Elevate Your Home with Expert Hardwood Stair Installation
The Benefits of Hardwood Stairs
Hardwood stairs combine functionality with timeless beauty, making them a standout feature in any home. We use high-quality hardwood species like oak, maple, hickory, and walnut, selected for their strength and aesthetic appeal. Oak is particularly popular for staircases due to its durability, attractive grain, and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for treads and risers.
Beyond their visual appeal, hardwood stairs can enhance a home’s value. Their premium quality and longevity make them a desirable feature for homebuyers, offering a strong return on investment. With proper care, hardwood stairs remain beautiful and functional for decades.
Our Hardwood Stair Installation Process
Installing hardwood on stairs requires precision and expertise, and our team is committed to delivering safe, durable, and visually appealing results. Here’s what you can expect from our stair installation services:
1. Tailored Design and Material Selection
We collaborate with clients to choose the ideal hardwood species and finish to suit their home’s style. Whether opting for the warm tones of oak, the sleek look of maple, or the rich depth of walnut, we ensure the stairs complement existing hardwood floors. Matching stairs to flooring for a cohesive appearance is one of our specialties.
2. Precise Installation for Safety and Comfort
Stair installation demands accuracy to ensure safety and longevity. We use robust 2×12 stringers for wider or longer spans, as they offer greater strength than 2×10 alternatives. Our designs follow industry standards like the 7-11 rule (7-inch rise and 11-inch run) and the 25 rule (two risers plus one tread equaling approximately 25 inches) to create comfortable, safe stairs.
To enhance safety, we install stair noses on tread edges to reduce tripping risks and protect against wear, providing a polished finish. For added traction, we recommend non-slip treads or runners, particularly for households with children or seniors, as hardwood can be slippery when polished.
3. Structural Support and Load-Bearing Expertise
Hardwood stairs must withstand daily use, and we ensure they are built to last. Our installations include at least two stringers for standard stairs, with three or more for wider designs, capable of supporting 300–500 pounds per step. We account for both the dead load (the weight of the stairs themselves) and the live load (people and objects), ensuring compliance with building codes for a load rating of 40 pounds per square foot and 300 pounds per step.
For modern floating staircases, we incorporate hidden stringers or wall supports to achieve a sleek, minimalist look while meeting safety and code requirements. Our expertise ensures every staircase is both beautiful and structurally sound.
4. Professional Finishing and Maintenance Support
We complete installations with coordinating stair noses and transitions for a refined appearance. After installation, we provide guidance on maintaining hardwood stairs: regular sweeping, cleaning with hardwood-safe products, and applying polyurethane every few years to protect the finish. For long-term care, our team can refinish stairs every 5–10 years, sanding and resealing to restore their original beauty.
