Options

Stair options

  • Carpet to hardwood

    Carpet and pad come off; the old treads are covered with new hardwood treads or replaced, depending on what’s underneath.

  • Wood or painted risers

    Risers in the same wood as the treads, or painted white for contrast — a popular look.

  • Matching nosings

    Laminate and vinyl plank floors use matching stair-nose pieces so each step edge is finished and safe.

  • Refinishing

    Existing hardwood stairs sanded and refinished, often together with the floor next to them.

Step by step

How the installation goes

  1. Measure

    Each tread and riser measured separately.

  2. Strip

    Carpet, old nosings and fasteners removed.

  3. Fit

    Treads and risers cut to each step and fixed in place.

  4. Finish

    Stain and finish applied; the stairs are ready once the finish has cured.

Local know-how

Good to know in Greater Vancouver

  • Townhouses across Greater Vancouver often have two or three flights of stairs — matching them to a new floor makes the biggest visual difference.
  • Stairs are the busiest part of a home. A hard species and a satin or matte finish wear better and are less slippery than gloss.

Questions

Stairs questions

Something else? Call 604-441-0234 or see the full FAQ.

Can you replace carpet on stairs with hardwood?

Yes. The carpet comes off, and new hardwood treads and risers go on over the old stairs or replace them, depending on what’s underneath.

Will my stairs match my new floor?

We match the species and stain to hardwood and engineered floors, and use matching stair-nose pieces for laminate and vinyl plank.

Painted or wood risers?

Either. Painted white risers give a crisp contrast and hide scuffs from toes; wood risers make the stairs look like one piece.

How long does a staircase take?

Typical time for a standard flight goes here.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the area, the product and the subfloor. Typical installed price range per square foot goes here. After a free in-home visit you get a written quote.
