Tread samples ride along in the estimator's truck to Colchester. Set them against your floor at the foot of the stairs and the right species shows itself.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Loose steps are screwed down to the stringers before anything new goes on. Each tread is then scribed to the wall, glued and fastened tight.

/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Colchester
We rebuild stairs in Colchester farmhouses near the green, capes in North Westchester, colonials along Route 85 and ranches by Day Pond. Carpet is stripped, wobbly steps are screwed tight and new risers with hardwood treads are fitted, usually in a single day. Stain is applied in the house.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A narrow farmhouse stair and a wide colonial flight need different treads, risers and trim, and we walk you through each choice.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak with a warm stain matches the original floors in farmhouses near Old Bacon Academy.
White Oak Treads
White oak gives a clean, pale grain to a Colchester colonial with lots of east light.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory stands up to gravel from a Westchester driveway, and maple brightens a dark ranch stair.
Painted or Wood Risers
Homeowners near the green choose white painted risers or oak risers in the tread stain.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open-sided stair in a newer Colchester home gets return ends that round each tread at the edge.
Landing Treads
By Day Pond, the landing tread sits flush with the second floor at the top step.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is one new hardwood step in Colchester?
Each step is $60, covering the hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, matching stain and labor. The number does not change by species.
Will you strip the old carpet off my farmhouse stairs?
Yes. We remove carpet, pad, tack strips and staples, and the removal cost is set at the free estimate.
Can my existing treads just be refinished?
If the oak is solid, hand sanding and refinishing costs $50 a step. Cracked or badly worn treads are better replaced at $60.
Can the risers be oak too?
Yes. Oak risers in your tread stain give an all-wood look, while white painted risers give crisp contrast.
Will the squeaks stop?
Almost always. Loose steps are screwed to the framing first, and each new tread is glued and fastened so nothing moves.
How do you finish a stair with an open side?
We add a return to each exposed end so the rounded nose wraps the side. The tread reads as one finished piece.
When could the crew start on my Colchester stairs, and how long will it take?
Unfinished tread jobs often begin the day after the estimate and most Colchester stairs take a day or two. Prefinished treads have to be ordered in and add a few weeks to the wait.
Is the stair work warrantied?
Yes, one year on labor. The stair crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and on our payroll.
