WHAT WE INSTALL

Stair Treads - The part you step on. We install solid hardwood treads in any species to match or complement your floors. Standard or custom widths.

Risers - The vertical face between steps. Can match treads or be painted for contrast. We ensure tight seams with no gaps.

Nosing & Trim - Finishing details that make the installation look professional. Proper nosing prevents edge wear and adds safety.

WHY STAIRS ARE DIFFERENT

Stair work is more complex than floor installation. Every tread has to fit precisely. Risers need to be uniform height (code requirement). Railings must meet specific height and strength standards. Balusters have exact spacing rules.

We've done hundreds of stair installations. We know the building codes. We know how to handle the weird angles, uneven old stairs, and structural quirks that come up. And we make sure everything is secure—stairs take more abuse than floors and need to be built to handle it.


Stairs should complement your floors, not fight with them. We can:

- Match species and stain exactly to your existing hardwood

- Create intentional contrast (darker stairs, lighter floors)

- Use different species for visual interest

- Mix painted risers with stained treads for modern look Not sure what will look best?

We'll show you options and help you decide based on your home's style and your preferences.

How We Install Stair Parts

1. Consultation & Measurement We measure your stairs, discuss style options, and provide a detailed quote. Stairs require precision—measurements matter.

2. Material Selection Choose your wood species, stain color, railing style, and baluster design. We'll show you samples and photos of previous work.

3. Preparation Remove old stairs/parts if needed. Repair structure if necessary. Ensure everything is level and secure before installation.

4. Installation Install treads, risers, railings, balusters, and newel posts. Everything is fitted, secured properly, and code-compliant.

5. Finishing Sand, stain (if needed), and apply durable finish. Railings get extra attention since they're touched constantly.

6. Final Inspection We test for safety, check all fasteners, and make sure you're happy with the result.
