The estimator brings tread samples into your Danbury home. Set them against the floor at the foot of the stairs and the right species picks itself.
Wobbly steps are screwed down to the stringers before any new tread arrives. Then each tread is scribed to the stringers, glued and fastened so it never shifts.
Licensed, insured and NWFA certified crews rebuild every staircase, with one year of labor warranty behind the work.



$60 per step, covering the tread, riser, nosing, stain to match your floor and the labor.
Yes, we strip the carpet along with the pad, tack strips and every staple. The removal cost is set at the free estimate.
If the oak is solid, we sand and refinish them at $50 per step. Split or cupped treads are better replaced.
Yes, oak risers are stained with the treads, or we paint them white if that suits your Danbury home better.

Return ends wrap the tread around the open edge, so there is no raw cut showing on the side.
Most Danbury staircases are done in one or two days, and we can usually start within a week of the estimate.
One year on labor from Brazil Floors, and the hardwood carries its manufacturer warranty.
