Sample treads ride on the estimator truck. Hold one up to the floor at the base of the stairs and you can see which wood suits.

/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Franklin
We rebuild stairs in capes near the Red Brick School, colonials around the Ray Memorial Library, split levels by Forge Park and downtown Franklin houses. Carpet is lifted, loose steps are anchored and new oak treads and risers are fitted, often within two days. All staining is done indoors.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A narrow cape stair and a broad colonial flight need different woods and trim, so we help you decide.
Red Oak Treads
Warm red oak blends with the older floors in capes near the school.
White Oak Treads
White oak has a light, orderly grain that works in a stairwell with lots of sun.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory handles heavy traffic, and maple brightens a dim stairwell.
Painted or Wood Risers
Some owners paint risers white while others stain them like the treads.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open stair gets a return so the nosing wraps the exposed end.
Landing Treads
The landing tread at the top lines up with the second-floor boards.

Hardwood Floor Services in Franklin
After a staircase, many Franklin homes ask us to refinish downstairs oak, replace boards or add hardwood, laminate or vinyl plank in other rooms.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does one new hardwood step cost in Franklin?
$60 each, which covers the tread, riser, bull nose, stain matched to your floors and the labor.
Will you strip the carpet from the stairs?
Yes. Carpet, padding, tack strips and staples all go, and we set the price on site.
Is refinishing my current treads possible?
When the oak is sound, hand sanding and refinishing runs $50 per step. Thin or cracked treads are replaced.
Do I need oak risers?
Not necessarily. Oak risers stained to match the treads look seamless, and white paint offers contrast.
Do new treads end the creaking?
Mostly. We secure loose steps first, then glue and fasten each new tread so it stays quiet.
How is an open-sided stair finished?
Exposed ends get a return, so the rounded nosing wraps around and each tread looks complete.
How long does the job take?
Unfinished treads can start the next day and wrap in about two. Prefinished ones can take weeks to arrive.
Are stairs covered by a warranty?
Yes, with one year on labor from a licensed, insured, NWFA certified crew.
