Update the Staircase Your Home Sees Every Day

A staircase is one of the most visible features in a home, and one of the first things to look dated once new flooring goes in. MVM Custom remodels interior staircases across the Sacramento area, replacing worn or carpeted treads with new wood, updating handrails and balusters, and finishing the trim so the stairs match the rest of the house.

Whether you want to remove old carpet, switch to a modern railing, or bring the staircase in line with a recent flooring or interior remodel, we handle the carpentry and finish work as one project.

  • Tread Replacement

    Replace worn, squeaky, or mismatched treads with new hardwood matched to your flooring.

Staircase Remodeling & Railings FAQs

Answers to common questions about staircase remodeling & railings with MVM Custom in the Sacramento area.

Can you remove carpet from my stairs and install wood treads?

Yes. Carpet-to-wood stair conversions are one of the most common staircase projects we do. We remove the carpet, prep the stairs, and install new treads and risers finished to match your flooring.

Can I update just the railing without redoing the whole staircase?

Absolutely. Replacing the handrail, newel posts, and balusters is a great way to modernize a staircase without replacing the treads.

Should I remodel the staircase before or after new flooring?

Ideally they are planned together so the treads, transitions, and trim all match. If you already have new flooring, we match the staircase to it.

How do I get an estimate for a staircase remodel?

Send a few photos of the staircase from the bottom and the top, along with what you would like changed — treads, railing, or both — and we will follow up with next steps.

Can you match new stair treads to my existing hardwood floors?

Yes. We select tread material and stain to match your flooring as closely as possible, and use matching nosing at the landings so the transition is clean.

Are modern horizontal or cable railings an option?

They are. Along with traditional wood balusters, we install modern railing profiles that suit contemporary interiors.

Will the staircase be usable during the remodel?

We schedule the work in stages and let you know when the stairs will be out of use so you can plan around it, especially for two-story homes.
