Stairs & trim in Tigard, OR

Stairs are the most skill-dependent work in flooring and the most closely looked at. Every tread is a separate fitting, the nosings have to line up down the whole flight, and unlike a floor there is nowhere for a bad cut to hide under furniture. In hillside towns like West Linn and Lake Oswego they come up on most jobs, so we quote them as their own line rather than burying them in a square-foot rate. Installed by our own crew across Tigard.

Stairs & trim in Tigard

Built for Tigard homes.

Tigard is a boom town that finished booming. It had 6,499 residents in 1970 and 54,539 by 2020, and the housing reads like a timeline of those decades — Main Street commercial buildings from the 1907 to 1910 railroad era, then wave after wave of subdivision. Bull Mountain, annexed by city voters in 2004, is the hillside end of it. Of the city's 22,829 housing units, 60.9 percent are owner-occupied, which is the profile of a place where people replace floors rather than patch them.

Most Tigard jobs we quote are second- or third-generation floors: original 1970s and 1980s subdivision homes where the builder carpet has long gone and someone's 1990s laminate is now cupping at the seams. Split-levels and daylight basements are common here, which means transitions and stair nosings are half the job — get those wrong and it is the part people trip on and look at every day. On Bull Mountain the lots are sloped and the houses are tall, so stairs, landings and matching trim carry a lot of the visual weight.

Closer to Main Street the housing is older and the subfloor deserves a look before anything is ordered.

Tigard FAQs

Stairs & trim in Tigard, questions

Do you cover Bull Mountain and the unincorporated pockets around Tigard?

Yes. Bull Mountain, Metzger and the areas around Washington Square are all inside our normal service range from the Newberg showroom. Sloped-lot houses usually mean stairs and multiple levels, and we quote those as their own line rather than burying them in a square-foot number.

Our house is from the late 1970s. What usually turns up under the carpet?

Plywood or particleboard underlayment, staples by the thousand, and sometimes a layer of sheet vinyl that was never taken up. None of it is unusual. We look before we quote so the number you get already accounts for removal and any underlayment that has to be replaced, instead of it becoming a change order on install day.

Can you carpet just the stairs?

Yes, and it is a common request in houses with hard flooring on both levels. It is quieter, it is safer underfoot, and the contrast looks intentional. There is a minimum on any job, so if the stairs are the only thing on the list it is worth a quick call to check the numbers make sense for you.

Should the hard floor continue down the stairs?

It can, and it looks excellent when done properly. What it needs is purpose-made stair nosings rather than plank cut and glued over the tread edge. The nosing is what takes the wear and the impact at the front of every step, and skipping it is the shortcut that shows up first.

Our stairs squeak. Can that be fixed while the flooring is done?

Often, yes, and with the covering off is exactly the moment to do it. Squeaks are usually movement between the tread and the stringer, and once we can see the structure we can refasten it. We will tell you what we find before we do anything, so there are no surprise additions.

Do you match new trim to existing woodwork?

We do our best, and in older homes we would generally rather work around original trim than replace it. Where new trim is needed we match profile and finish as closely as the available stock allows. If an exact match is not achievable we will say so at the estimate rather than let you discover it at the end.
