Tread samples ride in the estimator's truck to Bellingham. Set a few on the floor by the first step and the species that belongs there is plain to see.
Nothing new goes on until the old steps stop moving. Screws lock the stringers, then each tread is scribed to the Bellingham walls, bedded in glue and fastened.
Every Bellingham staircase is built by Brazil Floors employees holding NWFA certification, a license and insurance, with twelve months of labor warranty behind the work. Anything that slips gets corrected.



Sixty dollars, and at that price a Bellingham step includes its hardwood tread, riser, rounded nose, stain matched to the floor and the installation.
Yes. Carpet, pad, tack strips and staples leave with us, and the removal cost is agreed on your Bellingham stairs before anything is pulled up.

A return is added to each exposed tread end, so the rounded nose continues around the side and the step looks finished from the room.
With unfinished treads a Bellingham job can start the next day and be done in about two. Prefinished treads come from the mill on special order and take several weeks.
Yes. Labor is covered for twelve months, and every crew member is an NWFA certified Brazil Floors employee carrying a license and insurance.
