Staircase Renovation in Atlanta, GA

A staircase is one of the first things people notice when they walk into a home. In many Atlanta homes — especially those built in the 1990s and 2000s across Marietta, Roswell, and Alpharetta — builders installed carpet on stairs as a cost-saving measure. Over time, that carpet wears, stains, and dates the entire interior. Removing it and converting to hardwood treads with updated handrails and balusters is one of the highest-impact renovations you can make.

The process starts with careful carpet and padding removal, followed by an assessment of the underlying treads. In many cases, the original wood treads beneath the carpet can be sanded and refinished. When treads are too damaged or were never intended to be exposed, we install new hardwood treads that match your existing floors. We custom-stain every tread to blend seamlessly with the rest of your home.

Modern staircase design in Atlanta is trending toward clean lines — iron balusters with a simple basket or knuckle design, paired with stained wood handrails. Open-concept floor plans have also driven demand for open-riser staircases and floating stair designs. Regardless of the style you choose, Georgia building codes dictate specific requirements for handrail height (34-38 inches), baluster spacing (no more than 4 inches apart), and tread dimensions. We ensure every renovation meets these requirements.

A staircase renovation pairs naturally with our other services.
