Tread samples ride in the estimator's truck. Set them against your floor at the foot of the stairs and the right wood and stain show themselves.
Loose steps get screwed tight before anything new goes on. Then the installer scribes each tread to the stringers, glues it and fastens it so it stays silent.
Each staircase is built by NWFA certified installers with full insurance, and a year of labor coverage follows the job. If something shifts, we come back.
