Best Material For Staircases

Finding the Right Fit for Your Stairs

Hardwood

Hardwood stairs offer a timeless, classic look with exceptional durability. Popular Alexandria wood stairs options, like oak, maple, and hickory, are favored for their resistance to dents, scratches, and wear. Another benefit of hardwood is that it can be sanded and refinished multiple times.

Laminate

Laminate is a multi-layer synthetic product designed to mimic the look of natural materials like wood, stone, or tile. It is considered a popular and cost-effective alternative to hardwood. It also has excellent abrasion resistance and textured surfaces for improved slip resistance, making it a great choice for staircases.

Luxury Vinyl (LVP or LVT)

Luxury vinyl plank or tile is waterproof and highly scratch-resistant, well-suited for busy homes with pets or children. Like laminate, it comes in a wide range of realistic wood and stone designs. Luxury vinyl is a popular choice for staircases because it is soft underfoot and comfortable.

Carpet

Carpeted stairs add softness and warmth to a home. Carpet is a safer option for homes with children or the elderly because of its excellent slip resistance. The dense fibers and soft surface of carpet also help absorb noise, reducing the sound of footsteps on the staircase.

How To Know When It’s Time For New Stairs

Professional Staircase Remodeling

Unless you're newly building, most homeowners are looking for a staircase remodel rather than a full replacement. Updating your staircase is a relatively simple and cost-effective project that can significantly refresh the look and feel of your home.

Stairs are built for high foot traffic, but they can wear down over the years. Below are some signs that it is time for a staircase remodel:

Cracks in Treads and/or Risers: Visible cracks in stair treads or risers usually come from humidity and natural wear. Cracks are a safety concern for your household and should be addressed promptly.
Loose or Detached Handrails/Posts: Handrails are meant to provide support and safety. If they are loose or detached, they become hazardous and lead to accidents.
Creaky Steps: Creaking stairs are common in older homes, but they don't have to be permanent features. These annoying noises can be fixed with simple repairs that restore stability and comfort.
Water Damage: Water exposure can cause warping, rotting, or structural damage to stairs. These issues are serious and may require a full stair replacement to ensure structural integrity.

Stair Flooring FAQs

The cost to install stairs varies widely depending on the type of material used, the overall design and size of the staircase, and the cost of labor. Additional design features like railings, balusters, and finishes will add to the overall price.

Exact figures depend on your project specifics, so it’s best to get an estimate from professionals in the area. You can contact Footprints Floors for a free estimate!

Basic repairs or cosmetic updates to stairs might be manageable for a skilled DIYer with carpentry skills and the proper tools. However, a full staircase remodel is not recommended as a DIY project.

Staircases involve precise measurements, structural knowledge, and adherence to local building codes for safety. Installation mistakes can lead to uneven steps, unsafe railings, or long-term damage.

Hiring an experienced contractor ensures accurate installation, code compliance, and a finished product that’s both safe and attractive.

The best material mainly depends on your personal preference and budget.

Hardwood is a popular choice for its timeless look, durability, and ability to be refinished multiple times. Laminate offers a cost-effective alternative that mimics hardwood appearance with added abrasion resistance.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) provides waterproof, scratch-resistant options with a softer feel underfoot. Carpet adds warmth and slip resistance, and is great for homes with children or elderly residents. Metal and concrete provide industrial or modern looks, but can be less comfortable.

Tile can be visually striking, but it's not a good choice for flooring on stairs. Tile surfaces are often slippery, especially when wet, increasing the risk of falls. Tiles are also rigid and prone to cracking or chipping when exposed to the stress and impact common on stairs.

Tile stairs provide little cushioning, making each step hard on joints and less comfortable. Materials like hardwood, laminate, or carpet are usually better suited for safer, durable, and comfortable stairs.

Great communication, great work, fair pricing. Thanks, Jared.
Eugenio Draschner

10.16.25 - google

Jared was great. Very personable and professional. We needed our wood floors resurfaced. He provided lots of options and gave us a very fair estimate. The work was completed in one day - that was 3 large rooms and a foyer. After years of looking at old, dilapidated wood floors they now look spectacular, and that's not an overstatement. I would definitely recommend Footprint Floors. We will definitely use them again.

