Treads, Risers and Nosing

We stock four tread woods: red oak, white oak, hickory and maple. Each is 1 inch thick and 11 1/2 inches deep, with nosing and a riser.

Tread Samples at Home

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

Quiet, Solid Steps

Loose steps get screwed to the stringers before anything else. Then each new tread is scribed to the walls, glued and fastened down.

One Year Stair Warranty

Licensed, insured and NWFA certified installers handle each staircase, and the labor is warrantied for a full year. Any problem is ours to fix.

Stair Installers in Cornwall

We rebuild stairs in Cornwall Hollow farmhouses, West Cornwall colonials, converted barns off Route 43 and cottages near Cream Hill Lake. Carpet comes up, loose steps get anchored and new risers with hardwood treads go in, often within a day. Stain is applied in the house.

Wood Stair Treads and Risers

A steep farmhouse back stair and a wide colonial front flight ask for different things, so we help you choose the wood, risers and trim.

Red Oak Treads

Red oak with a warm stain matches the older floors in the farmhouses along Route 7.

White Oak Treads

White oak shows a pale, even grain in a West Cornwall colonial full of morning light.

Hickory and Maple Treads

Hickory stands up to ski boots and firewood, and maple brightens a dark stair in a Cornwall Hollow farmhouse.

Painted or Wood Risers

In West Cornwall, owners choose white painted risers or oak risers in the tread stain.

Open Stairs and Return Ends

An open stair in a lake house by Cream Hill Lake gets return ends that round each tread at the side.

Landing Treads

In a Route 4 colonial, the landing tread sits flush with the second floor at the top step.

How much is a new hardwood step in Cornwall?

Each step is $60, with the hardwood tread, riser, nosing, a stain to match your floor and labor all in that price.

Can you remove the old carpet from the stairs?

Yes. We pull the carpet and pad, then the tack strips and staples, and set the removal price on site.

Can my old farmhouse treads just be refinished?

If they are sound, hand sanding and refinishing cost $50 per step. Cracked, cupped or thin treads get replaced.

Can the risers be oak too?

Yes. Oak risers in the tread stain give an all wood look, while white paint gives a crisp contrast.

Will new treads stop the squeaks?

On most stairs, yes. Loose steps are screwed down first, and each new tread is fitted, glued and fastened to stay quiet.

What about a stair that is open on one side?

We add a return to each exposed end, so the rounded nose wraps the side and every tread looks finished.

How fast can you start and finish?

Prefinished treads are ordered and take a few weeks, but unfinished jobs often start the next day and wrap up in two.

Is the stair work warrantied?

Yes. The stair labor carries a one year warranty from a licensed, insured, NWFA certified crew.
