Staircase Renovation in Keswick

Tired of looking at worn-out, stained carpet on your stairs? Carpet in high-traffic areas like a staircase just doesn't hold up. It gets frayed, collects dirt, and becomes difficult to clean effectively. We fix that by removing the old carpet and capping your existing stairs with solid wood treads. It's a practical upgrade that adds real durability to your home. If you're in Keswick and need a long-term solution for your staircase, give us a call.

Our Process for Stair Renovation

Getting durable, solid stairs is about doing the job right from the beginning. First, we remove the old carpet, padding, tack strips, and all the staples holding it down. We inspect the underlying structure—the stringers and treads—to make sure they're sound. A solid foundation is non-negotiable for a job that's going to last.

Once everything is stripped back, we prepare the surface. This means securing any loose sub-treads to eliminate squeaks and making sure everything is level and clean. This prep work is critical for a professional finish and is something we don't rush.

Material Choices: Function Over Frills

We recommend solid oak treads for most homes in the Keswick area. It's tough, widely available, and matches well with most existing hardwood flooring. It's a proven material that stands up to constant use. While other woods like maple are an option, oak provides the best balance of cost and durability for a staircase.

For the risers (the vertical part of the stair), a common and clean look is to use paint-grade wood, finished in a durable white or off-white trim paint. This provides a nice contrast and is cost-effective. We can also cap or paint the side stringers to complete the look, depending on the style of your home and your budget.

What to Expect During Installation

A stair renovation is construction, and it creates some disruption. There will be noise from saws and nailers. We do our best to contain the work area to the staircase, using dust extractors on our tools and plastic sheeting where needed. We won't leave a mess. A typical project takes a few days, and we'll communicate the schedule with you clearly. Your quote will outline all the steps, from tear-out to the final coat of finish, so there are no surprises.
