Treads, Risers and Nosing

Hickory, maple, white oak or red oak, whichever suits the house; the treads are one inch stock, 11 1/2 inches from nose to back, bull nosed, and each arrives with its riser.

Tread Samples at Home

Tread samples come up in the estimator's truck. Set the sample at the foot of the staircase next to your floor and the choice makes itself.

Quiet, Solid Steps

Before any new wood goes down, every loose step is fastened; each tread is then scribed to the stringers, glued and nailed, which is why it stays quiet.

One Year Stair Warranty

Licensed, insured and NWFA certified installers build every staircase, and the labor carries a one year warranty. If a tread moves, we come back.

/ OUR SERVICES

Stair Installers in Ashby

Our stair work spans the old farmhouses by the Town Common, the Route 31 capes, Mill Village and the younger colonials out toward Route 119. Carpet comes up, loose treads get anchored and new risers with hardwood treads go in, often in a day. The stain is applied inside the house.

Wood Stair Treads and Risers

A narrow, steep farmhouse run in Mill Village calls for different treads and trim than a broad colonial flight off Route 119, and we walk you through the wood, risers and moldings for each.

Red Oak Treads

Red oak with a warm stain ties into the original wide boards in the oldest homes around the Town Common.

White Oak Treads

White oak shows a pale, even grain in a bright cape on Route 31.

Hickory and Maple Treads

Hickory stands up to firewood and boots, and maple brightens a dark stairwell in a Mill Village home.

Painted or Wood Risers

Route 119 farmhouse owners usually go one of two ways: risers painted white, or oak risers finished in the tread color.

Open Stairs and Return Ends

An open sided stair in a newer home near Willard Brook gets return ends that wrap each tread at the side.

Landing Treads

On a Trap Falls road colonial, the landing tread sits flush with the upper floor so there is no lip at the top.

How much is a new hardwood step in Ashby?

$60 per step, and that number already holds the oak tread, the riser, the rounded nose, a color matched to the floor and the installation.

Can you get the carpet off the stairs?

Yes, we take off the carpet, the pad beneath it, the tack strip and the staples, and the removal cost is quoted at the free in-home visit.

Could my old treads just be refinished?

Solid oak steps in good shape are sanded by hand and recoated for $50 per step. Cracked or worn thin treads get replaced.

Can the risers be oak instead of paint?

Yes. Staining the risers to match the treads reads as one piece of wood; painting them white sets the treads off sharply.

Will the squeaks go away?

For most stairs, yes. Any step that moves is fastened before we begin, then every tread is scribed to the stringer, glued and nailed so it stays silent.

How is an open sided stair finished?

On a step with an open side, we miter a return piece onto the end so the bull nose wraps the corner instead of stopping short.

What is the lead time and how many days does the stair job run?

Unfinished treads often start the next day and finish in about two. Prefinished treads are ordered and can take a few weeks.

Is the stair work warrantied?

Yes. Twelve months on the stair labor, from installers who hold NWFA certification and full insurance.
