In this comprehensive 2-part video series, we walk you through the complete process of framing a new stairwell opening into an existing floor system. Part 1 covers how to safely cut and frame the opening when your floor joists run parallel to a straight staircase. Part 2 takes on the more complex scenario where the floor joists run perpendicular to the stairs, showing you step-by-step how to install double headers, trimmers, and proper structural supports. Whether you're a DIY homeowner or an experienced builder tackling a major layout redesign, this series gives you the structural rules, layout tricks, and framing techniques needed to execute both configurations safely.
