Hardwood Stair Installation & Refinishing in Orland Park, IL

Stairs take more wear than any other part of a floor. We install new hardwood treads and refinish existing ones so the staircase matches the rest of your home.

Stairs Are Their Own Kind of Hardwood Work

A staircase is the first thing guests see and the surface you walk on most. It is also the hardest place to work on a floor. Each tread and riser is a separate piece, edges and corners are tight, and every step has to be safe underfoot. Machines that handle an open room cannot do the job here, so stair work takes patience and hand skill.

We do both stair installation and refinishing. New hardwood treads can be installed over a worn or carpeted staircase, and existing stairs can be sanded, stained, and sealed to bring them back to life.

Matching the Stairs to Your Floors

Many homes have a hardwood floor that was refinished while the staircase was left behind, or the other way around. The mismatch is obvious. When we refinish stairs, we plan the color and sheen to suit the floors beside them, and when we refinish a whole home we treat the staircase as part of the same design. If you need new treads to blend with existing wood, our hardwood floor matching service applies here too.

Who Stair Work Is For

Stair work is the right choice if you have carpeted stairs hiding good wood, treads that are worn through in the center, a staircase that no longer fits a newly updated floor, or a home you are preparing to sell. A refinished staircase can transform an entry with surprisingly little work.
