Stairs & trim in Kaufman, TX

Usually, yes. We measure the height difference at each doorway first, then decide between building up the low side with self-leveling compound, using a purpose-made reducer, or feathering the transition across a wider run. On additions with more than about an inch of difference we'll say so up front, because that changes the price and the schedule more than the flooring choice does.

It's common in Kaufman houses from the 1960s and 70s and it needs handling properly, not scraping in a hurry. Depending on what's underneath, the right answer is mechanical removal or a proper encapsulation layer before the new floor. We'll look at it during the free estimate so it's priced in from the start rather than turning up as a surprise mid-job.

Yes. We offer financing through Synchrony and Wisetack, so a whole-house floor doesn't have to be paid in one lump. We'll bring samples to the house, measure, and give you a written estimate for free, no charge whether or not you go ahead. Once you decide, we can usually be starting within about two days.

Usually, if the product can be identified. Bring us a spare plank or a photo of the carton and we look for a nosing from the same line first. If it has been discontinued, a stain grade nosing finished on site gets closer than a stock profile in a similar color. We would rather say a true match is not achievable than install one that reads wrong on every step.

Most residential flights run two to three days once material is on hand, and the stairs are out of service for part of that. In a two story house with one staircase we sequence the work so the flight is walkable overnight, or split it and do half at a time. Tell us at the estimate if someone in the household cannot manage a detour.

No, and most people choose not to. White painted risers under a stained tread is the standard look in newer Dallas area homes and it ties the staircase back to the baseboard and casing already in the house. Matching stained risers give a darker, more solid result. Decide before the treads go down, because cutting paint in cleanly around finished treads is slow work.
