Stair Installation Cost
Every new stair tread we install in Bolton costs $60. For that one price you receive a solid hardwood tread, a matching new riser, a rounded nosing, whichever stain color you like and all carpentry labor, and nothing gets tacked on halfway up.
New Hardwood Stairs
Each brand new step is $60 complete. You get a solid hardwood tread an inch thick, a fresh riser beneath it, a rounded nose, your stain color and every hour of carpentry.

Tread Samples at Home
Tread samples ride in the estimator's truck, so you can hold different species against your bottom step and settle on a stain while standing in your own front hall at dusk.

Quiet, Solid Steps
First, any rocking step is screwed into the stringers. Our carpenter then sizes every new tread snug between the walls, glues and fastens it, and step four goes quiet.

One Year Stair Warranty
Our NWFA certified carpenters guarantee stair work for twelve months. Should any step loosen during that year, we send someone back to Bolton to tighten it.
/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Builders Serving Bolton Homes
Our crew redoes staircases in Federal era farmhouses by the Pan Burying Ground, colonials along Route 117 and newer homes on the slopes of Wattaquadock Hill. Carpet comes off, shaky steps are screwed tight, then each new tread is measured, cut, glued, fastened and stained to match upstairs.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Older New England staircases are seldom perfectly square. We'll go over which wood, what color risers and how round each nosing is, so the steps suit your floors and house.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak soaks up stain uniformly and blends with the floors in many Bolton Center houses.
White Oak Treads
White oak carries a tighter, cooler figure, and it looks crisp in sunny front halls near Vaughn Hill.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory's lively grain disguises dings from boots, while maple offers a pale, uniform surface near Wattaquadock Hill.
Painted or Wood Risers
Painted white risers lend a farmhouse staircase by the Whitcomb Inn a timeless feel, and stained risers work too.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
When a staircase has no wall on one side, we miter the nosing so it wraps around the open end, as in homes off Main Street.
Landing Treads
At the top or a midway platform, our landing treads finish flush with the upstairs floor in houses close to Florence Sawyer School.
/ Floors, Repairs and Stain
Hall and Room Floors That Match
With the staircase done, we can sand the upstairs hall, nail oak in the den, install LVP or laminate where the kids play downstairs, or patch the scratched spot by the back slider.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat's the cost per new hardwood step?
Each step costs $60 installed. That pays for the tread, a riser, the nosing, stain and our carpenter's time. If a bookcase or dresser blocks the way, we move it for a flat $250.
Can my existing treads be refinished?
If the oak under your runner is solid, absolutely. We hand sand and refinish your original treads for $50 a step and tint the stain to blend with nearby floors.
Do you charge to take off stair carpet?
Removal is confirmed during your estimate once we see how the runner, pad and staples were installed. Our crew yanks out every staple and tack strip before new treads go on.
How long is a stair project in Bolton?
Plan on one working day for most straight runs of steps, two if there's stain or a landing. We'll tell you exactly when the stairs are usable again.
Will we still be able to go upstairs?
Usually yes, with care. A safe route stays open throughout, and on stain days we'll tell you which steps to skip until the finish dries.
Which wood is best for busy stairs?
Hickory and white oak hold up best to heavy traffic and pets. Red oak is the classic choice, and maple brings a bright, quiet look to modern homes.
When do we pay for new stairs?
Labor is collected when the carpenters arrive to start, and lumber gets paid for once it's dropped off. There's no large deposit held for weeks.
Is stair work guaranteed?
Yes. Our carpenters are NWFA certified, carry state licenses and full insurance, and stand behind stair labor for twelve months. A step that loosens gets fixed on a return visit.
