Treads, Risers and Nosing

The truck carries treads in red oak, white oak, hickory and maple, all 1 inch thick by 11 1/2 inches deep, bull nosed, each with a matching riser.

Tread Samples at Home

Tread samples come into your East Hartford home with the estimator, and a minute of holding them against the hall floor settles the wood choice.

Quiet, Solid Steps

In a three family stairwell every loose step gets screwed tight first, and only then does each new tread get scribed to the stringers, glued and nailed.

One Year Stair Warranty

A licensed, insured and NWFA certified crew builds every staircase, the labor is warrantied for a full year, and a loose tread brings us back at no charge.

Stair Installers in East Hartford

We rebuild stairs in Burnside two families, Mayberry Village capes, Hockanum colonials and the older homes along Main Street. The carpet is stripped, wobbly steps are anchored and new treads and risers go in, stained to the floor. Our Milford crew does all of it.

/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE

Wood Stair Treads and Risers

A narrow three family stairwell and a broad Hockanum colonial flight need different treads, risers and trim, so we walk you through each one.

Red Oak Treads

Red oak in a warm stain suits the older floors of prewar houses along Main Street.

White Oak Treads

White oak gives a Hockanum colonial with morning sun a clean, pale grain.

Hickory and Maple Treads

Hickory stands up to tenants on a three family stairwell, and maple brightens a dark Mayberry Village stair.

Painted or Wood Risers

In Burnside, owners pick either white painted risers or oak risers stained to the treads.

Open Stairs and Return Ends

A remodeled condo near Goodwin University with an open sided stair gets return ends on every tread.

Landing Treads

Hockanum capes get a landing tread set flush with the second floor.

How much is one new hardwood step in East Hartford?

Each step is $60, covering the hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, stain matched to the floor and labor. A laminate step is $50 for labor.

Can you redo the common stairs in a three family?

Yes, we work one flight at a time so tenants keep access, usually finishing each flight in a day. Hickory is a good pick for that much traffic.

Can you take the old carpet off the stairs?

Yes, carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all come off in one go. Once we see the wood underneath at the free estimate, the removal cost goes in writing.

Can the existing treads be refinished rather than replaced?

Sound oak treads can be refinished for $50 per step, hand sanded and stained to the floor. A tread that is cracked or worn through gets replaced at $60.

Can I get oak risers to match the treads?

Yes, oak risers stained like the treads are popular in Hockanum colonials. The alternative most owners pick is white painted risers.

Will new treads stop the squeaks?

The stringers and old treads are screwed tight before the new wood is glued and nailed, which removes the movement causing the noise.

How fast can you start on a stairwell, and how long is it out of use?

Treads come from Milford the next day, and a usual flight of 13 steps takes one or two days with the finish curing overnight.

Is there a warranty on the stair work?

The labor is warrantied one year by Brazil Floors and the hardwood by its manufacturer. Everyone on the stair crew holds a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
