Treads, Risers and Nosing
Four species are stocked for Ashburnham stairs, maple, hickory, white oak and red oak. Treads are solid, an inch thick, 11 1/2 inches deep and bull nosed, and each comes with its riser.

Tread samples ride up to Ashburnham in the estimator's truck. Stood against your bottom step, next to the floor they will meet, the right species picks itself.
Ashburnham stairs that rock get screwed to the stringers before any tread is fitted. The new tread is then scribed to the skirt board, glued and fastened, and it does not move again.
The Ashburnham stair crew is NWFA certified, licensed and insured, and twelve months of labor coverage comes with every flight. If anything slips, we put it right.



$60. That buys the hardwood tread, its riser, the bull nose along the front, a stain blended to your Ashburnham floor and the labor to put it all in.
Yes. Carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all leave the Ashburnham stairs, and the removal price is agreed at the estimate before anyone starts.
If they are solid, yes, at $50 a step in Ashburnham. Treads that are cracked or sanded thin by earlier refinishes get replaced instead.
Either. Oak risers stained like the tread give an Ashburnham staircase an all wood look, while white paint gives sharper contrast.
Nearly always. The loose steps are screwed down first, and every new Ashburnham tread is fitted, glued and fastened down so it stays silent.
Every exposed tread end gets a return piece, and the rounded nose wraps the open side of the Ashburnham stair so no raw edge shows.
With unfinished treads the Ashburnham crew can start the next day, and most flights are finished inside two. Prefinished treads are special ordered, adding a few weeks.
Yes. Twelve months on the labor, from Ashburnham crews that are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
