Stair Trim Installation

What This Service Involves

Stair trim is among the most demanding finish carpentry because every angle and reveal is on full display. We install skirtboards, riser trim, and returns with tight scribing to the treads and walls so the staircase looks crafted, not assembled. Stairs endure heavy traffic, so we fasten securely and choose durable materials that resist wear. In older Puget Sound homes with settled or out-of-square stairs, careful scribing keeps the finished trim looking straight. The result is a staircase that anchors the home with polished, high-visibility detailing.
