Treads, Risers and Nosing
Steps can be cut from hickory, hard maple, or either red or white oak. Plaster walls in older homes are rarely straight, so we trace and trim each piece to its own opening.

Tread Samples at Home
A box of sample treads comes to the estimate. Rest a couple near the bottom of your staircase and compare tints in the daylight that actually reaches the stairwell.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Any wobbly step gets screwed tight to its stringer first. Each tread is then bedded in construction adhesive and nailed, which stops the squeaking for good.

/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Tread Carpenters for Fall River
Victorians near Lafayette Park often have tall, narrow stairs with a turn at the top, while newer homes near Cook Pond have open, wide ones. We work on both. Old carpet is pulled, shaky steps are anchored, fresh treads are scribed and tinted to suit the floors around them, and many jobs start soon after you call.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
No two staircases here are quite alike. Together we pick the species, a riser color and the curve of each front edge, so the steps sit naturally beside your floors.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak accepts tint without blotching and matches the strip floors common in older city homes.
White Oak Treads
White oak brings a cool, close figure that looks clean in an entry near Kennedy Park.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory has busy figure that hides scuffs from school shoes, and maple keeps a stair bright and modern.
Painted or Wood Risers
Risers brushed white make the oak pop, or stained risers turn the whole flight into warm, matching wood.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
Where one side is open, a mitered return end hides the exposed end grain of every tread.
Landing Treads
The landing tread is the last piece at the top, set dead level with the hallway so slippers glide across.

Fall River Floors That Pair With New Stairs
Stairs link every level, so our crews can refinish the upper hallway as well, put oak or vinyl plank on the main floor, lay laminate down cellar and restain rooms so every color agrees.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does each stair tread cost?
Fitting a new hardwood step costs $60. When solid oak worth saving hides under the runner, we sand, tint and seal those steps for $50 each instead, and the estimate counts every stair.
Can you rebuild a steep Victorian staircase?
Yes. Many older homes near the parks have tall, narrow flights with a winder at the top, and we make a template for each odd shaped step so the new oak fits tight against the old plaster.
Do you remove the stair carpet?
Yes. Our crew strips away carpet, cushion, tack strips and every staple, so new treads sit right on the framing. All the debris goes out in our van.
Which day can we walk on the new steps?
Most staircases take two or three days, because stain and finish each need drying time. Before day one you learn when the family can use them again, and we keep a path open whenever possible.
Can the tread color match my floors?
Yes. We brush test tints on a spare tread beside your upstairs hardwood and keep tweaking the blend until the steps and the landing read as one floor.
Will my squeaky stairs be fixed?
In nearly every case. Each loose step is screwed down firmly before any oak is laid over it, and adhesive under each tread keeps the wood from rubbing and creaking.
Do you collect a deposit for stair jobs?
No deposit is taken. Labor is due when our carpenters arrive the first morning, and the treads once they are delivered, with every figure on the written estimate.
Do you stand behind the stair work?
Yes. If a tread we installed loosens or starts creaking within a year, one of our licensed, insured carpenters fixes it free, and the tread maker warrants the wood itself.
