Treads, Risers and Nosing
Treads, risers and nosing should work together at every step. We review their condition, dimensions and finish to define which components need refinishing or replacement.

Compare tread samples with nearby flooring in your own lighting. Wood species, grain and finish affect the result, so we discuss those differences before you choose.
Movement and squeaks need investigation before new finishes or treads are added. We assess accessible connections and discuss repairs that the staircase condition allows.
Our workmanship coverage lasts one year under its written terms. The estimate identifies included components, finishing work and any exclusions.



Possibly, if the treads are suitable and in sound condition. Inspect wear, movement and previous work before deciding on sanding.
Only if listed. Ask for treads, risers, nosing, trim, removal and finishing to be identified so the scope is clear.
Samples help coordinate the appearance, but species, age and grain can prevent an exact match. Approve a sample before the full flight is stained.
That depends on the work stage and coating instructions. Discuss access in advance, especially when the staircase is the only route upstairs.
The exposed structure and surface are inspected. Tack-strip damage, unsuitable wood or movement may change the work required.
Not necessarily. The cause of movement should be assessed before adding a new surface; further repair may be needed.
Only with appropriate components and fitting instructions. Stair applications differ from a floating floor in a room.
Step count is only part of it. Dimensions, materials, risers, exposed ends, landings, preparation and finishing affect the written estimate.
