Stairwell Flooring
Treads, risers, and railings to match your floors
Expert staircase flooring — treads, risers, and railings. We match your stairs to your main floors for a cohesive, polished look throughout the home.
About This Service
Stairs are the single most visible flooring feature in a two-story home — you see them from every angle in the entryway. Replacing carpeted stairs with hardwood or LVP is one of the highest-impact upgrades a homeowner can make, and it dramatically modernizes the whole house.
Stair work is finish carpentry as much as it is flooring. Every tread has to be scribed to fit the exact staircase, the nosings have to align perfectly, and the risers need to sit tight against the treads with no visible gap. We handle the tear-out, subfloor and stringer prep, install, and finish work — including matching your existing hardwood color and sheen so the stairs feel like part of the same floor.
Signs You Need This Service
- You have carpeted stairs and want the modern hardwood look
- Existing wood treads are worn, cupped, or dated
- You have squeaky steps that need to be re-secured
- You just replaced main-floor flooring and the stairs no longer match
- You want a non-slip finish or nosing added for safety

Our Process
- 1
Measurement
Precise measurements of every tread and riser — no two stairs are truly identical.
- 2
Removal
Old treads, carpet, tack strip, or finish removed cleanly.
- 3
Sub-Tread Prep
Screws added to silence squeaks, and sub-treads planed flat if needed.
- 4
Installation
New treads and risers installed and glued/nailed securely.
- 5
Finish
Sand, stain, and finish to match your main floors — or install pre-finished treads for faster turnaround.
Care & Maintenance
- Dust or vacuum stairs regularly — the nose of each tread wears fastest.
- Add a runner if you have big dogs or heavy stair traffic — it protects the wear surface and adds grip.
- Recoat treads every 4–6 years — stairs wear about 3–4× faster than a flat floor.
- Address any squeaks quickly; they usually mean a fastener has worked loose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace carpeted stairs with hardwood?
Yes — this is one of our most popular projects. We remove the carpet, prep the stringers, and install new hardwood or LVP treads and risers.
Will my stairs match my new hardwood floors?
Yes. We stain and finish the stairs to match, or install pre-finished treads specifically color-matched to your floor.
How long does a staircase take?
Most residential staircases take 2–4 days including finish time.
Can you fix squeaky stairs without replacing everything?
Often yes — we can screw through the sub-treads and add glue blocks to silence squeaks as a stand-alone service.
