Douglas Lovin
Owner of Cheap Stair Parts · Stair remodel specialist since 2007
I’ve spent nearly two decades helping homeowners and contractors remodel their stairs. Every guide and product page on this site is written by me, from real projects and real customer questions, not a marketing packet.
Luck or Fate?
In 2007, a close friend asked me to help rebuild the website for the stair company he worked for, House of Forgings. It was supposed to be a temporary gig. I stayed because the people were great, the products were good and the work made sense. That website was CheapStairParts.com, and it’s grown into the store it is today. The best part is that it supports the families who work here.
Real Experience
Working at House of Forgings has taught me the entire stair remodel process, from picking a baluster style to how it gets installed on the job site. That’s why everything on this site comes from firsthand experience:
- I write the guides. They come from real projects and the questions customers ask us every day.
- Our product photos are taken in our own warehouse.
- Our installation guides are created on the job site.
- Every order ships from our own warehouses. No drop shipping.
