/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Ayer
Stairs in the Victorians near the Ayer station, ranches by Sandy Pond, cottages on Long Pond and colonials at Devens get the same process. Carpet comes off, loose steps are screwed down, new risers and hardwood treads go in, and stain is rubbed on in the house, usually in a day.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A narrow Victorian back stair and a wide Devens colonial flight need different parts, so we help you pick wood, risers and trim.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak, warm stained, suits the original floors of the Victorians around Main Street.
White Oak Treads
White oak shows a pale, even grain in a Devens colonial with lots of morning light.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory handles grit from Long Pond, and maple brightens a dark stair in a Sandy Pond ranch.
Painted or Wood Risers
On Main Street the risers go either way: painted white, or oak stained to the tread color.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open stair in a newer Devens home gets return ends that round each tread at the side.
Landing Treads
At the top of the stairs the landing tread is set level with the second floor so nothing catches a toe.

Ayer families also hire us to sand old oak, replace a board that a leak ruined, and lay hardwood, vinyl plank or laminate in one room or the whole house.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is one new hardwood step in Ayer?
Sixty dollars per step, and that single figure holds the tread, the riser, the bull nose, a stain to match your floor and the installer.
Will you take the old carpet off the stairs?
Yes. Carpet and pad come off, tack strips and staples are pulled, and the removal figure is set in writing at the estimate.
Can my current treads just be refinished?
Solid oak treads can be hand sanded and refinished for $50 a step. Cracked or worn through treads are replaced instead.
Can I get oak risers to match the treads?
Yes. Oak risers in the tread stain give an all wood look, and white paint gives a crisp contrast.
Will the squeaks stop with new treads?
Almost always. Each loose step gets screwed down to the stringers before any tread is cut, and the new treads are glued and fastened so nothing shifts.
What happens on a staircase with an open side?
A mitered return goes on each exposed end so the bull nose wraps around the side and the tread is finished from every angle.
How quickly can a crew start, and how long does it take?
With unfinished treads the crew can start the day after the estimate and finish in about two days. Prefinished treads are special ordered and take a few weeks.
Is there a warranty on stair installs?
Yes. Stair labor is guaranteed for one year, and the installers are Brazil Floors employees who carry a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
