Tread Samples at Home
A few sample treads ride in the truck. Lean them against your bottom step beside the hallway floor and the right species and stain usually jumps out at you.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Mill era staircases on Adams side streets are rarely square, so every tread is measured on its own, trimmed to sit tight against skirt and plaster, then glued down.

One Year Stair Warranty
NWFA certified carpenters on our own payroll build every staircase, and they're all licensed and insured. A tread that loosens or creaks within a year gets fixed free.
/ OUR SERVICES
Staircase Renovation in Adams
A lot of Adams houses near Center Street Square were built for mill workers, with narrow, steep staircases that get climbed dozens of times a day. Our carpenters take out tired carpet, screw any loose steps down tight, and set each new hardwood tread by hand so the top step meets the hallway floor evenly.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Each staircase is different. We'll talk through which hardwood to use, whether risers should be painted or stained, and how rounded the front edge should be.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak takes a stain color evenly, and it blends with the narrow strip flooring in many older Adams houses.
White Oak Treads
White oak has a finer, cooler look that pairs well with a bright foyer and pale painted walls.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory has bold, rustic grain and handles dents well; maple stays smooth, light and clean.
Painted or Wood Risers
White painted risers pop against darker treads, but risers stained to the treads' color look nice too.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
On stairs with one open side, each tread end is mitered and wrapped so the end grain stays hidden.
Landing Treads
A landing tread caps off the uppermost step or a midway turn and sits flush with the hallway floor.

More Than Steps: Our Adams Floor Work
After the stairs look new, the upstairs hall may look tired by comparison. We refinish landings, install oak in bedrooms, lay LVP or laminate down in a finished cellar and fix damaged spots anywhere.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does one new stair tread cost in Adams?
Each new hardwood tread costs $60. A typical Adams staircase has about a dozen steps, and we'll give you a total at the free visit after looking at the stringers and walls.
Can my old oak steps be refinished instead?
Often, yes, if they're solid under the carpet. Refinishing costs $50 per step, with the nosings sanded by hand and a stain that blends with nearby floors.
When can the family go up and down the stairs again?
Most tread jobs take one or two days. If there's staining, we plan the work so you can still get upstairs at night, sometimes doing every other step first.
Will the new treads squeak?
Rarely. Loose steps get screwed tight to the stringers before treads go on, and glue plus nails hold each one firmly, which stops that familiar creak.
Will the new stairs match the hall upstairs?
Yes. We choose a wood and grain that resemble your upstairs floor, and we try out stain on leftover pieces until the steps and hallway look like one floor.
Do you install railings or balusters?
We focus on treads, risers, nosings and landings. We work around your existing railings and will tell you honestly if the newel post needs another tradesperson.
When is stair work paid for?
New treads: labor is paid once our carpenters arrive. Refinishing the steps you already have is billed in two equal halves, the first as the dust masks go on and the second after you've seen the finished stairs.
What if a tread comes loose later?
We warranty the workmanship for a year. If any tread moves or begins to creak during that time, a carpenter will come back and fix it at no charge.
