Which wood for your project?
OakThe strong one that gets handed down — king of staircases and floors.
BeechFine grain, light tone: solid wood at the best value.
AshLively grain, springy wood — character, gently.
Not sure? The right wood depends on use, light and budget — guiding you is precisely my job.

How it works — simple as a pencil line

One person from start to finish: the one who draws is the one who builds — and installs.

We draw it together

A visit, measurements, sketches: your idea takes shape on paper, with a clear quote and no surprises.

The workshop builds

The wood is chosen, cut and assembled in Verdun — solid timber worked by hands that know their trade.

We install at your home

Careful installation, millimetre finishes, a clean site — and a piece built to last for generations.

How a bespoke staircase is born

The workshop's speciality, from the first pencil stroke to the final wipe of the cloth.

1 · The survey

I come and take real measurements at your home: floor height, stairwell, available run. That's where comfort is decided — the ideal step height is calculated, not guessed.

2 · The drawing

Straight, quarter-turn or spiral: I propose the layout that fits your space best, with the wood species that suits your budget.

3 · The making

Stringers, treads, risers, handrail: everything is cut and dry-assembled in the Verdun workshop before it leaves for your home.

4 · The installation

Fitted to the millimetre, cleanly — and you walk on it that very evening.

Your carpenter in Verdun, rue des Blanches Plumes

Set up on rue des Blanches Plumes in Verdun, the workshop was born in 2013 from a simple conviction: good work takes good hands, good wood and time.

Stéphane Onfroy works with private and business clients across Verdun and the whole Meuse — from first sketch to final finish. No subcontracting, no mass production.

And because a fine piece must also respect the home it lives in, the workshop favours eco-friendly products and equipment, at fair prices.

“I opened the workshop with a simple idea: do things well, without rushing. What I love most? Staircases — every step has to land just right, to the millimetre. Here, the person who answers you is the one who draws, builds and installs.”— Stéphane Onfroy, carpenter

Questions I'm often asked

How long does a bespoke staircase take?

Every project goes through the workshop, no mass production: lead time depends on the season and complexity. You get an honest date with the quote — and it is kept.

How far do you travel?

The workshop is in Verdun; I work within 50–60 km of Verdun — from Étain to Saint-Mihiel, as far as Bar-le-Duc, Commercy or Stenay. Further away? Call anyway — a fine project is worth a few kilometres.

Is made-to-measure necessarily expensive?

No. I work alone, with no middlemen and no showroom to pay for: what you pay for is the wood and the work. The quote is itemised line by line, free and without obligation.

Reduced VAT on renovation — is that true?

Yes. For a home completed more than two years ago, joinery supplied and fitted by the craftsman is invoiced at 10% VAT instead of 20% (and 5.5% for certain insulation work). Just a simple form to sign, provided with the quote.

How do you care for solid wood furniture?

A dry cloth day to day, oil or wax now and then depending on the finish. Care instructions come with the delivery — a well-kept piece gets handed down.
