The Challenge
Derek wanted a staircase that would connect his rear balcony to his concrete patio in his backyard. He was certain that a standard straight staircase would not work because he wanted a staircase with a small footprint so that his yard space would not be impacted. Outdoor space is at a premium in his home, so having as small a footprint as possible was absolutely critical. It was important to Derek that the staircase be both elegant and functional while fitting within his budget. Since it would be an outdoor staircase, it needed to be able to withstand rain, heat, and humidity without rusting or degrading while also being beautiful and complementary to the existing structure.
The Process
Derek did extensive research before he contacted Paragon to find the perfect staircase for his needs. He received quotes from several staircase companies including Paragon. When he began the process, with Paragon, of designing and purchasing his personalized outdoor staircase, he spoke with one of Paragon’s knowledgeable sales representatives, who helped design his stairs and made sure Derek ended up with a staircase that fit his needs and budget and that looked great. Derek loved that his sales representative was able to provide a drawing of the staircase so he could see exactly how it would look before deciding to purchase.” It was a great experience dealing with them either on the phone or through the internet, it was awesome,” he said.
The Staircase Design
Derek decided on our Galvanized Steel model to be installed into his home in Alberta, Canada. The footprint of this staircase is one of the smallest options that Paragon offers at just 3.5ft diameter. Since his spiral staircase would be outside, he wanted to ensure it would be able to withstand years of rain, heat, humidity, and snow. Our Galvanized Steel model is a great choice for outdoor durability without sacrificing style. And the small diameter means that Derek still has full use of his outdoor garden area without sacrificing space for his new spiral staircase.
The Results
Derek now has a beautiful and functional outdoor staircase leading from his ground level patio to his upstairs balcony. He installed it himself, although he did need a few more pairs of hands to help with holding up the landing during the installation process. “I’m not that handy, but it was easy to put together,” he said. The Galvanized Steel staircase was able to be painted to match his existing structure, and the staircase looks stylish and is durable enough to last for years in Alberta’s varied and sometimes harsh weather conditions.
Why Paragon?
Paragon’s competitive pricing is what convinced Derek to choose us. He received quotes from several other companies for a new staircase for his home, and Paragon’s price was well below every other quote he received. He was also very happy that Paragon ships to Canada despite being an American company. As many Canadians know, finding American companies that can ship to Canada without charging exorbitant shipping rates can be very nearly impossible sometimes. “We couldn’t be happier,” said Derek.
