Carpet-to-Hardwood Staircase Transformations
Converting carpeted stairs to hardwood is one of Metro Atlanta’s highest-impact visual upgrades. Carpet shows age fast, traps dust, and wears at the edges. Hardwood instantly creates a clean, upscale, model-home look that boosts appeal in photos, listings, and walkthroughs.
We remove all carpet, tack strips, staples, padding, and debris. Then we tighten stringers, repair framing, install custom-measured hardwood treads, refresh or replace risers, and finish everything with professional-grade sealers.
- Full carpet removal + structural inspection
- Custom hardwood treads sized & scribed perfectly
- White-painted risers for modern contrast
- Low-VOC stains & professional finish systems
- Landing integration for clean transitions
- Options for rich dark stains, naturals, light moderns
This is one of the fastest ways to modernize homes in Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Sandy Springs, and Johns Creek, especially when preparing for a sale or rental market.
