up tight or dated stairwells without a full structural overhaul.
We use hardwoods rated for durability and finish them to handle daily foot traffic, balancing the open look with the support a staircase needs to last. Every staircase is measured specifically for the home because small layout differences can affect both comfort and structural performance. Careful planning helps create an open design that feels inviting without sacrificing stability.
A staircase often becomes the first thing people notice when they walk into a home, and a floating design reads as far less bulky than a traditional boxed staircase. We design each staircase around your layout and the way you actually move through the space, then build it using techniques suited for long-term stability. Stylish interior floating staircase installations in Orlando give homeowners a way to upgrade an entryway or multi-level living space without starting from scratch.
We walk through material and finish choices with you directly, so the final structure matches what you pictured. Every installation is planned to fit existing structural conditions while creating a balanced, comfortable path between floors. The result is a staircase that looks modern, functions smoothly every day, and blends naturally with the surrounding interior design.
How much does a floating staircase cost in Orlando?
Most residential floating staircase projects run between $9,000 and $26,000. Cost depends on material choice (wood, glass, or metal), the number of landings, and whether structural walls need modification. Custom engineering and shop fabrication are typically included in that range.
How long does a floating staircase take to build?
Fabrication off-site usually takes two to four weeks before installation begins. On-site installation then takes three to five days depending on complexity, followed by a final inspection once components are set and secured.
Are floating staircases legal under Florida building code?
Yes. Our staircases are engineered to meet Florida residential building code, including load capacity, handrail height, and baluster spacing requirements. We handle permit documentation and coordinate inspections as part of the installation.
How do you clean glass stair treads?
Use an ammonia-free glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Wipe high-traffic treads weekly to remove footprints and smudges. Our factory-applied sealants make treads easier to wipe clean between deeper cleanings.
Will humidity damage wood stair treads over time?
Not if the wood is prepared correctly. We use kiln-dried hardwood sealed with multiple coats of polyurethane, which resists the swelling and warping that Central Florida humidity causes in untreated wood. Indoor climate control also helps preserve the joinery long-term.
