My husband wants to replace our staircase with laminated wood as well as our porch to make it look more appealing. I support my husband with this decision, so we will contact a wood baluster installation service early in the morning to inquire about the prices and types of wood that they have as supplies.

1. My stair has landing and turn that make irregular shape (not rectangular) . How can I install on it?
2. I want to install my stair to match with an existing foyer hardwood floor. How should I find a close match? or should I install with unfinished planks then stain and finish to match them up?

Thanks,

Hi James,

Thank you for getting in touch! Yes I would recommend installing risers first then the treads to ensure you have all the correct measurements and everything fits together. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

The stairs are a simple box design, straight no landing or turn. Do you recommend installing the stair treads and risers first? I am wondering about this since I will be installing new engineered wood flooring at the top of the stairs too, and want the finishing to be done right, and without excessive challenges due to poor planning.
