Stairs & trim in McLendon-Chisholm, TX

No, but we plan for it. We walk the drive during the estimate and decide whether the truck can reach the house or whether we shuttle the last stretch. Acreage properties out here actually make the job cleaner, because there is room to set up a cut station well away from the doors and keep the dust and noise outside the house.

The material does not change, but the labor can. Sonoma Verde floorplans repeat, so measuring and layout go quickly and there are few surprises. Older custom homes off FM 550 and Highway 205 have out-of-square rooms, hand-built stairs and additions poured at a different elevation, and all of that takes longer to do properly. We quote each house on what it actually is.

Either works. If you want something past the builder's standard package, it is often cleaner to take the base allowance and have us do the floors after closing. We bring samples to you, offer financing through Synchrony and Wisetack, and our own crew does the install with nobody subcontracted. Call (972) 564-5533 and we will talk through the timing around your closing date.

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.
