High-end architectural solutions, engineered and built in Bay Shore, NY
A modern staircase pairs clean lines and open sightlines with a few materials: steel stringers, thick hardwood treads, and glass or cable guards. Homeowners, architects and builders choose it when an NYC or Long Island renovation needs a stair that reads as architecture, not carpentry. DKP Wood Railings and Stairs has designed, fabricated and installed stairs on Long Island since 2001, and today builds its modern staircases in its own Bay Shore, NY facility.
Brooklyn and Queens brownstone renovations, new construction in Nassau and Suffolk, and glass-heavy homes in the Hamptons and Westchester are typical settings for this style. A steel-and-glass stair suits a double-height foyer; in a narrow Manhattan townhouse, a monorail with open treads keeps the stairwell open. See our portfolio.
The structure comes first: a single center stringer (see our monorail staircases), twin steel plate stringers, or a wall-mounted cantilever like our floating staircases.
A modern stair hides nothing, so consistent riser heights, tread thickness proportioned to the stringer, and clean handrail terminations carry the design. Under the Residential Code of New York State (and the equivalent NYC Building Code provisions inside the five boroughs), a handrail typically sits between 34 and 38 inches above the tread nosings, and guards and open risers are typically detailed so a 4-inch sphere cannot pass through.
We produce 3D renderings before fabrication so you approve tread profile, guard type and finish. We fabricate in our Bay Shore facility and our own crews handle the stair and railing installation. DKP is licensed and insured in Suffolk County, Westchester County, Southampton, Shelter Island, and the Town and Village of East Hampton, and is a member of the Stairbuilders and Manufacturers Association. See our about and services pages.
Often, yes. Many replacements keep the existing opening while changing the stringer, treads and guard. We confirm the load path on site; a quote follows the visit.
Yes, when the gap between treads is detailed so a 4-inch sphere cannot pass. We size tread thickness and spacing to meet this while keeping the open look.
Glass gives the most transparent guard. Cable adds a lighter, industrial texture and suits longer runs. We show both in the 3D rendering for comparison.
Glass lead times set the pace, but with fabrication and installation in-house we aim for a seamless installation, often completing projects within two weeks once the design is approved. Schedule and quote are confirmed after the site visit.
To plan a modern staircase, call (631) 665-8656, email drawings to cs@dkpstairs.com, describe your project through our contact page, or visit the Bay Shore showroom to see steel, glass and hardwood samples.
WE HAVE BEEN FABRICATING AND INSTALLING STAIRS AND RAILINGS IN LONG ISLAND AND NYC FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS, AND THESE DAYS WE ARE STILL MOTIVATED BY A BURNING PASSION TO DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL STAIRS AND RAILINGS TO HOME AND BUSINESS OWNERS IN THE AREA WHO WANT THEM. WE STARTED OUT SMALL IN THE BEGINNING, AND NOW WE’RE OPERATING A SHOP THAT EMPLOYS MORE THAN TWO-DOZEN INDIVIDUALS.

Artur was extremely easy to work with! He was efficient, communicative, and affordable! Just doing my railings has transformed my home and I couldn’t be happier (might need to do my stairs next). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and someone who pays great attention to detail then look no further than these fine folks!
