Stair Installation Cost
A new stair step in Ellington costs $60 and that is the whole price. The hardwood tread, the riser, the bull nose, stain matched to your hall floor and the labor of our own crew are all inside it.
New Hardwood Stairs
For $60 a step you get a 1 inch solid hardwood tread, a new riser beneath it, a bull nose on the leading edge, stain in the color you choose and our installers doing the work.
$60

What’s Included:
Tread, Riser and Nosing
Stained to Match on Site
Glued and Fastened Down
Laminate Stairs
Laminate stairs run $50 a step in labor. Each tread edge takes a nosing in the identical plank color, so the staircase reads as part of the floor rather than an add on.

Tread Samples at Home
The estimator arrives in Ellington with tread blocks in all four woods. Lay one on the hall floor at the base of the stairs and the match is obvious in a minute.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Nothing new goes on until the old stringers and framing are screwed tight. After that, each tread is scribed to its spot, glued and fastened so it cannot shift or squeak.

One Year Stair Warranty
The crew rebuilding your stairs is licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and Brazil Floors backs the labor for a full year. A loose tread or a new squeak is fixed on us.
/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Ellington
We rebuild staircases in Ellington farmhouses near the center, cottages on Crystal Lake, colonials at Crystal Ridge and ranches around Five Corners. The carpet is stripped, every loose step is screwed down and new risers with hardwood treads go in, most often in a single day. The treads are stained to the hall floor before we pack up.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A tight cottage stair on Crystal Lake and a wide two story flight in a Crystal Ridge colonial want different woods, risers and trim, and we walk you through the choice.
Red Oak Treads
Warm stained red oak blends with the old floors in the farmhouses around Ellington Center.
White Oak Treads
White oak gives a clean, pale grain to a Crystal Ridge colonial with a bright front hall.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory stands up to lake sand, and maple lightens a dim stairwell in a ranch off Somers Road.
Painted or Wood Risers
Homeowners on Maple Street choose between white painted risers and oak risers in the tread stain.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open sided stair in a Windermere home gets return ends that wrap the exposed side of each tread.
Landing Treads
In a colonial near Five Corners the landing tread finishes flush with the upstairs floor.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does one new hardwood step cost in Ellington?
A step is $60 and that number includes the hardwood tread, the riser, the bull nose, stain matched to your floor and the labor. A straight run has no hidden extras.
Do you pull the carpet off the stairs first?
Yes, the carpet comes off along with the pad, tack strips and staples before any tread is set. That removal is priced at the free estimate.
Could my existing treads be sanded instead of replaced?
Solid wood treads without cracks or chew marks can be sanded and refinished for $50 a step. Soft, split or badly worn treads are replaced.
Can the risers be oak like the treads?
Yes, stained oak risers are an option alongside white painted ones. Both looks come to the estimate in photos.
Will new treads end the squeaking?
The stringers and framing are screwed down before the treads go on, so the squeaks leave with the carpet. Any that return are fixed under warranty.
My stair is open on one side. How does the edge get finished?
The exposed side of each tread gets a return end, a wrapped edge that finishes it cleanly. Return ends are priced alongside the standard treads.
How soon can you start and how long are the stairs closed?
Most Ellington stairs are booked within a week and rebuilt in one day. Give the finish a night before heavy use.
Is the stair work guaranteed?
Brazil Floors backs the labor for one year. The wood itself carries the manufacturer warranty.
