/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Amherst
Our stair crew works Amherst Center colonials, South Amherst ranches, North Amherst farmhouses and homes near Hampshire College. The carpet is pulled, wobbly treads are screwed to the stringers, and new risers and hardwood treads are fitted, often inside one day. Staining happens indoors, never in the driveway.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A straight farmhouse run and a turning staircase in a Victorian near Amherst College need different wood, risers and trim, so we help you pick.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak under a warm stain ties into the original floors of the older houses around Amherst Center.
White Oak Treads
White oak keeps a pale, even grain in a colonial where the morning sun comes across the Pioneer Valley.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory stands up to boots in a North Amherst mudroom stair, and maple brightens a dark basement run.
Painted or Wood Risers
In South Amherst, owners pick painted white risers or oak risers in the tread stain.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
Where a stair near the Fort River is open on one side, each tread gets a return so the nosing wraps the exposed end.
Landing Treads
At the top step, the landing tread is set flush with the second floor oak.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does one new hardwood step cost in Amherst?
$60 per step. Hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, stain mixed to your floor and the labor all sit inside that number.
Will you remove the carpet from my stairs?
Yes. Carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all leave with us, and the cost of that is written into the free estimate.
Can my old oak treads be refinished instead?
If they are solid, hand sanding and refinishing cost $50 per step. Split or worn thin treads get replaced.
Can the risers be oak instead of painted?
Yes. Risers in oak stained like the treads make the stair all wood, while painted white risers give a sharper contrast.
Will new treads fix the squeaks in my farmhouse stairs?
Almost always. We screw the loose steps down before anything else, and each new tread is scribed, glued and fastened so nothing moves.
How do you finish a stair that is open on one side?
A return piece goes on every exposed end, carrying the rounded nosing around the side, so the tread looks finished from any angle.
When can the crew start, and how many days will it take?
With unfinished treads the job often starts the next day and wraps up in two. Prefinished treads are special ordered and need a few weeks to arrive.
Is there a warranty on the stairs?
Yes. Twelve months on the stair labor, and the crew doing it is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
