Tread samples come in the estimator's truck. Hold them up to your floor at the foot of the stairs and the right wood is easy to see.
Shaky steps are screwed tight before anything else happens. Then our installer scribes each new tread in, glues it and fastens it down.
Licensed, insured and NWFA certified crews handle each Deep River staircase, and the labor is warrantied for one full year.



Each step is $60, the hardwood tread, riser, bullnose, a stain to match your floor and labor all included.
Yes, carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all come up. The removal cost is settled at the free estimate.
Solid oak treads get sanded and refinished for $50 per step instead of replaced. Split or cupped treads are better replaced.
Yes, oak risers are stained with the treads, or painted white if that suits your Deep River house.
We screw the stringers and old framing tight before installing, and that usually silences the stair for good.
Return ends wrap the tread around the open edge, so no raw cut shows on the side.
Most Deep River staircases take one or two days, and we can usually begin within a week of the visit.
Brazil Floors backs the stair labor for one year, and the hardwood keeps its manufacturer warranty.
