Modular Mountain Retreat Project


Building a Custom Modular Staircase Video

Bob meets with Thomas “Doc” Dougherty, the stair builder at Simplex Industries, to discuss the progress of the staircase in the modular home project. The staircase is located in the center section of the home on the first floor. The staircases are all built at the Simplex plant specifically for each home. The stringers are routed out with a seven degree dove tail router bit and wedges are installed with the risers and treads to insure an extremely tight fit and prevent future squeaking.
