FIR's standard 13-step box staircase starts at $1,287 installed including carpet removal, substep prep, LVP or wood-look treads, white risers, and nosing planning.
Flatness, moisture, old flooring, adhesive, tile, carpet, damaged areas, and surface contamination can all affect the real installation scope.
Baseboards, quarter round, reducers, thresholds, nosing, landings, risers, and stair returns are often where the project starts to look professional.
Material selection should match the installation method, home conditions, maintenance expectations, and the finish level the homeowner wants.
