HISTORY
For over 25 years, Pacific Stair Corporation has transformed from a small, local fabrication shop to one of the nation’s leading commercial stair suppliers.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Pacific Stair’s history in Miscellaneous Steel and Metal Stair installation dates back to the founding of our company – known as the Gardner Brothers Ironworkers Company – San Leandro, California 1989. Our foray into becoming the all-in-one stair supplier began years later, when company founder William Gardner realized that there was more opportunity to be had in the stair industry. Stairs were being built for the buildings he installed; and shortly thereafter, William Gardner set his sights on expanding his business. William relocated back to his home in Salem, Oregon. He rented a small building with only 4 employees, comprised of family members. The rest is history.
GROWING UP
As an experienced installer, William Gardner understood the importance of quality and efficiency. Focusing solely on stair systems, William was able to standardize systems to eliminate costs and confusion.
With construction booming in California, stairs were built in Salem, Oregon and shipped to job sites in San Francisco, California where they were installed by Gardner Brothers Ironworkers. As time progressed, Pacific Stair branched out over the Bay Area, later expanding to Southern California, Seattle, Portland and across the United States. The word was out about the small stair company that provided complete stair packages – designed, engineered, delivered and installed nationally.
EXPANSION
As the number of contracts increased, so did the need to add production space, personnel, and equipment. Larger facilities were built, equipment was purchased and fabricators were hired to manage the demand.
Today, Pacific Stair Corporation has designed, fabricated, furnished and installed stairs in all corners of the continent including Hawaii, Alaska, New York, The Philippines, Israel and beyond. While never losing sight of the principles on which Pacific Stair was founded. Our constant pursuit of a quality stair system at an affordable price, designed with the installer in mind so our customers can increase their profits has been the objective since day one.