We had a great experience with Jared and Footprints Floors of Northern Virginia. Jared was responsive, knowledgeable, and offered quick, fair, transparent pricing. The crew arrived on time each day, and stayed on schedule. Any issues that came up were handled quickly and respectfully, which really showed their dedication to quality service. Our floors and steps look amazing—we are pleased with the results. Highly recommend them for their craftsmanship, reliability, and professionalism!

We found Footprints Floors to be an excellent company. From the initial contact and planning phase with Jared (who is amazing) to the fast and efficient installation of hardwood flooring in two rooms, the entire process was stress free. Most importantly, our new hardwood floors look amazing and their work was very competitively priced. I highly recommend Footprints Floors if you're thinking about flooring work.

Our floor and steps look great and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the start we were provided a complete explanation of the process and guidance to help us achieve the look we desired.

Jared and his team were fantastic! I hired them to redo the floors in my basement and main bedroom/bathroom. Jared looked at both rooms and assured me that even my wacky idea of reflooring underneath the bathroom vanity was possible – and he was right! The team did a wonderful job with both rooms (and did a great job cleaning up afterwards). I would definitely work with them again.
Shawn Bloom

I had the pleasure of working with NoVA footprint floors for a long awaited project of ripping out our carpets and replacing with the HW we had put in on the first floor 3 years ago. Jared was great to work with! Super responsive and extremely thorough. His team did a beautiful job and our HW floors and our stairs look beautiful! I am so happy with the job that was done. ✅ highly recommended!
Laura Brown

Jared came out to meet with me in late 2024 for a flooring estimate and i was very happy that he answered all my questions. Didnt come across as rushing me or irritated by my questions. This was a nice change from other companies. While all 3 floor estimates were within a few hundred $$ of each other i Choose Footprint floors due to this. While along the way i had a few hiccups with the contractor themselves, Jarred was nothing but communicative, quick to respond and dealt with each issue or concern i had along the way with nothing but professionalism. Again this is a nice change from so many companies. Would absolutely hire them again for additional flooring needs.

Annoying Process

04.15.25 - google

We contacted Footprints Floors for an estimate and they had someone at our home the following day. Jared arrived promptly at the scheduled time. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly and conscientious about our concerns. He spent a lot of time looking at every inch of the space to ensure that he could provide us with what we were looking for and gave us a very reasonable estimate. The installers were equally knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The work was done efficiently and the area was neat and clean when they were finished. We could not have been any happier with the results. This is the first company we will call if we are ever in need again. We highly recommend them.

Had LVP flooring installed by Jared and Footprints Floors of Northern Virginia and they did a fantastic job! His team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented, making sure everything was installed perfectly. I was so impressed with their work in my kitchen that I ended up asking them to come back and do the rest of the house. They kept me informed throughout the process and the final result looks amazing. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality flooring installation!

Jared provided the absolute best flooring experience I could have asked for. He and his crew showed professionalism, courtesy, and attention to detail every step of the way. Regarding price, he was very competitive compared to the bigger, commercial names and provided me a quote below competitors while still providing top tier service and quality. If you’re looking for floors, you won’t regret Footprints Floors.
Clay Bawdy

01.24.25 - google

Jared and his crew came in and completely transformed the floors of one of my rentals. The original flooring was warped and had water damage. They replaced them with beautiful LVP that is much more durable for a rental that will take a lot of wear and tear. Oh, my floors no longer squeak! I’ll definitely be using Jared and crew for my other investment properties. Good guy and good team.
Andrew McDonald

Jared, Ricky, and team did a phenomenal job with our floors. We worked with footprints to sand, stain, and refinish all hardwood surfaces throughout our home, update the spindles along our staircase, update/upgrade our basement stairs and add new LVP to our foyer. The team was very professional, responsive, organized, and collaborative. They helped us brainstorm solutions and walked us through each step of the project. We’re very happy with our choice to work with Footprints! The finished product looks amazing.

