Preparing Your Home and Staircases for New Flooring
Successful staircase flooring begins with proper preparation. Our process includes:
Assessing Subfloors and Structural Supports
We inspect and reinforce subfloors, joists, and stringers to ensure each step can handle daily use. In older Detroit and Dearborn Heights homes, this may involve leveling uneven treads or sistering joists for added stability.
Winter & Humidity Considerations for Stair Safety
Michigan’s winter can leave steps slick with snow and ice. We advise clients on traction-enhancing finishes and recommend dedicated entry mats at landings. In summer, our moisture-resistant engineered options help prevent warping during coastal-like humidity spikes near the Detroit Riverwalk.
