Carpeted stairs
Carpet on stairs can be fitted waterfall, where the carpet runs straight over the nose, or upholstered, where it is wrapped tight to the profile of each tread and riser. Upholstered takes longer, uses more material and looks considerably better on an open staircase.
Either way the cushion and the fastening matter more than on a flat floor, because a stair carpet that is not held properly will creep down the flight over a few years and show as a ripple on every tread.
Hardwood and LVP stairs
Hard-surface stairs need matching treads, risers and nosings, and the nosing profile is what makes the flight read as part of the floor rather than an approximation of it. Where the stair material has to match a floor from a different product line, we tell you honestly how close the match will be.
Open sides and returns need mitered ends worked on site. It is slow and it is the difference between a staircase that looks built and one that looks covered.
Built for Upper Arlington homes.
Upper Arlington started as the Country Club District, when brothers King and Ben Thompson bought 840 acres in 1913 and laid it out on a Garden City plan by the landscape architect William Pitkin Jr. It incorporated as a village on 20 March 1918 with 200 people and became a city in 1941. The 2020 census counted 36,800 residents. Big lots, generous setbacks, and houses built to a standard that expects the same from a floor.
Structurally they are pre-war and inter-war houses and behave that way. Plank subfloors, joists that have settled over a century, decks that are not flat within modern tolerance, and original hardwood under carpet regularly. A rigid-core product bridges the dips rather than following them and eventually reads hollow, so the honest options are to level the deck properly or to specify something that tolerates the variation. We will tell you which we would do and why.
The city grew again through mid-century, peaking near 39,000 in 1970, so there is a substantial band of post-war housing too, with the standard suburban issues — plywood decks unchecked since construction and layers of previous flooring that have raised the finished height.
