FAQ

How does moving a staircase affect the floor opening and surrounding framing?

A stair needs an opening through the floor system, so moving the stair usually means creating a new opening and closing or repurposing the old one. That can change joist lengths, headers, bearing points, and nearby wall framing. NK Construction & Design evaluates those relationships before construction and coordinates the required reinforcement so the floor system remains properly supported around both locations.
