Metal spiral staircase in living room is steep and wobbly.

I do not have a photo. Staircase in the home we are thinking of buying is the only way to the second floor. Can it be replaced with a traditional type with a landing at the turn? Don't want to get an architect involved.

    I advise you to educate yourself on the building codes for stairs in your area first, and then call a few contractors. Not all of them do stairs so your first question should be, "Do you do stairs?"

    We are installing a spiral staircase in a home in Berkeley. Code requires 5' minimum diameter. A 5' winder is relatively comfortable to use. Keep in mind that a starndard staircase with 7" risers requires ~ 15' of horizontal space in the house.

    I would not buy this house. Usually the reason spiral stairs are used is because there is not enough room for traditional stairs.

    While the purchase is entirely your decision, an expert real estate agent will have knowledge of architecture in the neighborhood and other professionals to consult with for opinions and bids. Let me know if you are not working with someone and would like me to refer you to an excellent REALTOR® who will represent your best interest. lbrown@marthaturner.com

    The home we are installing the spiral in has GG Bridge views. The Owner picked it up for half of what it will be worth when remodeled. I would not let a spiral staircase sway me against a purchase if you love the rest of the amenities.
