Treads, Risers and Nosing
Treads come in several hardwoods, oak in red or white, hickory, maple and more, each with a rounded bullnose, and we match the grain to whatever floor greets the stairs.

/ ACTON HARDWOOD STAIR TREADS
Stair Installation Cost
Every new hardwood tread we install here is $60 per step. Already have oak steps hiding under carpet? Bringing each one back is $50. A split level in East Acton and a farmhouse near Morrison Farm get those same per step rates.
New Hardwood Stairs
Brand new hardwood, custom cut and fastened, lands at $60 per step, because steps in older houses almost never repeat in size.

Tread Samples at Home
Samples arrive with us at the estimate, and resting a tread right where the bottom step meets your hall makes picking wood and color easy.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Creaks come out first: we fasten wobbly steps tight into the stringers. Next every tread gets scribed so it hugs the wall, then glue and nails hold it for keeps.

One Year Stair Warranty
Our NWFA certified carpenters, licensed and insured, build each staircase, and a one year labor promise covers the work. If a step loosens, we're back.
/ OUR SERVICES
Acton Stair Tread Installers
Colonials in West Acton, split levels near Great Hill and capes along Route 27 all have staircases that see constant traffic. We peel off the carpet, firm up any wobbly steps, then fit hardwood treads one at a time, staining each until it flows straight into the hallway floor.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Staircases differ from house to house, so we talk through the species, how risers get painted or stained and the edge profile until those steps feel right.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak drinks in color predictably and pairs nicely with the vintage oak floors common in local colonials.
White Oak Treads
White oak brings tighter, cooler grain, a sharp look in a sunny entry with pale gray walls.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory shows lively, rugged grain and resists dents, while maple stays smooth, light and modern.
Painted or Wood Risers
Crisp white painted risers make a sharp contrast, though matching oak risers are lovely too.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open stair side gets a return end that carries the rounded nose around so cut grain stays hidden.
Landing Treads
Landing treads finish the top or a midway landing and sit flush against the hallway floor.

More Flooring Work Beyond the Staircase
Treads often kick off a bigger refresh. We can sand the upper hall, run oak through the family room, lay LVP or laminate in the basement, and patch a gouged strip by the bottom step.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will hardwood treads run me per step?
Count on $60 per step whenever a fresh hardwood tread goes in. Most staircases have twelve to fifteen steps, and we give you an exact total at the free estimate after seeing the stringers and walls.
Can my existing oak treads just be refinished?
Yes, if they're solid and in decent shape under the carpet. Refinishing is $50 per step, hand sanded and stained to suit the nearby floors.
How long are the stairs unusable?
Most installs take a day or two. With stain and finish involved, we schedule things so everybody can still reach their bedrooms each night, sometimes keeping one side open.
How do you match treads to the floors upstairs?
Samples and stain cans come to the house, and we try them right next to your hallway floor. Older oak floors usually pair best with red oak, while lighter floors suit white oak.
Can you get rid of squeaky steps?
Yes. Wobbly steps get driven tight with screws and glue into the stringers before new treads go on, which keeps them quiet for many years.
Are hardwood stairs slippery for dogs?
Satin sheen grips better than high gloss, and runners or clear grip strips are options too. Lots of dog owners find a quick sweep beats vacuuming carpeted steps.
How is payment handled on stair work?
Labor is due when the carpenters show up, and the treads themselves get paid for on delivery. Sanding old treads instead? Then half comes up front and half once they're done.
Do the new stairs come with a guarantee?
Each staircase we build has a twelve month labor guarantee, and the wood carries its manufacturer warranty. Should a tread ever shift or creak, call us and those same carpenters return.
