Treads, Risers and Nosing
We cut replacement treads from red or white oak stock, each with a rounded bullnose, then stain them on the staircase so the climb from the mudroom matches upstairs.

Our estimator brings a couple of sample treads. Prop them on your bottom step, compare red against white oak in the light from the front door, and pick a stain from there.
A step that rocks gets glued, then screwed tight to the stringer. Next, each tread is scribed to walls that settled long ago, and that creak by step three disappears.
Every staircase we touch carries a twelve month guarantee from our NWFA certified, licensed, insured installers, who drive back up Route 8 if a tread ever loosens.



A Clarksburg staircase gets new oak treads, each $60 per step, with nosing, stain and installation included. When the treads you already have are solid, a refinish costs $50 per step.
Yes. Carpet, padding, tack strips and every staple get pulled. That removal price is settled at your free estimate, and pulling up flooring elsewhere usually costs near $1.00/Sq Ft.
Plan on a couple of days, counting time for stain and finish to dry. Your crew lead tells you exactly when the stairs open again, and we work around any back stair your home has.
Yes. We stain on site and test a sample against the landing before doing the rest, so the climb and the upstairs hall end up one shade.
Usually. Each loose step is glued and fastened to its stringer before new oak goes on, and in old farmhouses that typically ends the squeaks for good.
When the oak is sound and just scuffed, refinishing for $50 a step usually wins. Treads that are cracked, split or patched too many times are worth replacing at $60 per step.
For new treads, labor is settled as our van pulls in and material once it is carried inside. Refinishing old treads is paid in two parts: one as sanding begins, one once they are sealed.
Yes. The licensed, insured crew who builds your staircase backs that work for twelve months, and oak we supply carries its own manufacturer warranty too.
