Treads, Risers and Nosing
Red oak, white oak, hickory and maple are the four tread species. Each one is a full inch thick, 11 1/2 inches front to back, finished with a bull nose and delivered with its riser.

The estimator brings tread samples to your Avon home so you can hold them against the floor at the foot of the stairs.
First the loose steps get screwed down to the stringers. Only then is each tread scribed against the skirt board, glued and fastened.
Stairs are built by licensed, insured, NWFA certified employees, and the labor is covered for one year. Any issue, we return.



Sixty dollars a step, written as $60 per step on the estimate, and that includes the tread, riser, nosing, stain to match your floor and our labor.
Yes. The carpet, the pad beneath it, the tack strips and every staple come off, and that removal is priced at the free estimate.
If they are solid, hand sanding and refinishing is $50 a step. Cracked or worn through treads are replaced.

Nearly always. Loose steps are screwed down first, and each tread is glued and fastened so it stays quiet.
Each exposed end gets a return, so the rounded nose wraps the side and the tread looks finished from the hall.
Unfinished treads often start the next day and finish in about two. Prefinished treads are ordered and take a few weeks to arrive.
We do. The stair labor carries a one year guarantee, and the installers are our own employees, each licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
