Stairs & Trim in Sikeston, MO
Stairs and trim are the difference between a floor that has been installed and a floor that has been laid down. Anyone can cover the middle of a room. The finish carpentry at the edges — the stair nosings, the shoe mould, the transitions in every doorway, the scribe against an out-of-square wall — is what your eye actually reads when you walk in. It is the slowest part of the job and it is where most of the skill is, which is why we quote it as real work rather than burying it as an afterthought. Installed by our own crew across Sikeston.

Sikeston is home for us — the showroom is on Virginia Street, so a sample board is never more than a few minutes from your door. The city straddles the Scott and New Madrid county line and sits where I-55 meets I-57, which is why it has always been a crossroads town. That mix shows up in the housing: platted lots from the 1860s downtown, post-war ranches out toward the parks, and newer builds on the edges.
John Sikes platted Sikeston in 1860 ahead of the railroad, and the city now spans both Scott County to the south and New Madrid County to the north. Roughly 16,300 people live here, and the Cotton Carnival has run every year since 1944. Unilever, Missouri Delta Medical Center and the school district are among the largest employers.
For a flooring crew that spread of build dates is the whole job. Downtown houses near the original plat tend to have wood subfloors over crawlspaces, out-of-square rooms and door casings nobody wants to re-cut, so we scribe to the wall rather than trust a chalk line. The post-war ranches out by the parks are usually flat and predictable and go quickly. Newer construction on the edges is slab-on-grade, which changes the conversation to moisture and underlayment rather than joist deflection.
Sikeston sits on the Mississippi alluvial plain, and the sandy soils across southeast Missouri are the reason the region is watched so closely for liquefaction. That is a rare-event concern rather than a daily one, but flat, fine-grained ground does mean slabs here move seasonally, and it is why we check a slab for flatness and moisture before quoting a rigid plank rather than after.
Practically, being local is the difference. We carry samples to the house so you see them in your own light next to your own trim, and because the showroom is in town we can put a second option in your hands the same week rather than the next month.

Stairs & Trim in Sikeston, questions
Do you have a showroom in Sikeston?
Yes. We are at 614 Virginia Street in Sikeston, and you are welcome to come in and walk the samples. Most people find it easier the other way round, though — we bring the samples to your house so you can see them against your own walls, trim and light before you decide.
How quickly can you get to a Sikeston home for an estimate?
Sikeston is our home town, so it is usually the fastest place on our map to reach. Call 573-471-8700 and we will find a time that suits you, measure the rooms, leave samples with you and follow up with a written figure.
My house is one of the older ones downtown. Is that a problem?
It is normal, not a problem. Older Sikeston houses often have wood subfloors over a crawlspace and rooms that are not quite square. We check the subfloor for movement and flatness first, and we scribe cuts to the actual wall line so the finished edge looks deliberate.
Can you do the stairs if we are only replacing the upstairs floors?
Yes, and it is usually a good idea to do them together. The staircase is read as one object, so a flight that does not relate to the floor at the top of it is very noticeable. We will price it either way so you can decide.
Can you match our existing baseboard?
Often. Profiles do get discontinued, so we will check what is available and tell you honestly whether it is an exact match, a close one, or whether re-running a whole elevation gives a better result than a near-miss.
Do we need new shoe mould, or can the old go back?
Sometimes it can, if it came off cleanly and is in good condition. Frequently it splits on removal or was painted in place, in which case putting it back looks worse than replacing it. We will tell you which yours is once it is off.
