Treads, Risers and Nosing

Treads come in red oak, white oak, hickory or maple, each 1 inch thick and 11 1/2 inches deep with a bull nose and a matching riser.

Tread Samples at Home

Tread samples ride in the estimator's truck to Franklin. Place them on the floor at the bottom of your stairs and the right wood stands out.

Quiet, Solid Steps

Wobbly farmhouse steps are screwed tight before new wood arrives. After that, our installer scribes each oak tread to the farmhouse stringers, beds it in glue and fastens it down.

One Year Stair Warranty

Licensed, insured and NWFA certified crews build every Franklin staircase, and the labor is warrantied for a full year. Any slip is corrected.

Stair Installers in Franklin

We rebuild stairs in Franklin farmhouses, North Franklin capes and ranches, and colonials off Route 32. Carpet comes up, loose treads are anchored and new risers and hardwood treads go in, often inside a day. Stain is applied right in the house.

Wood Stair Treads and Risers

A steep farmhouse stair and a wide colonial flight in North Franklin need different wood, risers and trim, and we go through each choice with you.

Red Oak Treads

Red oak with a warm stain matches the original wide boards in Franklin farmhouses.

White Oak Treads

White oak gives a clean, pale grain in a North Franklin colonial with morning sun.

Hickory and Maple Treads

Hickory shrugs off barnyard grit, and maple brightens a dark farmhouse stair off Route 87.

Painted or Wood Risers

In North Franklin, owners pick white painted risers or oak risers in the tread stain.

Open Stairs and Return Ends

An open sided stair in a Franklin colonial gets return ends that wrap the nose around each tread.

Landing Treads

At the top step, the landing tread sits flush with the second floor in a Route 32 farmhouse.

What is the price of one new hardwood step in Franklin?

Each Franklin step is $60, and that covers the hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, stain matched to your floor and the labor.

Will you remove the old carpet from farmhouse stairs?

Yes. Carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all come off, and the removal cost is agreed on during the estimate.

Can the oak treads in my farmhouse be refinished rather than replaced?

If they are sound and thick enough, hand sanding and refinishing is $50 per step. Split or thin treads are swapped for new ones.

Do Franklin farmhouse stairs look right with oak risers rather than painted?

Yes. Oak risers in the same stain make a Franklin staircase read as solid wood, and white paint gives a crisp contrast.

Will the farmhouse stairs stop creaking?

Usually. Loose steps are screwed down first, and each new tread is fitted, glued and fastened so it stays silent.

How is an open side of the staircase handled?

We add a return to each exposed end so the rounded nose follows the side and every tread looks finished.

How soon can you start in Franklin and how long will it take?

Unfinished treads can start the day after the estimate and a typical flight is done in two days. Prefinished treads are ordered and take weeks.

Do Franklin stair installs come with a warranty?

Yes. The labor is warrantied for one year, and the crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
