Treads, Risers and Nosing
You choose the species: maple, hickory, red oak or white oak. Treads come a full inch thick and 11.5 inches from nose to riser, and every step gets its own new riser.

/ Blandford Stair Tread Installers
Stair Installation Cost
A new stair tread in Blandford is $60 per step, flat. That figure buys the hardwood tread, a fresh riser under it, the bullnose edge, a stain picked to suit your hall and our carpenters' time, and it won't creep upward once work begins.
New Hardwood Stairs
One new step costs $60, start to finish. In that price you get an inch thick oak tread, its riser, the bullnose, stain and the hours our carpenters spend on it.

Tread Samples at Home
Our estimator pulls tread samples out of the truck, letting you compare a few woods right beside the bottom step and pick a stain in your own hallway light.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Rocking steps are tied back into the stringers first. After that, every tread is fitted to the side walls and set in glue with fasteners, ending the squeak on step 3.

One Year Stair Warranty
Stairs we build come with a year of labor protection from NWFA certified carpenters. If a tread works loose in that time, someone drives back up to fix it.
/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Carpenters Working in Blandford
We rebuild staircases in farmhouses near the White Church, capes around the town center and camps toward the reservoirs. Old carpet is torn off, wobbly steps are screwed solid, then every new hardwood tread is sized, cut, glued and fastened, and stained so it flows into the upstairs hall.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Old hilltown stairs are rarely square or level. Together we'll weigh species, riser color and how the front edge is shaped until it fits your floors and the house.
Red Oak Treads
Stain goes on even and unblotchy over red oak, which pairs with the floors in many North Blandford farmhouses.
White Oak Treads
White oak shows fine, cool toned grain and suits a sunny front entry off North Street.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory's bold grain hides dents from boots and toys, while maple stays pale and smooth in homes along Glasgow Road.
Painted or Wood Risers
White painted risers give a farmhouse stair near the fairgrounds a classic look, though stained oak risers are an option too.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
For stairs with an open side, a mitered return turns the bullnose around the end in houses off Route 23.
Landing Treads
Up top, or at a platform halfway, our landing treads sit dead level with the hallway floor in homes off Pittsfield Road.
/ Floors, Repairs and Stain
Floors to Go with Your New Stairs
Once the stairs are finished, the landing up top can get sanded too, the den can get oak or LVP, a cellar playroom can get laminate, and that scuffed area near the woodstove can be patched.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does a new hardwood step cost?
A new step is $60 installed, covering tread, riser, bullnose, stain and labor. If a hutch or bookcase is in the way, we'll relocate the furniture for a flat $250.
Can old treads be refinished instead?
When the oak hiding under that carpet is in good shape, yes. We hand sand and refinish treads you already have for $50 a step, tinting the stain to suit your floors.
Does the old stair carpet come off first?
We will. Everything comes off, staples included, and then we can judge the wood beneath. Removal pricing gets confirmed during the free estimate visit.
When can we start using the stairs again?
Usually just a day, sometimes a second. We'll tell you at the estimate when it's fine to climb them and how long to wait before hauling laundry baskets up.
Will the treads match my floors?
Usually. We bring maple, hickory and both oaks to your house and mix stain right there so the stairs sit well beside your hallway.
Can you fix squeaky steps?
That's part of every job. We drive screws through loose steps into the framing before any new tread goes on, and glue plus fasteners keep the quiet for good.
How do payments work for stairs?
With new treads, labor is paid the day carpenters show up and materials on delivery. Refinishing existing steps is billed 50 percent on day one, 50 percent at completion.
Is there a warranty on stairs?
Yes. Should our carpentry give you trouble before next year's Blandford Fair rolls around, the repair is free, and the manufacturer handles material defects. Each carpenter is NWFA certified and works under our license and insurance.
