Why Vinyl Stairs Come Up So Often
Stairs take more abuse than almost any other surface in the house — kids running up and down, dogs, moving furniture, daily wear on the same few steps. When we install luxury vinyl plank through a home's main living area, matching vinyl stair treads is one of the most requested add-ons, since carpet on stairs shows wear fast and hardwood can get slick and noisy.
Vinyl stair treads give you a durable, easy-to-clean surface that visually continues the flooring from your main level instead of stopping abruptly at the bottom step.
How We Approach Stair Installation
Stairs are more detail-heavy than open-room flooring — every tread, riser, and nosing has to be measured and cut individually, and the nosing needs to be secure enough to handle constant foot traffic without lifting at the edge. We treat stair work as its own step in the project, not an afterthought tacked onto a floor install.
- Individual tread and riser measurement and cutting
- Secure, non-slip nosing installation
- Matched to your existing or new vinyl flooring
- Built to handle daily traffic, not just look good on day one
Matching Your Stairs to the Rest of the House
If you're installing new luxury vinyl plank flooring, we'll coordinate the stair treads at the same time so the transition from floor to stairs looks seamless rather than mismatched.
Vinyl Stair Installation Pricing
Stair pricing is typically quoted per step rather than by square footage, since each tread and riser involves individual measuring and cutting.
| Option | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl tread and riser installation | $40 – $75 / step | Varies by stair width and complexity |
| Removal of existing carpet or flooring on stairs | Quoted on-site |
Stair count, width, and existing surface all affect pricing. Call (980) 440-3523 or request a free in-home estimate for an exact quote.
Vinyl Flooring Stairs - frequently asked questions
We install treads with proper nosing designed for stairs, which holds up better underfoot than a flat plank simply wrapped over the edge of a step. It's a different installation approach than floor planks, and it matters for safety.
In most cases, yes, especially if your existing floor is a common LVP product. We'll bring samples during your estimate to get as close a match as possible.
A typical staircase takes about a day, depending on the number of steps and whether old carpet or flooring needs to come out first.
Yes. While it's common to pair stairs with a full LVP floor installation, we also take on stairs by themselves — for example, replacing worn carpeted stairs while the rest of the home stays as is.

Because you'll actually talk to the people doing the work. Smallwood Flooring is a small, owner-led company, so when we're in your home, we already know your project inside and out — no call centers, no handoffs, no pressure to upgrade to something you didn't ask for.
We treat every estimate and install like we're working in our own home — showing up when we say we will, communicating clearly about timeline and cost, and cleaning up the job site before we leave. If something isn't right afterward, we come back and fix it.
We focus on three categories so we can do them well: hardwood (including engineered hardwood and refinishing existing floors), carpet, and luxury vinyl plank. Staying focused lets us give honest advice instead of pushing whatever happens to be on sale.
Yes. Every installation we complete is backed by our own workmanship warranty, on top of whatever manufacturer's warranty comes with the materials you choose. If an issue shows up after the fact, give us a call and we'll take care of it.
We're based in Charlotte and work throughout the surrounding area, including Huntersville, Concord, Matthews, and other nearby communities. Not sure if your home falls in range? Just reach out and we'll let you know.
