Treads, Risers and Nosing
We cut each tread from solid red or white oak, ease the front nose round and size it to your particular stringers instead of grabbing stock lengths.

We carry sample treads to the estimate. Stand red oak and white oak next to your entry floor, choose one, and our stain gets tuned toward it.
Any wobbling step is locked down before new wood arrives. Treads are trimmed snug to the skirt, glued, then fastened, silencing that groan on step four.
Labor on our staircases is covered for twelve months by NWFA certified, licensed and insured installers. A tread that loosens means a return visit from us.



Our crew installs each new oak tread for $60 a step. Treads already made of solid wood can instead get a sanding and refinish at $50 apiece.
Yes. Carpet, padding, tack strip and staples get carted off, and we inspect what's below. Sometimes the old oak deserves refinishing, sometimes new treads.
Most flights take a day, sometimes two when there's stain or a long run of steps. We leave you a safe way to get upstairs at the end of each day.
Samples get stained on site and held against the hallway oak, upstairs and down, before we commit to doing all the steps in that color.
Usually. Creaks happen when a tread rides on a loose nail or rubs a stringer. We screw and glue everything tight before any new oak goes on.
Yes. Open sides get mitered return noses, so no raw edge shows, and every step is measured individually since older stairs are rarely even.
New treads are paid the morning our crew gets started. Refinishing treads gets billed in two equal pieces, one at kickoff and one once your treads have dried.
Stair labor gets a one year guarantee from us, and the guys doing it hold NWFA certification, a license and full insurance. A tread that moves or squeaks gets a return visit.
