Stairs & Railings · Loudoun County

Why Loudoun County homeowners hire us.

Stair remodeling in Loudoun County, VA covers two different jobs. Inside, it is carpet to hardwood treads, painted or stained risers, and wood or iron balusters on a stair that already stands. Outside, it is deck and porch stairs with a consistent rise and run, solid stringers, and a graspable handrail. We look at the stair that is there before we say which job it is.

Replacing treads, risers, or balusters on a sound stair usually needs no permit. Structural or layout changes, and new exterior stairs, do. We confirm with the county before work starts. Leesburg, Purcellville, and Middleburg issue town zoning before the county building permit when the work needs one. Inside Leesburg, exterior stairs are on the Town zoning list. Unincorporated Loudoun, including Ashburn, uses LandMARC.

A county permit is not HOA approval when the stair changes the exterior. We submit the association packet in parallel on those lots. Interior tread and baluster work that leaves the outside alone is a different track. Real Elite does not take electrical work. The price is a free written estimate after a site walk.
