Treads, Risers and Nosing
Tread stock comes in red or white oak, plus hickory and hard maple. Old harbor houses rarely have square stairwells, so each piece is scribed to fit its own opening.

/ FAIRHAVEN STAIRCASE CARPENTRY
Stair Installation Cost
A new hardwood tread on a Fairhaven staircase costs $60, cut and set by Brazil Floors carpenters. The twisty back stair of an 1800s home on Washington Street and a plain straight run in an Oxford ranch both work out to that per step figure.
New Hardwood Stairs
We charge $60 to fit each new hardwood step. Count your stairs, multiply, and you know the price before a single cut is made.

Tread Samples at Home
Sample treads come in a box when we visit. Prop a couple on the lowest stair by the hallway and pick a stain while looking at the actual light in your stairwell.

Quiet, Solid Steps
A step that rocks is screwed tight to the stringer first. Every tread then sits in a bead of construction adhesive and gets nailed, which ends the squeaks.

One Year Stair Warranty
Our labor on each staircase is backed for twelve months. NWFA certified, licensed, insured carpenters of our own will come back should any tread start to move.
/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Tread Installers for Fairhaven
Federal style homes near the Unitarian Memorial Church often have narrow, steep stairs, and newer houses on Sconticut Neck have wide, open ones. We handle both. Carpet and staples come off, loose steps are secured, new treads are fitted and tinted to blend with the halls around them, and many projects start the morning after.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Each staircase here is its own puzzle. Together we settle the wood, whether risers get paint, and the rounded nose profile so the steps suit the floors you have now.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak takes tint evenly and suits the strip floors found in older Fairhaven homes.
White Oak Treads
White oak carries tight, cool toned figure that feels crisp in a bright entry near Fort Phoenix.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory's bold figure hides scuffs from beach gear, and maple stays light and modern.
Painted or Wood Risers
Risers brushed in white paint give a crisp contrast, or stained risers make a warm, all wood stair.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
Along an open stair edge, a mitered return end conceals the sawn end of every tread.
Landing Treads
The landing tread caps the staircase and sits flush with the upstairs floor so nothing catches a toe.

Fairhaven Floors to Go With New Stairs
Since the staircase connects every level, we can also refinish the hall up top, install oak or LVP downstairs, put laminate in the basement and restain rooms so the colors line up.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is the cost per tread?
Fitting a new oak or maple step runs $60 apiece. When the treads underneath are solid enough to keep, we sand, tint and reseal them at $50 each, and the estimate counts every stair in the house.
Can you fit treads on a steep, narrow antique stair?
Yes. Plenty of captains' era homes by the harbor have tight, winding stairs, so we trace a template of every step and cut the oak to that outline rather than forcing a stock size.
Does the carpet need to come off first?
Yes, and our crew handles it. Carpet, pad, tack strips and all those staples are pulled so new oak rests directly on the framing, and we haul all of that old material away in our van.
How long are the stairs closed?
A typical job runs two or three days, since stain and finish each need hours to dry. Ahead of the first day, you learn exactly when the family can walk up and down again, and we can leave a path open when possible.
Can the stain match my floors?
Yes. We brush test patches on a spare tread right next to your upstairs hardwood and keep adjusting the mix until the steps and the hall look like they were always together.
Will the stairs stop squeaking?
Almost always. Each loose step is screwed hard against its framing before the new oak goes on, and adhesive under every tread keeps wood from rubbing, which is what causes most creaks.
Do you want payment before the stairs are started?
Labor is due on the morning our carpenters pull in, and the treads are settled once the delivery truck unloads them. No deposit is collected beforehand, and your written estimate spells out every number.
Is the stair work guaranteed?
Yes. If any tread we set starts to loosen or creak before a year has passed, our licensed, insured carpenters return to put it right without billing you, and the tread maker backs the wood itself with its own warranty.