Jared from Footprints did an excellent job locating a specific floor we were looking for. Not only did he find the floor but was able to get it for us at a lower price per square foot than advertised anywhere else. In addition to excellent consultation, the project was managed impeccably. Dates floor materials and installation were met and cost quote for materials and labor were exactly as quoted. The installation was also excellent. The install team worked tirelessly to complete the job in two days. The tem of 3 were curious and friendly. Their workmanship was excellent as they paid attention to every detail.

Outstanding craftsmanship and work installing floors throughout our home. Communication could be better to include daily hours of crews and time windows to be home to facilitate house access. Sometimes had to follow-up a few times to confirm an appointment. Amir stopped by to pickup extra flooring, as agreed to. Overall great work and would recommend.

They are the right guys to help with your flooring needs. Now we have a beautiful bathroom without that annoying squeak. They are also respectful, kind, and most of all knowledgeable about their craftsmanship.
Chelsea Gray

08.17.24 - google

They did a fantastic job on my 100 year old floors! I wanted to keep the floors character and imperfections, but spruce them up, and they delivered. They completed the pretty large job in just 2 days (entire house is wood floors). It has been over a month and the floors still look amazing. During the floor work, a water line on my fridge burst (not their fault- It was related to the fridge being moved 10+ times earlier in the week) and one of the workers was able to repair the line immediately, which obviously saved me a ton of stress. Can't recommend them highly enough, they do great work, have great customer service, and in particular are good with old floors. I was anxious letting someone work on my floors because of their age but they took great care with their work. See photos for the before and after.

Jared was wonderful to work with right at the beginning. He took the time to explain all the details before we embarked on the major home project that is flooring. What is even better about Jared is his calm and rationale demeanor. He answered all our questions and provided insight and rationale without the intention to get to us to spend more $$. He was able to help us with other, smaller projects too, so that things were getting done simultaneously. The work was done fast and efficiently and we love our new floors!

Jennifer Knutzen

Used Footprints for a kitchen backsplash install. Jared was great to work with - very communicative and punctual. The crew that did the install was also awesome, efficient and the final product looks great. I would maybe take a half star off of the review just because the only room for improvement with these guys is giving a little bit more guidance on what materials to purchase ahead of time - I ended up being instructed to buy way too much tile and other supplies that weren't needed and then also had to scramble the day of install to get stuff I didn't know about. In the end no big deal, just led to making some returns. Overall super happy!

Jared and the Footprint Floors team did such a phenomenal job taking care of our floor replacement in our basement.

Great experience working with Amber at Footprints Floors. We were referred to them via Floor and Decor’s design service. We completely replaced all tile and fixtures in two bathrooms.

Working with Phil and Dan was a positive and friendly experience! We had the carpet in our entire upstairs replaced with hardwood and are thrilled with how beautifully it turned out. We got several quotes and felt Footprints provided the best value. They made themselves available for communication at all times and ultimately sent us a team that did really excellent work, quickly. My husband and I especially appreciated the feedback we got during the planning stages that saved us money and kept our interests in mind rather than Footprints just trying to make as much money off of us as possible. We'll certainly use them again if we have any other floor installations.

From start to finish our project was seamless! Phillip provides customer service that is second to none which is a big deal for me. He is responsive and goes above and beyond to make sure the project is just what the customer wants. We had our main floor, red oak hardwood, sanded and restrained with a matte finish. Our original floors had a lot of ambering from the sun and the type of finish. Needless to say, our jaws hit the floor when we returned from vacation. The floors are better than I ever could have imagined. I got three other estimates and their customer service and attention to detail, along with the fair price, made it a no brainer! I’m looking forward to using them on future projects. A+++

If you're on the fence, USE FOOTPRINTS FLOORS. The owner, Phillip, himself came to complete the measurement and estimate of my flooring repair. job. He made it simple and described the process without any "contractor lingo." On top of it, Phillip and his team were incredibly friendly, professional, and warm. It only took a week from the time Phillip completed the measurement to the time the job was done. The team completed it while I was away for the weekend and I trusted them to be in my condo without me present. Do yourself the favor of making your flooring repair/replacement easy and having it done right!

