Carpeted stairs are no longer in fashion; they are difficult to keep clean and don’t provide the same “steady” support as hardwood stairs.
At Sullivan Construction we have years of experience designing and installing hardwood stairs, either through remodeling existing staircases or tearing down to frame and replacing with all new parts.
- treads (oak, box open-ended or pie, finished)
- risers (pine poplar or oak, painted or finished)
- handrails (wall-mounted or with balusters & newels; painted or finished)
- balusters & Newels (spindles & posts, painted or finished)
- paint (for all except treads)
- stain
- waterpop to highlight grain
- oil or water-based finishes
- finish selection (satin, semi-gloss, high-gloss)
Stair projects can be standalone or combined with new flooring.
