Porch & Deck Stair Rebuilds
I’m Henry Cordes, based in Stockton Springs. I focus on deck repairs, and stair work is one of the most common calls I get. If your steps are rotting, sagging, or simply unattractive, I can rebuild them from the ground up or refresh what you have with targeted repairs and refinishing.
Stair projects in Midcoast Maine
I serve homeowners in Stockton Springs and nearby towns including Belfast, Bucksport, Bangor, Ellsworth, Camden, and Blue Hill.
Every staircase has its own issues. Sometimes it is a few rotted treads. Sometimes the whole flight needs to come out. Sometimes the concern is mainly appearance. If you are selling your house, for example, a clean and attractive staircase can lift curb appeal without the cost of a full rebuild.
If you have been told you need a whole new deck, it is worth getting another opinion. A focused stair rebuild or repair is often the smarter and more cost-effective solution.
What’s included
- Careful removal and disposal of old stairs
- New stringers cut and installed at proper spacing for strength
- Solid treads and risers, with materials chosen to match your home’s style and needs
- Railings built to modern safety standards
- Exterior-grade fasteners and connectors rated for Maine weather
- All cuts sealed against moisture, with the new assembly cleaned up and ready to use
If your stairs are structurally sound but look tired, I also offer refinishing and cosmetic upgrades such as restaining or repainting.
Navigating code requirements
Many older staircases would not meet today’s requirements for railing height, baluster spacing, or stringer layout. In remodeling situations, inspectors do not always require you to redo the entire deck just to fix the stairs.
My approach is to explain the differences between your current setup and today’s standards, then help you decide the best path for safety, durability, and meeting local requirements.

What clients are saying

“We needed deck work and had Henry over to see the job. It was more of a collaboration than just ‘we say, he does.’ He explained what and why, gave a detailed estimate, showed up on time, and finished on budget. We will gladly have him back.”

“Henry replaced the stairs on my deck, and he did a great job. They were rotting away and had old peeling paint. He put in new stairs that are well built, and he did it quickly. He was easy to reach and communicate with. Thanks Henry!”
