​What Makes Us Unique?

There really is a difference in quality when you get a Riverwood Stair: 


  • We use a blend of old time joinery and modern techniques, state-of-the-art glues and fasteners, and fine solid wood.  A Riverwood stair is not made of separate parts nailed to a rough frame.  A Riverwood Stair is assembled to act as a single unit.  It starts with treads and risers that are drawn tight with hardwood wedges from underneath.  They’re glued and screwed together with hidden fasteners.  We use the right parts in the right places.  Our parts become interlocked for strength and durability.

  • We make many of our parts right here in our Ozark shop.  
  • We match and align wood colors and grains, using solid wood and no finger joints.  We choose our wood carefully, always with the final appearance in mind.  
  • We’re small enough to be able to give you our full attention, yet big enough to do just about any project that comes our way.


We listen to YOU.  We build to suit YOU.  Always with safety in mind.
