Spiral & Custom Staircase Fabrication in Michigan
A staircase can be the focal point of a room. We custom-fabricate spiral, straight-run, and floating staircases in steel, stainless, and aluminum for homes and commercial spaces across Metro Detroit.
A spiral staircase is one of the most visually striking elements you can add to a home or commercial space. Unlike a standard straight-run stair, a spiral staircase becomes a focal point — drawing the eye upward and creating real architectural presence. HotFab Welding custom-fabricates spiral and custom staircases in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum for clients throughout Metro Detroit.
Every staircase starts with a detailed consultation and precise measurements. Stairs are unforgiving — a fraction of an inch matters — so we measure floor-to-floor height, available footprint, and direction of rotation before a single piece is cut.
Designing your staircase
We take precise measurements of your floor-to-floor height, the available footprint diameter, and the direction of rotation. We also work through tread style with you — solid plate, open grating, or wood-topped treads — along with the railing design and the finish that ties the stair into the rest of the space.
Because stairs must meet code for rise, run, headroom, and railing height, we design to those requirements from the outset so the finished stair is both beautiful and safe to use for decades.
Spiral, straight-run, and floating stairs
Spiral staircases save floor space and make a dramatic statement. Straight-run and L-shaped stairs suit larger openings and heavier traffic. Floating (cantilevered) stairs create a modern, open look where treads appear to hover — these require especially careful structural engineering, which is exactly the kind of precision welding we specialize in.
Fabrication and installation
We fabricate your staircase at our Warren shop and install it on site, coordinating with your contractor where needed. The result is a single piece of engineered metalwork — not a kit assembled from generic parts.
Where we provide custom staircase fabrication
Custom Staircase Fabrication is available from our shop at 13118 E 9 Mile Rd, Warren, MI 48089 and on-site across Metro Detroit, including Macomb County, Wayne County, Oakland County. Dedicated pages for the cities we work in most:
What affects the price
Every quote is written after we measure, but the drivers are the same on every job: total length or size, material (steel is most economical, aluminum and stainless cost more), design complexity such as ornamental work or glass infill, finish (powder coating adds cost and years of life), and whether the work is done in our shop or on site. For typical Michigan ranges see our welding & fabrication cost guide.
How to request a quote

Common Questions
How much space does a spiral staircase need?
Spiral staircases are valued precisely because they fit small footprints, but the exact diameter depends on your floor-to-floor height and code requirements for tread width and headroom. HotFab Welding measures your space and designs a stair that fits while remaining safe and comfortable to climb.
Can you build a floating (cantilevered) staircase?
Yes. Floating stairs require careful structural engineering so the treads carry load safely while appearing to hover. This precision welding is a core part of what we do.
Do your staircases meet building code?
Yes. We design to code requirements for rise, run, headroom, and railing height from the start, so your staircase passes inspection and is safe for everyday use.
