Hardwood Stair Installation & Refinishing Across the Inland Empire

Custom hardwood treads, risers, and refinishing for staircases that anchor your home.

For 20+ years, Monteros Hardwood Flooring has been the family-owned flooring crew Inland Empire homeowners call when they want it done right the first time. Every job comes with a written, itemized estimate, on-time crews, daily clean-up, and a lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Refinished hardwood staircase with matching treads and risers

What's Included

  • Solid hardwood treads and risers - no veneer shortcuts
  • Matching to your existing flooring stain and species
  • Code-compliant nosing depth and tread overhang
  • Optional iron baluster swap during install
  • Less noise, more grip - proper underlayment and finish

How a Project Starts

Every stairs project starts the same way - a free, in-home walk-through where we measure, talk through species and finish, and answer every question you have. No rushed quotes, no high-pressure sales script. The estimate you sign is the price you pay.

Materials We Carry

  • Solid oak treads
  • White oak treads
  • Hickory treads
  • Maple treads
  • Engineered tread caps

Why Inland Empire Homes Choose Us

Hot, dry summers and cool, damp winters chew through cheaply installed floors. We acclimate every board on-site, moisture-test the subfloor, and choose the right adhesive or fastener pattern for the climate - the kind of detail that separates a floor that lasts decades from one that cups, gaps, or peaks in two summers.

The Same Crew, Every Time

Whether you're matching a 1950's parquet, fitting wide-plank European oak, or putting waterproof LVP into a busy family kitchen, the same crew shows up with the same standards. That consistency is why we still get calls from customers we worked for fifteen years ago.

Built Around Your Schedule

We give you a real start date, a real finish date, and the crew lead's direct line. No mystery delays, no subcontractor handoffs. If something changes, you hear it from us first.

Our Stairs Process

Every project follows the same clear, predictable steps from estimate to walk-through.

  1. 01

    Tread-by-tread measure

    Every staircase is slightly different. We measure each tread individually for a perfect fit.

  2. 02

    Demo old treads / carpet

    Carpet, tack strips, and old treads removed. Sub-treads inspected and reinforced if needed.

  3. 03

    Custom tread and riser fab

    Solid hardwood treads cut to size with proper nosing. Risers prepped, painted or stained to match.

  4. 04

    Glue + screw install

    Glued and screwed for a squeak-free, lifetime install.

  5. 05

    Stain, seal, walk-through

    Stain to match flooring, sealed with durable polyurethane. Walkable in 24 hours.

Stairs FAQ

Can you match my existing wood floors? +
Yes - that's our most common stair job. We pull treads in matching species, then custom-stain to your floor color. Rare species may need a special order.
Do I have to redo the whole staircase? +
Usually yes for a clean look - treads, risers, and nosings should match. If you're refinishing existing wood treads, we can refinish in place; if they're carpet over plywood, the sub-treads need new hardwood treads on top.
What about my balusters and railings? +
We can swap iron balusters and refinish railings as part of the project. Full railing replacement is more involved and quoted separately.
Are the treads slippery? +
Properly finished hardwood treads have similar slip resistance to floors. We finish with satin polyurethane (less slippery than gloss) and can add discrete grip strips if needed.

"Another local hardwood refinisher flaked on me like 3 days before the scheduled job, but Javier and his guys came on short notice and got my 1,050 sq ft job done in 2 and a half days. They were total pros and my floors look and feel incredible. Communication was stellar as well. Highly recommend their services!"
