stairs and floor mismatch - please help

I believe the stain applied by our builder on our stairs/railings doesn't match pre-finished hardwood floor. It is not what we ordered (brownish floor) vs. (reddish stairs/railings). Both should be brownish. Is it possible to re stain the stairs/railing to match pre-finished hardwood floor.

According to the builder's inspector, "they have not put the finish coats yet so it wont be that hard". So is it possible?

Should we ask the builder to redo it or is it too risky?

I'm just afraid after resending and all, the color still won't much, and there is a chance whoever will do that will damage hardwood floor and/or carpet installed on the second floor.

I'm meeting the builder's inspector tomorrow, so any help/tips/info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