Incredible experience working with Footprint Flooring! Our new house needed the floors sanded and refinished. Philip was extremely helpful and responsive from when I first met him for the estimate and throughout the duration of the process. Bernardo performed a stellar job and even did a third coat (at no extra charge) to make our floors really perfect. Additionally, we needed one wood board replace and it was repaired. Philip and his team were extremely easy to work with. Our floors truly look phenomenal and we are so grateful! When we have future flooring needs, we would definitely use them again!

Footprint Flooring did much more than we originally contracted. I got great advice on the type of flooring, and where to secure it. Phillip, the owner, picked up and delivered the flooring promptly. After expertly installing the flooring, we had a sewage backup, and for a very small charge, Footprint returned and repaired the damage. During the entire process, Phillip was in constant contact with me to advise and update me. I felt like I was treated as a valued person and not as just another job to finish quickly and rush to the next one. This experience of remodeling a basement after a flood has been difficult and frustrating. Footprint Flooring and Phillip has been the best part of this project.

Ryan, Huan, Philip, and their team were simply fantastic. They went above and beyond to ensure that all our flooring requirements were met. The quality of work was top notch. They completed the work in a timely manner, as well. We are extremely happy with the output of the project, and our house looks great with refinished hardwood in the living room, with LVP in the kitchen, in the upper hallway, and in the bedrooms, and with new hardwood on the stairs. Special thanks to Ryan who worked closely with us from start to finish. He was instrumental in ensuring that we received the raw materials in a seamless manner by coordinating with Floor and Decor. Without Ryan, this project would not have been possible. We highly recommend their services, and will definitely choose them if we have any flooring requirements in the future.

Ryan and his team were great to work with when they restored my hardwood floor on a newly purchased house. They were responsive, efficient and the quality and new stain turned out great. My wife and I were very happy with our restored hardwood floors.

The Footprints team did a great job on my floors. I had a very short window for execution and the team delivered. Ryan was responsive and went above and beyond. Definitely a happy customer here!

We’ve used other flooring services in the past, and footprints was such a better value! We were able to go to a warehouse to pick out our own floors from hundreds of options, order what we needed based off of our free estimate. We had everything installed, (four upstairs bedrooms and closets), in only one day! The crew wasn’t satisfied with the way the transitions from our carpet to new floors were laying so they found a different solution and came back to fix it to their standards, which was not even something I would have noticed. I was very impressed with our install crew and with Ryan for taking care of our whole process. Footprints is a no frills style of flooring company, and the freedom to do a couple things on your own saved us a bunch of money, and got us the floors we really wanted. I would highly recommend!

I recently had new hardwood floors installed by Footprint Floors of Northern VA. I was impressed with every aspect of their process. Ryan was very knowledgeable, offered a very affordable quote, the owners followed up before, during and after the job. The contractors were friendly and cleaned up after the job. Overall I couldn’t be happier and will refer them to everyone I know.

I can't thank Jared and the team from Footprints Floors of Northern Virginia for the amazing job they did on my floors and stairs. They were great with working around my schedule and being responsive to my changes and requirements. The work quality was top notch at a very fair price. Everyone from the team was great to work with and have in my home. Overall the work completely overhauled the look of my home in the best way possible. I would strongly recommend them for any flooring project.

Complete or Partial Staircase Remodel

Remodeling your staircase can range from minor updates to a full renovation, depending on which features are worn down and what you want to upgrade. Every part of the staircase can be individually repaired or replaced.

Keeping your stairs in good shape enhances safety, home value, and curb appeal. Below are the main components of staircases you can choose to remodel or repair:

Handrails provide support and safety, but over time become loose, worn, or outdated in style. They can be tightened to restore stability or replaced to better match your home’s interior design.

Newel posts anchor handrails to the wall and bear much of the structural load. If they are loose, cracked, or broken, the entire handrail’s integrity is compromised.

Balusters are the vertical decorative spindles that support the handrail. They play a significant role in the staircase’s style. Popular materials for balusters include iron and wood. When replacing treads, it's a good idea to replace balusters as well to maintain a cohesive design.

The treads are the horizontal steps of the staircase, and the risers are the vertical parts between steps. If they feel wobbly, creak, or show visible damage, replacement is necessary to ensure stability. Replacing treads and risers is the most noticeable and transformative improvement to a staircase.
