Custom Stair Renovations

Wondering if Switching from Carpet to Hardwood Stairs is Worth It? Carpeted stairs may seem cozy, but depending on the type of carpet, they can wear down quickly and trap dirt and stains—especially on high-traffic stairs. Hardwood treads are timeless and add increased value, durable, longer-lasting, and low-maintenance alternatives. Want the best of both worlds? Many people choose to add a custom stair runner on top of their treads!

WHY

CHOOSE BRIAN'S FLOORING & DESIGN FOR YOUR Custom Stair RENOVATION?

Are your stairs starting to feel like they've been through a marathon? Whether they're carpeted or sporting wood treads, stairs in a busy household take a real beating.

Over time, these high-traffic areas don’t just age gracefully—they move and settle with the home, developing character (and not always the good kind). From worn-out carpet fibers to scuffed and scratched wood, those steps that once gleamed with pride can end up looking more shabby than chic. But fear not, because at Brian's Flooring & Design, we're here to walk you through the process from start to finish.

And know that it doesn’t stop there.

TOP 5 CARE TIPS FOR YOUR CARPET STAIR RUNNER

Vacuum Regularly – Use a handheld or brushless vacuum to remove dirt and debris and prevent matting and buildup.
Spot Clean Spills Immediately – Blot (don’t rub!) spills with a clean cloth and the manufacturer’s suggested carpet cleaner to prevent stains from setting into the fibers.
Use Shoe-Free Practices – Minimize dirt and wear by encouraging a “No-Shoes-on-Stairs” policy or using indoor slippers on your stairs.
Schedule Professional Cleaning – Deep clean your stair runner annually to remove dirt, refresh fibers, and maintain its look.
Replace Air Filters Regularly - Dust, pet dander, pollen, and other contaminants circulate through your HVAC system and settle onto your flooring. As you move from room to room, you’re constantly tracking these particles throughout your home. To reduce buildup, follow a consistent air filter replacement schedule—your floors (and air quality) will thank you!
