Stairs & trim in Kaufman, TX
Stairs and trim are the last ten percent of a flooring job and the first thing anyone looks at. A stair nosing sits at eye level and repeats the whole way up a flight, and a transition strip lands exactly where a foot meets it. We handle treads, risers, nosings, baseboard, shoe and the joints between rooms that finish at different heights. Installed by our own crew across Kaufman.

Built for Kaufman homes.
The square has been the center of Kaufman since 1851, and the houses around it still show it: modest frame and brick homes on deep lots, churches from 1877 and 1909, a 1908 bank building on the square itself. Kaufman issued 32 single-family permits in 2025, so this is not a boom-build town the way Forney is. Most of what we do here is replacing floors in houses that have already been lived in hard, plus new work out at Kings Fort.
Kaufman is the county seat and it behaves like one. The town was founded as Kings Fort in 1840, named for Dr. William P. King, and the square has been the focal point since 1851. Population is around 9,785 and up roughly 50% since 2000, real growth, but a fraction of what Forney and Crandall have absorbed, and the permit numbers reflect that: 75 single-family permits in 2022, 49 in 2023, 32 in each of 2024 and 2025.
So the flooring work here skews toward existing houses rather than new construction. In-town Kaufman gives you a wide age range in a few blocks, pre-war frame houses on pier-and-beam near the square, 1960s and 70s brick ranches on slab, and 1990s infill. The older slabs are the ones that hold surprises. Peel back sheet vinyl in a 1970s Kaufman kitchen and you often find cutback adhesive, or a bed of hardened thinset from a tile job two owners ago. Both have to come off or be encapsulated properly before a new floor goes down, and that is prep time people don't budget for.
The other thing we see constantly here is the accumulated addition. A house that started small and grew twice will have three floor heights, and the transitions between them are usually where the old flooring failed. Getting the levels to meet cleanly is often more work than the install itself, but it's what makes the finished job read as one house instead of three.
New work is concentrated in Kings Fort, south of Highway 175, where Bloomfield is building Enclave and Georgetown sections. Outside the city limits, Kaufman-area listings run from about 1.29 acres up to nearly 28, and those acreage builds get treated as custom jobs. Median home value in Kaufman sits near $236,000, which is why we offer financing through Synchrony and Wisetack rather than assuming everyone pays up front.

Stairs & trim in Kaufman, questions
Our house near the square has been added onto twice and every room sits at a different height. Can that be fixed?
Usually, yes. We measure the height difference at each doorway first, then decide between building up the low side with self-leveling compound, using a purpose-made reducer, or feathering the transition across a wider run. On additions with more than about an inch of difference we'll say so up front, because that changes the price and the schedule more than the flooring choice does.
We found black glue under the old kitchen vinyl. Is that a problem?
It's common in Kaufman houses from the 1960s and 70s and it needs handling properly, not scraping in a hurry. Depending on what's underneath, the right answer is mechanical removal or a proper encapsulation layer before the new floor. We'll look at it during the free estimate so it's priced in from the start rather than turning up as a surprise mid-job.
Can we spread the cost over time?
Yes. We offer financing through Synchrony and Wisetack, so a whole-house floor doesn't have to be paid in one lump. We'll bring samples to the house, measure, and give you a written estimate for free, no charge whether or not you go ahead. Once you decide, we can usually be starting within about two days.
Can you match stair nosings to flooring already in my house?
Usually, if the product can be identified. Bring us a spare plank or a photo of the carton and we look for a nosing from the same line first. If it has been discontinued, a stain grade nosing finished on site gets closer than a stock profile in a similar color. We would rather say a true match is not achievable than install one that reads wrong on every step.
How long does a staircase take, and can we use the stairs while you work?
Most residential flights run two to three days once material is on hand, and the stairs are out of service for part of that. In a two story house with one staircase we sequence the work so the flight is walkable overnight, or split it and do half at a time. Tell us at the estimate if someone in the household cannot manage a detour.
Do the risers have to match the treads?
No, and most people choose not to. White painted risers under a stained tread is the standard look in newer Dallas area homes and it ties the staircase back to the baseboard and casing already in the house. Matching stained risers give a darker, more solid result. Decide before the treads go down, because cutting paint in cleanly around finished treads is slow work.
