Lemont, Cook County

Flooring Installation in Lemont

Get stairs and floors in Lemont that match, with treads, risers and nosing that sit tight and feel solid underfoot. We work in Lemont every week.

Lemont flooring installation, stairs included

We install luxury vinyl plank, laminate, engineered hardwood and tile, and we do stairs as part of the same job. A new floor that stops at carpeted stairs looks unfinished, so we can replace the treads, cover the risers and add a nosing that matches the plank. On the level floors, we check the subfloor against the product's flatness spec and level, patch or sand it until it passes. Base, shoe and transitions finish every room before we leave.

We come into Lemont on I-355 and Route 171 and work along Lemont Road and State Street, down by the Des Plaines River and the I&M Canal in Cook County. The town sits on hills and bluffs, and if your house steps down the grade, you may have a run of stairs between every level. Stairs take more hours than open floor because each tread is measured, cut and fastened on its own, and the nosing has to land at the same height on every step. We count the treads at the estimate so the stair work is planned and written into the scope, not guessed.

What a Lemont floor and stair job includes

Stair treads and risers

Old carpet and pad come off the stairs, and each tread and riser gets its own measured piece.

Matching stair nosing

Nosing is chosen to match the floor, fastened to the step, and set at an even overhang top to bottom.

Landings tied to the floor

Where stairs meet a landing or hall, the plank and nosing line up so there is no lip to trip on.

Prep on every level

A house that steps down the hill gets a flatness check and the leveling or sanding it needs on each floor.

Finished stair sides

We trim out the open sides of the stairs and the base at each level so no raw edge is left.

Appliances unhooked and rehooked

We clear the rooms, disconnect the appliances that sit on the new floor, and hook them back up when we finish.

How a Lemont flooring job runs

We measure every room and count every stair at a free estimate, then hand you a written scope with the product, the stair count and the trim. Stairs sometimes hide damage under the carpet, like a cracked tread or a loose stringer, and if we find it we price the repair in writing and get your approval first. We schedule the stairs so you always have a way up and down. At the end we walk the floors and climb the stairs with you.

  • Treads, risers and nosing that match the floor
  • Even nosing overhang on every step
  • Stair damage priced before it is fixed
  • A way up and down kept open during work
  • Base and transitions done on every level
FAQ

Flooring Installation in Lemont: questions

Can you put luxury vinyl on my stairs?
Yes. We use stair nosing made for the plank and fasten each tread so it does not flex or click. On a staircase with heavy wear, we may recommend replacing the treads instead of covering them.
Do you install floors near Lemont?
We do. Homer Glen, Lockport, Woodridge and Darien are all on the route, and the stair work runs the same there.
How much time do stairs add to a flooring job?
A standard staircase usually adds a day or a bit more. We count the steps at the estimate and put the days in writing.
Does Lemont require a permit for new flooring?
A floor covering swap usually does not. Rebuilding stair structure or replacing joists can, and in that case we check with the village and pull the permit before the work starts.
How do I book an estimate?
Call or text (815) 585-1750. If you send a photo of the stairs, we can tell you what we see before we come out.
