Stairs & Railings in Villa Park
You can tell a good staircase the moment you step on it—no wobble, no squeak, a handrail that feels solid, and a finish that ties in with the rest of your home. At Nash Hardwood Flooring Co., we rebuild and refinish stairs & railings so they’re quiet, safe, and cleanly integrated with your floors. From new treads/risers and landings to updated handrails and balusters, we handle the details that make every trip upstairs feel better—without the chaos of a full remodel.
We’ve worked throughout Villa Park—classic houses near the Illinois Prairie Path, entries off St. Charles Rd, townhomes around Ardmore Ave, and busy families near North Ave (IL-64). Some projects are simple squeak fixes and a color refresh; others call for full stair refacing, new nosings, and modern railings. Either way, you get a clear plan, tidy work, and a staircase that looks intentional next to your hardwood or luxury vinyl floors.
Some homeowners have a look in mind—white oak treads with a natural satin finish and matte black spindles. Others say, “Make it sturdy and match our floors,” and let us guide the choices. Both approaches work. Our job is to deliver stairs and railings that feel solid, look cohesive, and hold up for years.
Why People Call Us for Stairs & Railings
We’ve Seen It All
Stairs are honest: if stringers aren’t tight or riser heights vary, you feel it immediately. We tighten from the stringers up, correct creaks and flex, align nosings, and keep riser heights consistent so every step feels predictable and safe.
Built to Last
We use dependable materials and hardware, then install with the details that matter—solid attachment points, clean miters, smooth handrail terminations, and finishes that stand up to daily traffic. We can color-match treads and landings to your floors for a seamless look.
Made Just for Your Home
Style shifts the mood: stain tone and sheen on treads, painted vs. stained risers, wood vs. metal balusters, traditional vs. modern rail profiles. We bring samples and show undertones in your lighting so the final result fits your trim, cabinets, and floors.
Simple, Clear Process
No guessing. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing, when we’re there, and how long each stage takes. We protect adjacent rooms, manage dust, and clean up daily so your home stays livable.
Our Stairs & Railings
Process
We Stop By & Talk It Over
We assess the current structure—stringers, treads, risers, landings—and note code items like handrail height and baluster spacing. We measure accurately and listen to goals: brighter, quieter, safer, or all three.
Pick the Right Look & Materials
We review options for treads (solid hardwood or engineered), risers (painted or stained), nosings, handrail profiles, and balusters (wood or metal). We’ll sample stain tones in your light and discuss sheen (matte/satin/semi-gloss) to match nearby floors.
Prep & Structural Fixes
We tighten framing, address squeaks, correct unevenness, and set the stage for consistent riser heights and tread depth. Long-term quality is won here—quiet steps and a sturdy feel start with good prep.
Install & Finish
We fit treads/risers and landings with clean lines, align nosings, set handrails to code height, and install balusters with consistent spacing. If finishing on site, we use low-VOC options when possible and manage dust so the space stays clean.
Walkthrough & Care Tips
Top-to-bottom review, fastener checks, and simple care guidance—pads for nearby furniture, approved cleaners, and humidity targets (35–55% RH) to keep wood stable.

Villa Park Homes, Chicagoland Weather
Our climate matters. Dry winters and humid summers can move wood if you don’t plan ahead. We allow proper acclimation, recommend stable species and finish systems, and suggest simple humidity control so treads and landings stay consistent. Homes near the Prairie Path often benefit from sound control on open stairs; sun-splashed entries off North Ave (IL-64) may call for finishes that resist UV and scuffs. Either way, we build for real life in Villa Park.
