Stairs that look finished and feel safe

Stairs get more wear than any other part of the house, and they’re often the first thing guests see. Worn carpet, loose nosing, or mismatched treads can make the whole home look dated.

We install new flooring on staircases to match the rest of your home, from soft carpet to hardwood, luxury vinyl, and laminate with matching stair nose pieces. Stairs are often updated along with a hardwood floor installation or new carpet upstairs.

We also install baseboards, the trim that covers the gap between your floor and the wall. New baseboards are a simple way to make a room look finished.

Why update your stairs and trim

Safer steps

Secure treads and nosing reduce slips, especially where carpet has worn thin or come loose.

A matching look

Stairs that match your new floors tie the whole home together.

Easier cleaning

Hard-surface stairs are easier to keep clean than old carpet.

Clean edges

New baseboards hide gaps and give every room a sharp, finished edge.

How a stair and trim project works

Stairs take careful fitting, one step at a time.

Install and trim

We install the treads, risers, and nosing or the stair carpet, then finish with trim and baseboards.

Stair and trim options

Here’s how each option looks and works on a staircase.

Carpeted stairs

Soft and quiet. Choose a waterfall style that flows over each step, or a cap-and-band style (also called Hollywood) that wraps each tread tightly.

Best for: homes with kids, pets, and bedrooms upstairs.

Hardwood, vinyl, or laminate stairs

Hard-surface stairs use a stair nose piece on each step for a clean edge and better grip.

Best for: homes with matching hard floors nearby.

Baseboards and quarter round

Baseboards finish the wall edge. Quarter round or shoe molding can cover the expansion gap when existing baseboards stay in place.

Best for: finishing any new floor.

Planning a stair or trim project

Match the floors

Plan the stairs with the floors at the top and bottom, so colors and nosing line up.

Grip and safety

Choose textured finishes on hard-surface stairs if kids or pets race up and down.

Floating floors

Floating floors need an expansion gap at the walls. New baseboards or quarter round cover it cleanly.

Paint

New baseboards usually need caulk and paint. Plan for that step when you schedule the project.

Stair flooring and baseboard questions

Can you put laminate or vinyl on stairs?

Yes. Each step gets a tread and a matching stair nose piece for a clean, safe edge.

Is hardwood or carpet better on stairs?

Carpet is softer, quieter, and less slippery. Hardwood looks great, cleans easily, and matches hardwood floors nearby. The right pick depends on who uses the stairs.

What is the difference between waterfall and cap-and-band stair carpet?

Waterfall carpet flows over the edge of each step and drops straight down to the next one. Cap-and-band, or Hollywood, wraps the carpet tightly around each step for a tailored look.

Do I need new baseboards with new floors?

Not always. If your baseboards are in good shape, quarter round or shoe molding can cover the gap. New baseboards give a cleaner look, especially when the old ones are damaged.
