Stair Installation & Refinishing
Custom hardwood stair installation and refinishing across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Stairs are the single most-seen and most-walked-on feature of any home — and the place where worn carpet, dated oak, and cheap builder-grade work shows up most. Southlake Floors builds, installs, and refinishes hardwood stairs that match your flooring, your style, and your budget.
Stair services we offer
- Carpet-to-hardwood conversion: Remove old carpet, install new oak or walnut treads and risers. The #1 home-value upgrade on the market.
- Custom treads and risers: Solid oak, walnut, hickory, or maple — matched to your existing floors.
- Iron baluster installation: Replace wood balusters with modern wrought-iron designs (basket, scroll, twist, plain).
- Stair refinishing: Sand, stain, and refinish worn treads back to new condition.
- Curved and circular staircases: Custom-bent stringers and treads for grand entries.
- Stair runner installation: Wool, sisal, or patterned runners with brass or nickel rods.
Why DFW homeowners upgrade stairs first
In Southlake, Frisco, and Plano luxury homes, a custom hardwood staircase with iron balusters is one of the first things real-estate appraisers note — it can add $15,000–$30,000 to resale value on a $600K+ home. For older Dallas and Fort Worth homes with original oak stairs, a full refinish makes the entire entry feel renovated for a fraction of replacement cost.
What a typical DFW stair project includes
Tear-out (if converting from carpet), tread and riser cuts, stringer prep, install, stain matching to existing floors, polyurethane finish, baluster replacement if needed, full clean-up. Most 12–14 step staircases complete in 3–5 working days. Pricing typically runs $1,800–$5,500 for a full carpet-to-hardwood conversion.

What every DFW homeowner should know
Texas weather and soil conditions shape every flooring decision. Here's what we adjust for on every Stair Installation & Refinishing install in this market:
DFW summers hit 100°F+ with 60–80% humidity, then drop to 30% indoors during dry winters. Solid wood expands and contracts noticeably — we always acclimate material 48–72 hours on-site and recommend whole-home humidifiers for installs over 1,000 sq ft.
North Texas sits on expansive clay that swells in rainy seasons and shrinks in droughts. Foundations shift slightly — we check subfloor levelness with a laser before any hardwood install and apply leveling compound where needed (often 1/8"–1/4" of correction in older homes).
