Hardwood Stair Installation and Refinishing in Los Angeles
Stairs take more wear than any other part of a hardwood floor, and they are the hardest part to get right. Every tread is cut and fitted on its own, nosing has to line up from the top step to the bottom, and the color has to match the floor at both landings.
Arbor Hardwood Floors has built and refinished staircases across Los Angeles since 2003: open-riser stairs, curved and spiral staircases, step-downs, and raised platforms with rounded edges. We install new hardwood stairs, convert carpeted stairs to wood, and refinish worn treads, risers, and handrails.
What's Included
New stair installation
Hardwood treads, risers, and nosing fitted step by step, including open-riser, curved, and spiral stairs.
Stair refinishing
Worn treads and risers sanded to bare wood and refinished with the rest of the floor or on their own.
Handrails and banisters
Wood handrails and banisters sanded and refinished to match the treads.
Step-downs and platforms
Step-downs, landings, and raised platforms with rounded nosing finished to match the main floor.
How It Works
- 1
Free in-home estimate
We look at the staircase, the floor at each landing, and whether the stairs need new treads or a refinish.
- 2
Prep and protection
Old carpet or finish comes off, and the rooms at the top and bottom of the stairs are protected.
- 3
Install or sand
New treads and risers are cut and fitted one at a time, or existing stairs are sanded to bare wood by hand and machine.
- 4
Stain and finish
Stain is matched to the surrounding floor and finished with durable topcoats for heavy foot traffic.

What Customers Say
“We used Jaymes and Arbor Hardwood Floors for a house remodel nearly a decade ago, and have used him for other projects since. Jaymes is the definition of a modern craftsman—meticulous, experienced, proud of his work. His crew models those values and delivers results. The silky feel of a wood banister under your hand, the warm expanse of a wood floor with no seams or blemishes, is one kind of reward for working with Jaymes. His dedicated attention to your needs is another. Arbor Hardwood Floors delivers on budget, on time, with results that exceed expectations.”

Yes. Stairs can be sanded and refinished on their own. We match the stain to the existing floor so the stairs blend in with the rooms around them.
