Treads, Risers and Nosing

Red oak, white oak, hickory and maple are the tread choices in Columbia. Every one comes 1 inch thick and 11 1/2 inches deep, bull nosed, with its own riser.

Tread Samples at Home

Our estimator carries tread samples to Columbia in the truck. Lay one at the bottom of your stairs beside the floor and the right wood is plain to see.

Quiet, Solid Steps

Before a new tread goes on, the crew screws each loose step to the stringers. The tread is then scribed to the skirt board, set in adhesive and fastened down for good.

One Year Stair Warranty

A licensed, insured and NWFA certified crew builds every Columbia staircase, and the labor is warrantied for one full year.

/ OUR SERVICES

Stair Installers in Columbia

We rebuild stairs in Columbia colonials on the Green, cottages on Columbia Lake, capes in North Society and ranches off Route 66. The old carpet is stripped, shaky steps are screwed tight and new risers and hardwood treads are fitted, often start to finish in one day. Stain is applied in the house.

Wood Stair Treads and Risers

A tight lake cottage 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 colonials on the Columbia Green.

White Oak Treads

White oak gives a clean, pale grain to a North Society home with lots of east light.

Hickory and Maple Treads

Hickory stands up to sand from Columbia Lake, and maple brightens a dark ranch stair off Route 6.

Painted or Wood Risers

Homeowners on 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 Columbia home gets return ends that round each tread at the edge.

Landing Treads

On Columbia Lake, the landing tread sits flush with the second floor at the top step.

How much is one new hardwood step in Columbia?

Every step costs $60, and that pays for the hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, matched stain and labor. Red oak, white oak, hickory or maple, the price is the same.

Will you strip the old carpet off my colonial stairs?

Yes. Carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all come off, and we settle the removal cost at the free estimate.

Can my existing treads just be refinished?

Sound oak treads can be hand sanded and refinished for $50 apiece. Split or hollowed treads are smarter to replace at $60.

Can the risers be oak too?

Yes. Oak risers stained like the treads read as one piece of furniture, while painted white risers set off the wood.

Will the squeaks stop?

Almost always. We screw loose steps to the framing first, then glue and fasten each tread so the stair goes quiet.

How do you finish a stair with an open side?

A return is added at every exposed end, carrying the rounded nose around the corner. From the room, the tread looks finished on every edge.

When could the crew start on my Columbia stairs, and how long will it take?

Unfinished treads let us start the day after the estimate, and most Columbia staircases take one or two days. Prefinished treads are special ordered and push the start back a few weeks.

Is the stair work warrantied?

Yes, our labor carries a one-year warranty. The crew building your stairs is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
