Our estimator keeps tread samples in the truck for every visit. Laid on your floor where the stairs land, the right wood picks itself.
First job on any Cromwell stair is screwing the loose steps to the stringers. After that, every tread is cut to the exact wall line, bedded in adhesive and fastened tight.
Each Cromwell staircase is built by a licensed, insured, NWFA certified crew with a one year warranty on the labor. If a tread shifts, we come back.



Each step is $60, and that includes the hardwood tread, riser, nosing, a stain to match your floor and the labor.
Yes. The carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all come off, and the removal cost is agreed during the visit.

Unfinished treads let us begin the next day and wrap up within two. Prefinished treads are ordered and add a few weeks.
Yes. Stair labor is covered for one year, and the crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
