/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Essex
We rebuild stairs in North Main Street Federals, Comstock Avenue cottages, Centerbrook farmhouses and the newer homes on Kelsey Hill Road. The old carpet is stripped, wobbly treads are screwed tight and new risers and hardwood treads are set, usually within a day. All the stain is applied in the house.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A steep, narrow factory cottage stair in Ivoryton and a wide Federal flight on North Main Street need different treads, risers and trim, so we help you choose.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak in a warm stain blends with the original floors in the cottages of Ivoryton.
White Oak Treads
White oak keeps a clean, light grain in a Pratt Street colonial that catches morning sun.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory handles the boot traffic of a Comstock Avenue cottage stair, and maple brightens a dark Bokum Road hall.
Painted or Wood Risers
Along North Main Street, owners choose white painted risers or oak risers stained to match.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open stair in a newer Ingham Hill Road home gets return ends that wrap the nose around the side.
Landing Treads
In the river houses near the harbor, the landing tread sits flush with the second floor.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does one new hardwood step cost in Essex?
Every step is $60, and that covers the hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, stain matched to your floor and the labor. The price is the same on each step of the flight.
Will you remove the carpet from my stairs?
Yes, the carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all come off with us. The removal cost is agreed on during the estimate.
Could my current Essex oak treads just be refinished?
If they are solid, hand sanding and refinishing runs $50 per step. Treads that are cracked or worn thin get replaced with new oak.
Can I have oak risers instead of painted?
Yes, oak risers stained like the treads give an all wood look. White painted risers give a crisper contrast.
Will new treads stop the squeaks?
On most Essex stairs, yes. Loose steps are screwed down first and every new tread is glued and fastened so it stays quiet.
How is a stair with an open side finished?
A return goes on each exposed end so the rounded nose wraps around the side. Seen from the hallway, every tread then reads as complete.
How soon can the stair crew reach Essex, and how many days does it take?
Unfinished treads usually start the day after the estimate and finish in two days. Factory finished treads are ordered to spec and take several weeks to arrive.
Is there a warranty on the stairs?
Yes, one year on labor, and the installers are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
