Stairs aren't one line item. They're fourteen. Price them like it.
VEVVO lets stair specialists quote per tread, per riser, per landing, and per runner — without the spreadsheet gymnastics.
Stair work is where general flooring contractors lose money and stair specialists make it. Each tread is its own micro-install, risers and stringers add up, balustrade work is a separate trade entirely. Quoting stairs as "15 stairs at $X" is how you bleed margin job after job. VEVVO lets you bid the way the work actually breaks down so the price reflects the labor.
Per-tread, per-riser, per-landing pricing
Build a stair service in your catalog with per-tread labor, per-riser material, per-landing flat fee, and per-stringer cap-off. The bid auto-totals across however many treads the staircase has. Quote a 13-tread split-level in 30 seconds — without forgetting the landing.
Runner and nosing as upsell options
Carpet runner with stair-rod hardware. Bullnose nosing for solid wood treads. Anti-slip tread inserts for the rental-property landlords. Quote each as a discrete option the customer can opt into — and watch the average ticket climb.
Photo documentation that protects the install
Stairs are the most-disputed jobs in flooring (the homeowner uses them every day and notices everything). Before/during/after photos of every tread, every riser, and every nose detail go into the job record so callbacks have evidence, not just opinions.
Frequently asked questions
Can I quote a curved or pie-tread staircase?+
Yes — flag those treads with a per-tread upcharge in the line item or in a custom job field. The bid total reflects the extra labor instead of you eating it.
What about commercial stair work?+
Same workflow scales up. Multi-flight commercial jobs use the same per-tread pricing across however many flights, with multi-day scheduling for finish-and-cure work.
Can I track tread material separately from runner material?+
Per-SKU inventory tracks both. Tread material as one line, runner material as another, hardware as a third. Inventory deductions happen automatically when the job closes out.
