We do not consider this a do it yourself project unless you have patience and attention to detail.
Stairs are a highly visible area of the home requiring precise cutting.
Types of stair substrates the substrate deals with what may be under the carpet.
Some homes may have mortised treads and risers that were built as one large unit, brought to the site and installed.
Others may have a system that was built with standard building materials on site by framing carpenters.
In both cases hardwood can be installed over, but minor preparations may be slightly different.
Pull some of the carpet from the sides.
If you see nails or gaps in the tread against the stair stringer this system has been built on site.
Instead matching stair nosing is available.
This is installed on the edge of the actual step with planks installed against them.
For the time being, this section only deals with installing matching prefinished hardwood on steps.
Stair appearances we basically have two choices; hardwood installed on the steps and risers, or hardwood on the steps with painted white risers.
Both involve similar methods but a white riser installation will cut down on actual time involved.
Preferred materials used with painted risers has always been poplar as it takes paint better than other materials, providing a smoother final appearance without the grain.
Preparation and general knowledge most substrates for steps that were designed for carpet have a nosing that needs to be removed.
This removal allows for new stair nosing to be installed on the steps.
In most cases the preferred method is prefinished material but site finished can be installed on steps as well.
Treads and risers should be installed tight to the stair stringer, often called skirting.
This provides more of a cleaner appearance than what some may find with an inexperienced person claiming they know how to do the work.
Placing trim on the sides is an example of poor workmanship.
What kind of hardwoods can we install on stairs?
Aside of the many types of species, all types of hardwood can be installed on stairs.
The latter is often chosen to match an existing area that may connect or is installed on concrete in the foyer of the home.
Many often ask if click or lock together floating floors are a good fit for stairs.
The answer is yes, but they will have to be glued down.
How long does this project take?
With standard steps three foot in width, an experienced installer should be able to install each step in approximately 4050 minutes.
This does not include any preparation work that also includes removal of carpet, padding, and tack strip as is our case.
