Custom Stairs, Beams & Mantels in Salt Lake City
What We Make
Vama Flooring builds custom stairs, beams, mantels and millwork in our own shop for homes and businesses across Salt Lake City, Sandy and the Salt Lake Valley. We make thousands of stairs per year, and we can build a custom one-off staircase in as little as a few days.
Custom stairs and stair parts. Treads, risers, nosing and complete staircases.
Handrails. Rails to match your stairs and your style.
Mantels. Custom wood mantels made to fit your fireplace.
Beam covers. Wood beam wraps that add warmth and character to a ceiling.
Wall treatments. Wood walls and accent features to finish a space.
Custom Stair Treads & Parts
Stairs take more wear than any other part of a floor, so we build them to last. We mill solid wood treads, risers and nosing to fit your stairs and match your flooring.
Because we also install hardwood and LVP, we can match your stairs to your new floor and handle both in one project. That means one schedule, one crew and a clean transition from floor to stair.
Beams & Mantels
A custom beam or mantel can become the centerpiece of a room. We build beam covers and mantels in our own shop, stain or finish them to your color, and install them on site.
Whether you want rustic, modern or something in between, we'll help you pick the wood, finish and size that fits the space.
How a Custom Project Works
1. Estimate and design. We visit, measure and talk through what you want, then give you a clear quote.
2. Milling. We mill the material in our own shop.
3. Finishing. For stain-grade work, we pre-finish pieces in our facility for a cleaner, more consistent result.
4. Installation. Our crew assembles and installs everything on site.
5. Walkthrough. We review the finished work with you, and our labor is backed by a one-year warranty.
Compare Bids Apples to Apples
The hard part of custom work is comparing bids. A while back we bid a built-in bunk bed for a contractor: milled in our shop, pre-finished in our facility and installed on site, turnkey. A competing bid came in 7,000 dollars lower, so he took it.
What he didn't realize was that the other bid only covered material and milling. No assembly, no install and no finishing. By the time he finished the project he was about 15,000 dollars over our price, and the rushed work showed.
The lesson: make sure every bid covers the same work. We'll always tell you exactly what's included in ours.
Working With Your Budget
We work with a lot of designers, contractors and homeowners, and we understand what it takes to get a project across the finish line on budget.
Over the years we've built relationships with vendors and material sources most of our competition doesn't know about. There are different qualities of lumber, grades and materials, and we'll help you choose the right one for your project and your price.
Keep the conversation open with us and we'll be as transparent as we can. We'll deliver, and we can hit a budget.
