At Dr. J’s Hardwood Flooring, we take pride in delivering exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail in every project. Recently, we had the pleasure of transforming a client’s staircase in Lincoln, California, with a custom installation of skirt boards, risers, and LVP flooring. Our goal was to ensure both aesthetic appeal and functionality while adhering to local building codes.
Removing Old Materials
Our process began with the removal of the old carpet pad and tack strip, which prepared the staircase for a clean and precise installation of the new components.
Measuring for Compliance
Next, we meticulously measured each step to ensure compliance with California’s building codes, which require a minimum step depth of ten inches. . Accurate measurements are crucial for Code and for maintaining both safety and functionality.
Preparing the Stairs
To lay a solid foundation for the new installation, we furred out each step to meet code requirements. We then cleaned and prepped each stair using a vacuum and a 36-grit belt sander to remove any residual sheetrock mud and paint. Proper preparation ensures a flawless finish.
Installing Skirt Boards and Risers
With the stairs prepped, we moved on to installing the skirt boards and risers. We carefully notched out each step for the skirt boards using a precise template for a perfect fit. Once the skirt boards were in place, we installed the paint-grade risers between them.
Painting and Flooring Installation
After the skirt boards and risers were installed, we allowed the paint to dry completely. We then proceeded with the installation of LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) flooring. It was crucial to ensure that the risers were installed high enough to allow the new flooring to slide underneath seamlessly.
Final Touches
Once the LVP flooring was installed, we added the stair nosing to complete the project. The result was a beautiful contrast between the new flooring, paint-grade skirt boards, and risers, with a matching handrail enhancing the overall look of the staircase.
