Stair Installation in Cary, Apex & Raleigh, NC

Stairs are the most visible part of a floor project and the least forgiving. Every tread is cut to fit its own step, and the nosing has to line up with the floor above and below. We install stairs as part of a floor project or on their own.

When stairs need attention

  • Carpeted stairs that no longer match new hardwood or LVP
  • Worn, cracked or squeaky treads
  • A mismatch between the stairs and the landing
  • Stairs that feel unsafe because of loose or uneven treads

How we install stairs

  1. We count and measure every step at the free visit
  2. Each tread is cut to fit its own step, since no two are exactly the same
  3. Treads, risers and nosing matched to your floor
  4. Secure fastening so steps don’t move or squeak
  5. Cleanup of the work area when we finish

Cleanup after the flooring work is included in every flooring service. That means we clean the area we worked in when the flooring work is done. It does not cover areas we didn’t work in. Post-construction cleaning is a separate service, with its own scope and written price. About cleanup

What does it cost?

Every home is different: the product you choose, the size and layout, the subfloor, and stairs all change the price. Removal and disposal of the old floor are charged separately and itemized in your proposal. After the free visit you get a written price, and nothing starts until you approve it.

From assessment to final cleanup

From your photos to a finished, clean floor. You see the price in writing before any work starts.

  1. Send photos

Stairs: common questions

More questions

Can you replace carpet on stairs with hardwood?

Yes. We remove the carpet, check the steps underneath and install new treads and risers. The steps underneath decide which method we use. Removal and disposal of the old carpet are charged separately and itemized in your proposal.

Do the stairs have to match the floor exactly?

They don’t have to, but most clients want them to. We look for matching or complementary treads and nosing for the floor you choose.

How long can’t we use the stairs?

It depends on the number of steps and the finish. We tell you the schedule in the written proposal so you can plan.
