/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Berlin
Our stair crew works in Berlin farmhouses, colonials along Route 62, split levels in the Nashua Valley and houses close to Barnes Hall. The carpet comes off, moving steps get fastened, and fresh risers with hardwood treads are usually in place by the end of the day. The stain goes on right there in your hall.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A narrow farmhouse stair and a broad colonial flight call for different choices, so we walk you through tread species, riser style and trim.
Red Oak Treads
Farmhouses around Meeting House Common usually have older floors that pair well with red oak treads under a warm stain.
White Oak Treads
In a Berlin colonial with strong morning light, white oak treads show a pale, even grain.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory shrugs off gravel and mud, and maple lightens a dark stair in a Nashua Valley split level.
Painted or Wood Risers
Berlin risers go one of two ways: painted white to set off the oak, or stained oak so the whole flight reads as a single wood.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
For an open stair in a house above the Assabet Valley, we wrap each tread end with a return so the side is rounded too.
Landing Treads
Off Route 62, the top tread is cut as a landing piece so it meets the second floor without a lip.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is a new hardwood step in Berlin?
A step in Berlin is $60. That one price buys the hardwood tread, the riser behind it, the rounded front edge, a stain matched to your floor and the crew that installs it.
Can you pull the carpet off our farmhouse stairs?
Yes. We strip the carpet, pull the pad, pry the tack strips and draw every staple before the first tread goes on. What that removal costs is agreed during the estimate.
Could our current treads just be refinished?
Sound oak gets hand sanding plus a new finish, $50 per step. A tread that has split, or worn thin along the nose, comes out and is replaced with new oak.
Can I have oak risers instead of painted ones?
Yes. Stained oak risers that match the treads turn the whole run into one continuous wood tone, and painted white risers make each step read sharply against the oak. Both cost the same per step in Berlin.
Will new treads stop the squeaks?
On most Berlin stairs, yes. Any step that moves is screwed tight to the stringers before we start, and every new tread is glued as well as fastened so nothing rubs or creaks later.
How do you finish an open sided stair?
A return piece is mitered onto each exposed end, carrying the bullnose around the side so the tread reads as one finished piece from the hallway.
When can the Berlin crew start, and how many days does it take?
Prefinished treads are a special order and can take weeks to reach Natick. Unfinished oak is in stock, so those jobs typically begin the next day and finish on the second.
Is there a warranty on stairs?
Yes. If a step we built loosens or creaks within twelve months, we return to Berlin and correct it at no charge. The crew carries a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
