Staircases That Match Your Hardwood

Custom staircase flooring and refinishing services in Minnesota from Floored By Dave's.

Your staircase is one of the most visible parts of your home, and when the wood doesn't match your floors or shows years of wear, it stands out for all the wrong reasons. Homeowners in Minnesota often live with stairs that have been covered, mismatched, or refinished separately from the main floor. Floored By Dave's works with older staircases throughout Minnesota to bring them back into alignment with the rest of your hardwood. This service includes custom flooring installation on stairs and landings, or full refinishing to match existing hardwood floors elsewhere in your home. Whether you're upgrading during a renovation or addressing staircases that were never part of the original floor plan, the work focuses on creating a cohesive look while improving safety and durability in a high-traffic area. Most staircase projects are scheduled alongside full-floor refinishing to ensure color and finish consistency. If your stairs need updating or you're planning a larger flooring project in Minnesota, reach out to discuss how staircase work fits into your timeline.

How stairs are matched to existing floors

Matching stairs to your existing hardwood involves selecting wood species, stain color, and finish type that align with what's already installed in Minnesota. Floored By Dave's starts by evaluating your current floors, then prepares the staircase surface through sanding or replacement of damaged treads and risers. The goal is to make the stairs look like they were always part of the original installation. After the work is done, you'll notice that the stairs no longer look like an afterthought or a separate project. The grain, color, and sheen will blend with the flooring in your hallways and rooms, and the surface will feel smooth and solid underfoot. Older staircases that once creaked or showed uneven wear become stable and visually integrated into the home. This type of project is common in homes where carpeting has been removed or where previous refinishing didn't include the stairs. The work can be done as a standalone service, but it's most efficient when paired with floor refinishing so that sanding, staining, and sealing happen in one continuous schedule. Floored By Dave's handles both new installation and refinishing depending on the condition of your existing staircase.

Questions homeowners ask before scheduling staircase work

Staircase flooring raises practical questions about timing, material matching, and how the work fits into a larger project. Here are answers to the most common concerns that come up during planning.

How do you match new stair wood to my existing floors?

Floored By Dave's identifies your wood species and evaluates the existing stain and finish, then sources matching materials or custom-mixes stain to blend the stairs with your current hardwood. Test samples are often applied to confirm color before the full installation or refinishing begins.

What happens if my staircase has structural damage or squeaks?

Any loose treads, damaged risers, or subfloor issues are addressed before flooring or refinishing work begins. This ensures the finished staircase is both visually consistent and structurally sound.

Why is staircase work often done during full-floor refinishing?

Scheduling staircase refinishing with your main floors allows Floored By Dave's to sand, stain, and seal everything at once, which ensures uniform color and sheen. It also reduces the number of times equipment needs to be set up in your Minnesota home.

What if my stairs were previously carpeted?

Carpeted stairs are uncovered, and the wood underneath is evaluated for damage, staining, or wear. Depending on condition, the stairs are either refinished or fitted with new hardwood treads and risers.

How long does staircase flooring or refinishing take?

Most staircase projects are completed within the same timeline as full-floor refinishing, typically three to five days depending on drying time and the number of coats applied. Standalone staircase work may take one to two days.

Floored By Dave's has worked with older staircases throughout Minnesota, including homes where the stairs were never part of the original hardwood plan. If you're planning a refinishing project or want your staircase to match the rest of your floors, get in touch to schedule an estimate.
