Staircase Renovation in Lawrenceville, GA

Lawrenceville blends historic homes near the downtown square with 1980s–2000s subdivisions throughout Gwinnett County. Many homes run 1,500–2,500 sq ft with original red or white oak on main floors — floors that look worn but have plenty of life left with a proper refinish.

Builder-grade dowel balusters are nearly universal in Lawrenceville's subdivision two-stories — the same profile installed by the same handful of builders throughout Gwinnett County in the 1990s and 2000s. Replacing them with square-profile or craftsman balusters is a straightforward upgrade that changes the entire feel of the entry without touching the structure.

Staircases are often the last thing homeowners address in a renovation — and the most visible thing left unfinished when they don't. In Lawrenceville, we see the full range: stairs with worn carpet over original oak treads, formal staircases with dated balusters and handrails, and new-construction stairs with builder-grade components that don't match the rest of the home.

The most common job in Lawrenceville is a carpet-to-hardwood conversion: removing the carpet runners to reveal the tread, patching any nail holes or damage, and refinishing to match the main floor. When done at the same time as a floor refinish, the whole home — floors and stairs — reads as one continuous surface.

Every estimate in Lawrenceville is done in-home — we walk the floors, test the subfloor, and look at the specific conditions of your home before we quote. That means no surprises on project day and no scope creep. We tell you exactly what needs to be done and what it will cost, in writing, before any work begins.
