Our Hardwood Stair Services
Carpet to Hardwood Stairs
We pull off the carpet, pad and staples. Then we cap each step with a new hardwood tread and add fresh risers. It's one of our most popular upgrades.
Stair Tread Replacement
We replace cracked, squeaky or worn treads one by one. Each new tread is cut to fit your stairs exactly.
Stair Refinishing
Are your stairs already hardwood but looking tired? We sand and refinish them to match your floors.
Risers and Landings
White painted risers give a classic look. Stained risers give a warmer, all-wood look. We also redo landings and the edge at the top of the stairs, so it all matches.
Picking a Hardwood Stair Style
The most popular look in Augusta right now is stained oak treads with white risers. It's clean and bright, and easy to keep looking fresh. Have red oak floors? We'll match the treads to red oak. White oak treads go well with modern gray and natural tones.
How a Stair Makeover Works
STEP 1
Measure and Inspect
We measure each step one by one, because no two staircases are the same. We check for squeaks, loose treads and uneven steps. We also look at the sides, the landings and the top edge. This tells us exactly what your stairs need. After about 100 stair projects, we know where the problems hide.
STEP 2
Remove the Carpet
We pull off the old carpet, pad and tack strips. Then we remove every staple and nail left behind. It takes patience, but it matters. A clean, bare step is the base for a tight fit. We haul all the old material away when we're done.
STEP 3
Fix the Structure
With the carpet gone, we can see the stair frame. We tighten loose steps and fix anything that moves. This is also when we stop squeaks for good. A solid frame keeps your new treads quiet for years. Some installers skip this step, but we never do.
STEP 4
Treads and Risers
We cut each tread to fit its step exactly. Then we glue and fasten it so it stays tight and quiet. Next come the new risers, painted or stained. We finish the edges and landings so everything matches. Most stair jobs take about 2 to 3 days from start to finish.
STEP 5
Stain and Finish
We stain the treads to match your floors. We test the color first so you can approve it. Then we apply tough coats of finish to protect every step. A matte or satin finish gives better grip than gloss. We'll tell you when it's safe to walk on them while they dry.
STEP 6
Final Check
When the finish is dry, we walk every step with you. We check for squeaks, gaps and an even finish. If anything isn't right, we fix it before we leave. We also show you how to keep your stairs looking new. Then they're ready to enjoy.
Hardwood Stairs Cost in Augusta
Stairs are priced per step, because every staircase is a little different. The price depends on how many steps you have, open or closed sides, landings, and stained or painted risers. We'll give you an exact written quote after we measure.
Are Hardwood Stairs Slippery?
They don't have to be. A matte or satin finish gives better grip than gloss. Have small kids, older family or a dog who races up the stairs? A carpet runner down the middle is a nice option.
