Treads, Risers and Nosing
Fresh treads arrive as red or white oak with a rounded front edge, and we stain them right there on the steps, so stairs and hallway end up speaking the same language.

We bring tread samples on the estimate visit, and you can rest red and white oak beside the hallway floor, right where the bottom step lands, while choosing a stain.
Wobbly steps get anchored before anything new goes on. Every tread is then scribed tight against the plaster, glued and fastened, which is how creaks stop for good.
Our crew, NWFA certified with license and insurance in hand, guarantees staircase labor for a year, and if a tread ever shifts, we are back to tighten it.



It is $60 for every step, which covers putting in a new hardwood tread and staining it to sit with your floors. Refinishing solid treads already in place is $50 per step.
Yes. At the estimate we lift a corner on a step or two. If solid oak is hiding there, refinishing at $50 per step may be all you need.
For most staircases, figure a day, maybe two. We keep a safe way up when we can and tell you exactly when stain and finish are ready for feet.
We go after the cause first, screwing loose steps into the framing. The new treads are then glued and fastened down, and that is what keeps them quiet.
Yes. We stain the treads on site and compare the color against the hallway oak at the bottom, so stairs and hall look like one floor.
Painted white, risers give a classic look, or they can be oak stained to match the treads. We go over both options with samples at the estimate.
New tread installs get paid when our installers pull up, any material on delivery. If the treads are only sanded and refinished, it is half on the opening day and half once it is done.
Yes, twelve months on the labor, all of it handled by our own NWFA certified people. If a tread loosens during that stretch, we come back and fasten it free.
