Stairs
Stairs That Match the Rest of Your Home
Stairs are the hardest-working wood in the house — and the first thing guests see. We refinish and rebuild stairs so they match your floors and stand up to daily traffic.
Stair work is slow, precise carpentry: every tread, riser and nosing is fitted and finished individually, and the result has to be safe as well as beautiful. Whether your stairs need refinishing, new treads, or a full recap over existing structure, we plan the work tread by tread.
Where stairs meet new or refinished flooring, we match stain and sheen so the transition reads as one continuous design rather than two separate projects.
Living with stair work
Stairs are usually the only route between floors, so we sequence the work to keep them usable — typically finishing alternating treads or scheduling cure times overnight. We plan this with you before work starts.
Carpet-to-wood conversions
Removing carpet from stairs often reveals builder-grade treads that were never meant to be seen. Recapping with new hardwood treads and risers is usually the better result, and we will show you both options in the estimate.
Common questions
Can I use my stairs during the project?
We plan the schedule so you are never stranded — typically by working in stages or timing finish coats overnight. We will agree on the approach with you before starting.
Can you match my stairs to my new floors?
Yes. Matching stairs to adjacent flooring is one of the most common projects we take on. We sample stains on the actual wood to get the match right before committing.
My stairs have carpet — what will be underneath?
Usually construction-grade treads not intended to be finished. In most cases the best result is recapping with new hardwood treads and risers. We will assess and give you honest options.
