What Is Staircase Fabrication?
Staircase fabrication is the process of designing, building, and installing metal stair systems that provide safe, reliable access between levels. A complete stair system typically includes:
-
Stringers and support framing
-
Treads and risers
-
Landings and platforms
-
Guardrails and handrails
-
Connections to decks, mezzanines, and structural steel
Because stairs are both a safety-critical and high-traffic part of any building, they must be fabricated to meet local building codes, IBC and OSHA requirements (where applicable), and the specific demands of the space.
At J&M Welding Inc., we combine engineering-minded fabrication with jobsite practicality, so each staircase we build is ready for inspections, daily use, and the long haul.
Why Choose J&M Welding Inc. for Metal Staircases?
- Built for Code Compliance & Safety
Our stair systems are fabricated with safety and compliance at the forefront. We work from engineered plans and coordinate with your design team to help ensure riser heights, tread depths, guard/handrail heights, and clearances line up with applicable codes. - Experience with Commercial, Industrial & Custom Homes
We regularly build stairs for commercial buildings, wineries, industrial facilities, multi-story custom homes, and remodels across the Central Coast. We understand the different requirements of each type of project. - Clean, Professional Appearance
Stairs are often highly visible. We pay attention to fit-up, weld quality, grinding, and prep for paint or other finishes, so your final stair system looks as good as it performs. - Shop Fabrication + Field Installation
We fabricate stairs in our Paso Robles shop and can provide delivery-only or full installation, depending on the project. That gives you a single partner from fabrication through final fit. - Local, Responsive Team
As a local company, we’re accessible and responsive. We coordinate scheduling with your superintendent or project manager to keep your job moving.
