The Amber Difference Amber Stairs & Railings Inc. is owned and operated by a husband and wife team, Gary and Elnita Post. They have been involved in the stair and railing business since 1985. Gary began his career in the tread department at Amber Stairways; he progressed in the company until he was trained in the installation of hand railings. In 1988 he began his own business installing handrails on a sub contract basis for Amber Stairways. Together, Gary and Elnita spent the next 28 years running a successful railing installation company. This has all culminated into the ownership and operation of Amber Stairs & Railings Inc. At Amber we are committed to being leaders and innovators within our industry. We have a ‘can-do’ approach to every stair we produce. We are dedicated to superior customer service and a quality product, produced and installed in a timely manner. Each stair system is handcrafted by skilled craftsmen. With computer generated designs we create custom stair systems unsurpassed in quality. Building to exacting standards demands the use of the best materials available. Oak, Cherry, Maple, Poplar, Pine and exotic hardwoods are used daily in our facility. We carry a large inventory of traditional and modern railing components. From wooden posts, spindles and railing to stainless steel and glass, the team at Amber can help you design and complete any look you wish to achieve in your home. When we say custom we mean just that. Construction of an Amber stair does not begin until an order has been placed. This gives you, the client, complete freedom in selecting style of stair, species of wood and handrail, spindle and post combinations which will make your stairway unique. First impressions are lasting ones. Make your statement with an Amber stair system! We welcome every inquiry. Shipment to anywhere in North America is possible. Do not compromise. Contact us today, or better yet visit our showroom! Our staff would be pleased to meet with you.
