Keep stairs clear
Remove décor, gates, stored items, and personal belongings from the full stair path.
Before the project
Prepare for stair and runner installation.
A little planning helps the work start smoothly, keeps the site safer, and protects the finished result.
Preparation checklist
Five steps before we arrive.
Your final scheduling notes and proposal take priority; this guide helps you know what to expect.
Plan another route
Stair access may be limited or unavailable during portions of the installation.
Confirm finish details
Review runner width, centered placement, exposed wood, binding, and transition choices.
Discuss stair repairs
Loose, damaged, or highly irregular components may require separate correction first.
Control pets and children
Keep the stairwell clear of occupants while tools and unsecured materials are present.
Before installation day
Simple site readiness.
Create a clear route
Keep entrances, hallways, stairs, elevators, and the path to every work area open.
Protect people and pets
Arrange a separate safe area away from tools, materials, dust, adhesives, and active work.
Confirm responsibilities
Know who handles furniture, appliances, plumbing, doors, trim, disposal, and other coordinated work.
Share access details
Provide parking, keys, codes, building rules, work hours, and the best day-of contact.
