/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Canterbury
We rebuild stairs in farmhouses near the Green, capes on Library Road, ranches off Route 169 and colonials around Canterbury Center. Carpet comes up, loose steps are anchored, and new risers and hardwood treads go in, often inside a couple of days. All staining is done indoors.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A narrow farmhouse flight and a wide center hall stair ask different things, so we help you decide on wood, risers and trim.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak with warm stain suits the older floors of homes around Canterbury Green.
White Oak Treads
White oak has a clean, light grain that brightens a stair with lots of window light.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory handles heavy traffic well, while maple lightens a dim stair in a ranch.
Painted or Wood Risers
Owners near the Green choose painted white risers or oak risers stained to match.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open staircase gets return ends, which wrap each tread around the exposed side.
Landing Treads
On Westminster Road homes, the top tread is set flush with the upstairs floor.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is one new hardwood step in Canterbury?
It is $60 per step, covering the tread, riser, bullnose, matching stain and labor.
Will you pull the carpet off my stairs?
Yes. Carpet, pad, tack strips and staples are all pulled, and the removal is priced at the house.
Can my existing treads be refinished instead?
Where the oak is in good shape, hand sanding and refinishing costs $50 per step. Cracked or thin treads get replaced.
Can the risers be oak instead of painted?
Yes. Oak risers stained like the treads give a solid wood look, and white paint gives contrast.
Will new treads end the squeaks?
On most stairs they do. The crew secures loose steps first and then fits, glues and fastens every new tread.
How do you finish an open side?
We add a return to the exposed end so the rounded nose wraps around and the tread looks complete.
When can you start and how many days will it run?
Unfinished treads typically mean a next day start and about two days on site. Prefinished treads ordered in take longer.
Do stairs come with a warranty?
They do, one year on labor. Crews hold a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
