Minneapolis Flooring Installation For Stairs From Top Industry Professionals


If you’ve started or are considering a home renovation, you’ve probably thought about the big things; a kitchen remodel, maybe a bathroom update. But have you considered giving your home a facelift by getting your stairs redone?

The staircase is often one of a home’s most prominent architectural features. Having an outdated or worn down staircase can take away from a home’s updated features and even deter potential homebuyers. A staircase remodel can instantly lift the appearance and aesthetics of your home. A well-maintained staircase is also an important part of keeping your home safe, as worn steps or loose parts can become dangerous.

Why Remodel Your Stairs During
Renovation?

Stairs are a beautiful architectural piece in your home, but there are many other reasons it’s a good idea to keep them updated. Whether it’s a full-scale remodel to match a home’s new look or just a new set of treads and risers, keeping your stairs in good shape is good practice as a homeowner.

  • Safety: A staircase is one of the highest traffic areas in a home, and as they become worn down over time, they can quickly become a safety hazard. Old stairs can become loose as the foundation settles, and wood stairs that aren’t maintained can become slippery. Loose holds or wobbly steps can also be dangerous. Well-kept stairs are less likely to lead to a fall, slip or other accident.
  • Home Value: In addition to making a home safe, an updated staircase is an important contributor to a home’s value. Scuffed or worn risers, broken spindles or steps that need to be refinished can lower home value.
  • Appeal: Along with increased home value, a beautiful staircase also has increased buyer appeal. If the staircase doesn’t match the rest of the home, it can be a drawback.

What is Stone Flooring?

Stone flooring may be a good choice for those who prefer an earthy feel. One can choose from many stone flooring types, including limestone, travertine, granite, marble and slate. The characteristics of those options will vary with each choice.

Limestone


Limestone flooring is a type of stone flooring that can be found in many modern-day residences. This type of stone flooring is not only popular, but also has many benefits. Limestone floors are one of the most durable types of materials due to their tough and heavy characteristics.

Limestone floors can hold up against scratches and spills, which means they do not need to be refinished as often as other materials.

Travertine


Travertine flooring is made of limestone that has been compacted and cemented together. Travertine comes in various colors, from tan, to brown, to black, each with unique characteristics.

Travertine can be challenging to install on your own due to the weight of the stone and the fact that it may not adhere if not correctly pressed down onto a surface. Travertine flooring will have a natural feel, as all the color variations come from natural impurities in the stone's formation.

Granite


Granite is an igneous rock that has formed over millions of years by the cooling and solidifying magma below Earth's surface. It is one of the hardest natural materials known to man. Granite's physical characteristics make it preferable for flooring as it has a uniform grain and texture, making each slab naturally easy to split into slabs.

The uniformity of granite also means that there are rarely any surprises with the final product because every piece will look similar to its neighbors.

Granite flooring is resistant to heat, water, scratches and stains, making it great for kitchens and bathrooms where spills are common. It is also very durable, so the stone can be used in areas with heavy traffic such as hallways or foyers without wearing down or becoming damaged easily. The surface of granite has a low porosity which makes it resistant to dirt buildup.

Marble


Marble is a metamorphic rock of mineral aggregate, with variable hardness and a high natural polish. It can be used as a cheaper alternative to granite flooring.

Marble slabs are generally more economical than granite slabs. Although marble slabs have a glossy appearance, they may have a slight sheen or texture that makes them less desirable for high-traffic areas at first glance. Still, marble slabs offer many of the same benefits as granite slabs with less expense involved.

Slate


Slate flooring is a type of stone that is found in metamorphic rocks. Slate is mined from the earth and then worked to create versatile flooring options for different applications. Slate can be polished to have a high sheen, matte finish — or somewhere in between. There are also textured slates available for those who want a more rustic look without the additional cost of installation.

What Does a Stair Remodel Involve?


Choosing to remodel your staircase can be a small or large project, depending on how much work and how many things you want to change. From wood stairs to carpeting and railings, each part of the staircase can be renovated or repaired. Remodeling possibilities include:

Handrails

Whether the railings are loose, worn or just don’t fit your interior style anymore, these can all be tightened or replaced.

Newel Posts

These are the posts that hold up railings. If they are loose or broken, it can affect the whole handrail.

Balusters

Balusters are the decorative parts of handrails. Iron and wood are the most popular options for these. If you choose to replace your treads, you’ll also have to replace the balusters.

Treads and Risers

Treads and risers are the actual “steps” of a staircase, and may need to be replaced if they are wobbly or worn down.

What Our Customers Say

Footprints Floors did an excellent job refinishing our cabin oak floor and 2 stairways. They did exactly what we had agreed upon and worked hard to get the color just right. Walter worked hard and long to complete the job on time. Hayden was quick to respond to all of our questions. We are very happy with our floor!

Hayden and Walter and crew refinished our 34 year old oak floor and added a matching wood floor in our hallway, which used to be carpet. They worked hard to match the old floor and it looks seamless and beautiful. They were easy to work with, friendly and pleasant. We recommend Footprint Floors!
Carolyn Krech 07/3/25 — google
Footprint exceeded my expectations! They knew what they were doing and finished on time and within our budget. Hayden and his crew are professional, educational, and most importantly honest every step of the process. I couldn’t be happier with my beautiful new floors. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again for my next flooring project!

Their work on our commercial entryway project was excellent, as expected. What wasn't expected was their extreme flexibility and professionalism when problems and delays arose that neither of us caused. Outstanding. Definitely will use them again, and highly recommend them!
John Kingery 01/15/25 — google
We thought about having our floors refinished for quite some time but weren't sure who to go with. The floors were solid wood that had been stained and prefinished prior to installation. We were told that this is process would be tricky, time consuming and that possibly we wouldn't be pleased with the outcome. Needless to say, we were concerned but went with Footprint Floors to get the job done. Carson and staff were very helpful in every way to ease our concerns. The floors turned out great and we couldn't be happier. It really was a refresh for our kitchen!
Liz Bray 12/4/24 — google
Top notch company! Great communication and follow thru. Details that may have been missed during initial consult were immediately dealt with in a very professional manner. Craftsman were sensitive to our home cleanliness and took additional steps to contain each area to our satisfaction. This company has earned any work from us in the future. I would strongly recommend them for any future flooring projects!

Hayden and his team at Footprints did a great job on our project the whole way through. They installed solid red oak on our entire main level, and we are very happy with the results. The quality of work is exceptional, and we get compliments all the time from friends. Hayden was very professional in communicating, and answering all of our questions. You could tell he cared about us, and the results show it. The new floor was well worth it, and such a nice improvement to our home. I would definitely trust them again with any future flooring project. Thanks Footprints!
