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?

Having an outdated or worn down staircase can take away from a home’s updated features and even deter potential homebuyers.

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

Very professional, very affordable. I had some wrecked flooring needing to be replaced at home, they did a great job with the tear down and with the install.
Jake Budzinsky 04/29/25 — google
Footprints Floors was a phenomenal experience. Rebecca was so easy to work with and the quality her team’s output was top notch. At the start of the process, we had somewhat of a complex project with new floor installs and refinishing across three levels. Rebecca worked to build a competitive quote that had the right level of detail we could understand and trust. She worked with us on all of the design and material aspects and made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted based on our goals and budget for flooring. Her teams were great during the install, they were very respectful, efficient and brought anything to my attention in advance (even the small things). I strongly recommend Footprints floors for both refinish and new flooring install!

The crew did a great job. We are satisfied with the finished product. Rebecca was very attentive from start to finish. I'm considering some bath updates; I will call Rebecca at Footprints for an estimate.

Rebecca and team were great! Very accommodating to my schedule and needs. Rebecca especially was terrific to work with and would come with my high recommendation!!

Becca and her team did an awesome job on my remodel. We took out the carpet and extended the wood floors into the living room and hallway. The wood looks great, and you can’t even tell it was only in one room! I was nervous about picking a color and they made that easy as well. I wouldn’t go anywhere else when looking for a flooring company!
Lexi Ostrand 02/28/25 — google
My aunt and uncle recently had their hardwood floors refinished, and they couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! Rebecca and her team did an absolutely amazing job. From start to finish, the process was smooth and efficient. They were professional, detail-oriented, and took great care in ensuring everything was done to perfection. The best part, however, is the stain color. It turned out exactly how they had envisioned—rich, warm, and just the right tone. It completely transformed the look of their home, giving the floors a fresh, updated appearance while still maintaining their timeless charm. They are so happy with the final outcome and would highly recommend this service to anyone looking to breathe new life into their hardwood floors. They truly exceeded my expectations!

Footprints Floors added a backsplash to our kitchen. It turned out amazing! The process was easy because they helped us through the steps. It was hard to decide what exact style would look nice so they gave us helpful suggestions. We are so happy with the outcome. The workmanship was excellent and no dust was left behind at the end. My family will definitely hire Footprint Floors again to do our next project.

Being new to the area, I was flying blind when looking for a flooring contractor. From our first meeting to get measurements until clean up after the install, I was very happy. I've always said, long after the price is forgotten, the quality will be remembered. Trust me, with Footprints Floors, you'll get a professional job done at a fair price!

We recently had a water leak below our kitchen sink which damaged our flooring. We went to Angie's list and picked 3 contractors for quotes. I picked Footprints Floors Waukesha. Rebecca Harvey worked up a quote for removal of old flooring approx 900 square feet and installation of new flooring. Footprints concept let's owner pick a product and Rebecca worked up a material list and sent to our vendor. She said they could start 1/27/25, would be at our home at 8:00am. Rebecca and her crew arrived at 8:00, she walked the foreman thru the details and said she would return during the day checking on progress and any needs the crew might have. The crew as excellent and very professional and a pleasure to work with. The removal was done by mid day and installation was begun. By 5:00pm, install was 80% complete. Rebecca and crew returned Tuesday at 8:00 by by mid morning install of floor complete. Began reinstalling baseboards, quarter round and transition pieces. The craftsmanship of the crew was excellent. They finished all caulking and cleanup by noon. I would give Rebecca and here crew a 5 star rating. Rebecca was a pleasure to work with.
PETER Schwantes 01/29/25 — google
Our project was new tile in several rooms. Rebecca was clearly committed to the success of this project from start to finish. She was very prompt to reply to any questions, had her team on site when she said they would be there, and had no surprises on price or timing. She was clearly very personally engaged and cared about our satisfaction. I liked that she also allowed us to manage the job and save some money by doing some of the work ourselves - some contractors did not allow this. Overall, we were very satisfied with Rebecca and the outcome of this job and would recommend her to others.
Glenn 11/26/24 — google
We had a large kitchen remodel we were doing and when we ripped out the cabinets we realized it was some floorboards that were missing as well as a very large hole in the floor. Footprints flooring did an excellent job of lacing in the new wood and repairing the damaged floors. I would highly recommend them. Professional, courteous and very easy to work with.

Rebecca and her team did a great job on my three bedroom floors. They came when they said they would and I am very pleased. Dan is a true craftsman and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Picture of one of the bedrooms before and after.
