Custom Stairs & Treads
Custom Wood Stairs & Staircases
Furniture-grade hardwood stairs that match your floors — treads, risers, refinishing, and carpet-to-wood conversions.
Where Floors Meet Stairs
The Staircase Is a Floor on Display
A staircase is the most-seen surface in a home, and nothing pulls a project together like stairs that match the floors exactly. Renaissance Floors builds and refinishes custom hardwood staircases — treads, risers, nosing, and returns — to the same standard as the floors they meet, and we handle the carpet-to-wood conversions that transform a home. We're a licensed CSLB #1060673 contractor serving the California Tahoe/Truckee region and the foothills, and we match species, stain, and sheen so your stairs and floors read as one.
What We Do
Custom Staircase Services
Hardwood Treads & Risers
Solid or engineered treads in the same species and finish as your floors, so the stairs read as one continuous, intentional surface — not an afterthought.
Carpet-to-Wood Conversions
Removing tired carpet from a staircase and rebuilding it in hardwood is one of the highest-impact upgrades in a home. We handle the demo, rebuild, and finish.
Matched to Your Floors
We color-match treads to your existing or new flooring — species, stain, and sheen — so the staircase and the floors belong together.
Refinishing Existing Stairs
If your wood stairs are sound but worn, we can sand and refinish treads and handrails to bring them back and match a new floor's finish.
Nosing, Returns & Detailing
The details separate a custom staircase from a builder-grade one: proper bullnose, mitered returns, and clean transitions at landings and floors. We build to a furniture-grade standard.
Feature & Floating Stairs
For modern mountain and luxury homes, we install treads for open-riser and feature staircases where every board is on display and precision matters most.

Good to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match new stairs to my existing floors?
Yes — matching is the whole point of a custom staircase. We match species, stain color, and sheen so the treads and your floors read as one continuous surface. If we're doing both, we coordinate the finishes from the start.
Can you replace carpet on stairs with hardwood?
Yes, and it's one of the most dramatic upgrades in a home. We remove the carpet, assess and rebuild the stair structure as needed, and install hardwood treads and risers finished to match your floors.
What wood is best for stairs?
White oak is the most popular for its durability and its match to modern wide-plank floors; walnut is a beautiful, warmer statement choice. Stair treads take real traffic, so a hard, refinishable species like oak is a safe, timeless pick. We'll match it to your floors.
Can you refinish my existing wood stairs?
Often yes — if the treads and handrail are structurally sound, we can sand and refinish them, including matching the finish to a new floor. We'll assess your specific staircase during a free walkthrough.
Do you build the staircase structure too?
Our focus is the wood surfaces — treads, risers, nosing, returns, and refinishing — and the structural rebuild that a carpet-to-wood conversion requires. For work outside a flooring scope, we'll tell you honestly what's needed and who should handle it.
