The Process
We install custom hardwood treads, risers, and nosing that match your floors for a unified look from level to level. Every tread is cut to fit the exact dimensions of your staircase.
We measure each step, check the condition of existing treads and stringers, and note any irregularities in width, depth, or rise that require custom fitting.
We source or mill hardwood treads, risers, and nosing to match the species, width, and thickness needed for your staircase. Each piece is cut to exact dimensions.
We remove existing carpet, vinyl, or damaged treads, pull staples and nails, and prep the stair structure for new hardwood installation.
We install each tread and riser with construction adhesive and fasteners, ensuring tight joints, level surfaces, and a secure fit on every step.
We sand the installed treads smooth, apply matching stain, and finish with durable coats to match the sheen and protection level of your main hardwood floors.
Your staircase is one of the most visible features in your home. Matching it to your hardwood floors creates a clean, unified look that carries from level to level. Alpine Hardwood installs custom hardwood stair treads, risers, and nosing throughout the Cokato area and the Twin Cities west metro.
Many homeowners with hardwood floors still have carpeted stairs. Converting to hardwood treads is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. We remove the carpet and padding, pull all staples and tack strips, assess the underlying pine or plywood treads, and install hardwood over or in place of the existing material.
No two staircases are identical. Older homes often have stairs with inconsistent widths, depths, or rise heights. We measure and template each step individually, then cut treads to fit precisely.
We use the same wood species and stain color as your main floors so the transition from floor to staircase is clean and consistent. We apply the same finish system for consistent sheen and protection. If you need a specific color match, our custom stain matching service ensures an exact match.
Stair tread installation is often done alongside new floor installation, refinishing, or as part of a new construction project. We coordinate the stair work with your floor project so everything is stained and finished together for a cohesive result.
