Real tread samples ride along on the free estimate. Set them on the floor at the bottom of your Granby stairs and the right species picks itself.
Before a single tread goes on, wobbly steps get screwed to the stringers. Each new tread is then scribed to the walls, bedded in glue and fastened so it never talks back.
Every staircase is built by licensed, insured, NWFA certified Brazil Floors employees, and the labor stays under warranty for twelve months. If a tread shifts, we return and fix it.



$60 per step, and that covers the hardwood tread, the riser, the bull nose, stain matched to your floor and the labor. The number on the estimate is the number on the bill.

Each exposed end gets a return, so the rounded nose continues around the side. The tread looks finished from every angle.
With unfinished treads the Granby crew usually begins the day after the estimate and wraps up in two days. Prefinished treads are special ordered and take a few weeks to arrive.
Yes, twelve months on the labor. The stair crew carries licenses, insurance and NWFA certification.
