Stairs & trim in Wills Point, 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 Wills Point.

Built for Wills Point homes.
Wills Point is a Texas and Pacific railroad town from 1873, sitting on U.S. 80 in Van Zandt County, the same highway that runs past our Forney showroom. It was the first community in the county to incorporate, in 1884, and it was named the Bluebird Capital of Texas in 1995. The brick streets downtown went down in the 1920s and are still in service. About 3,700 people live here, most of them in older frame houses on pier and beam or out on acreage past the city limits.
William Wills came through around 1848. The town itself took shape in 1873 when the Texas and Pacific built its line, and on July 21, 1884 Wills Point became the first community in Van Zandt County to incorporate. By 1896 it had an opera house, three public schools, cotton gins and a newspaper. The brick streets downtown were laid in the 1920s and are still there, the Bluebird Festival has been held on them every spring since 1994, and the Rose Monument marks the entrance to the historic district. Twenty historical markers, the White Rose and Jones cemeteries and Bruce Park fill out the rest of it. The 2020 census counted 3,747 people. U.S. 80 and State Highway 64 carry the traffic, with I-20 a short drive south and Van Zandt County Regional Airport at the edge of town.
The housing follows that timeline. The original grid along the railroad corridor holds the oldest stock, frame houses and bungalows, most on pier and beam over a crawlspace. A ring of mid-century ranch houses came later, and beyond the city limits it turns to acreage: ranchettes and country homesteads on gravel drives. Only a handful of registered HOAs exist here, with Willow Lake Estates, Town North Estates and High Point Lake Estates among the newer named additions.
Pier and beam is the flooring story in Wills Point. A crawlspace in a humid subtropical climate, this town has recorded 115 degrees and three below zero, keeps moisture under the deck year round, and a century of that leaves joists that deflect, decking that squeaks and rooms that slope an inch corner to corner. We get under the house and look before we quote. Old one-by plank subfloor almost always needs an underlayment before vinyl plank goes over it, or every seam between boards eventually reads through the finished surface.
The other thing we find here that we almost never find in a new suburb is original hardwood hiding under wall-to-wall carpet. On a 1910s or 1920s Wills Point house it is worth pulling a corner back in a closet before you decide anything. Estimates are free and we bring samples to the house.

Stairs & trim in Wills Point, questions
Our floors bounce and squeak. Is that the flooring or the house?
In Wills Point it is almost always the house. Most of the older stock in the original grid sits on pier and beam over a crawlspace, and after decades in this humidity the joists deflect and the decking works loose. New flooring laid over that will bounce and squeak exactly the same. We look underneath before quoting and price the subfloor repair as its own line so you can see what you are paying for.
There might be hardwood under our carpet. What should we do first?
Pull a corner back in a closet before you commit to anything. Houses in the original Wills Point grid from the 1910s and 1920s often have plank hardwood under wall-to-wall carpet, and what is under there changes the whole conversation. Send us a photo or let us look during the free estimate. We would rather price the right job than sell you the bigger one.
Do you actually come this far east?
Yes. U.S. 80 runs straight from Wills Point back to our showroom at 10 Mustang Court in Forney, so this is a regular route for us. We bring samples to the home, the estimate costs nothing, and we can usually start within about two days once you approve it. The crew is ours and never subcontracted, and labor carries a one-year warranty.
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.
