Do you install LVP stair treads with matching nosing?

Yes. LVP stair treads with matching nosing are a durable, cost-effective way to carry an LVP floor up the stairs. The nosing is the key safety and wear detail at the front edge of each step, and we fit it solid so it does not loosen underfoot over time.

How long does one staircase take?

A standard staircase is often a one-to-two-day job depending on the number of steps, whether risers are included, and any squeak or loose-tread repair we find once the carpet is off. We give you a realistic timeline in the written quote after we measure.

Can stairs match my new floors?

Yes — matching the stairs to your new floor is the whole point of the conversion. We match species, color and finish as closely as the product line allows so the staircase reads as part of the same floor, with clean transitions at the top and bottom.

Do you replace risers too?

Often, yes. Capping or replacing the risers gives the staircase a finished, built-in look rather than leaving painted or carpeted risers against new wood treads. We talk through replacing versus capping the risers at the measure, since it affects both the look and the cost.

What's included

What stair flooring includes

Stairs are the one place a flooring upgrade shows most, and the one place it is easiest to get wrong. We handle stair flooring across Huntsville: converting carpeted stairs to hardwood, installing LVP stair treads with matching nosing, and making the staircase match the new floor at the top and bottom.

Stair work is finish carpentry, not just flooring. Treads and risers have to be cut and fit tight, the nosing has to be solid underfoot, and the transitions at the landing have to line up. Done right, a wood staircase is the centerpiece of a two-story home.

This is a favorite job in Madison and Owens Cross Roads, where so many two-story homes came with carpeted stairs that owners now want in wood.

Where it fits

Is stair flooring right for your home?

Stair flooring makes sense when you are upgrading the floors downstairs and the carpeted stairs no longer match, or when stair carpet is worn, stained or dated. It is also a safety upgrade — solid wood treads with proper nosing give better footing than loose, matted carpet.

It is the natural companion to a hardwood or LVP install on the main level, because a staircase that still wears builder carpet undercuts the whole look. Converting it ties the two floors together.

If your stairs squeak or a tread feels loose, that is worth fixing as part of the conversion while the carpet is off and the structure is exposed.

Our process

2
Remove the carpet
We strip the old carpet and padding and inspect the treads and risers underneath.
3
Address squeaks and loose treads
With the structure exposed, we re-secure loose treads and quiet squeaks before finishing.
4

Cost factors

What drives stair flooring cost in Huntsville

Stairs cost more per step than flat flooring because each tread and riser is cut and fit by hand. The drivers:

Number of steps and whether risers are included
Hardwood treads versus LVP stair treads
Matching nosing and finish to the main-level floor
Squeak and loose-tread repair under the old carpet
Railing and landing transitions

We quote stairs as their own line because they are their own job. The written quote shows the staircase separately from the floors so you can see exactly what the conversion adds.

Rules & permits

Permits, codes and standards for stair flooring

Finishing existing stairs is finish work, but structural stair changes can fall under City of Huntsville building codes and Alabama licensing thresholds. Standard tread, riser and nosing dimensions exist in the building code for safety, and we work within them.

We note the stair scope in your written quote, including any squeak or loose-tread repair uncovered once the carpet comes off.

What customers say

Real Google reviews from Perfectum Floors customers.

“I cannot express enough how wonderful my experience was! They were professional and courteous through the whole process. All of my questions were answered as needed. They worked hard so that I could get to things I needed during construction. I have a dog, and they were very kind to her. By the end of the construction I felt as though they were family and my floors were fabulous! I will call on them again and would recommend them to my friends and family too.”

Cat FearingGoogle review

“This company did an amazing job with our floors! Lucas and his team did great work. They communicated well and were nice to work with. They worked efficiently and precisely and cleaned up afterwards. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have floor work done.”

Alexa HildnerGoogle review

“Great team. Happy with communication and install. Hard working and prepared. Power went out during the install and in 10 minutes they had a generator running lights and were back at work. Will definitely use again.”
