Carpeted stairs trap dirt, show wear fast, and date the look of your home. At Creative Flooring Solutions, we convert carpeted staircases to hardwood throughout Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and the Triangle — handling carpet removal, custom tread and riser installation, railing upgrades, and on-site stain matching to your existing floors.
Unlike stair-only contractors, we install and refinish both your stairs and your floors — which means a seamless color match, one point of contact, and one crew in your home instead of two.

The time it takes to install or refinish hardwood stairs depends on several factors, including the size of the staircase, the type of hardwood used, and the complexity of the project. On average, installation or refinishing can take anywhere from several days to a week.

To maintain the beauty of your hardwood stairs, sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris, and wipe up spills immediately. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish. Instead, use a damp cloth or mop and a mild cleaner specifically designed for hardwood floors. Bona is a good cleaner for hardwood.
