Treads, Risers and Nosing
You can have treads in hickory, maple, red oak or white oak. Every one measures 1 inch thick by 11 1/2 inches deep, bull nosed, and ships with its riser.

Tread samples ride in the estimator's truck. Lean them against the floor at the bottom step and the wood that belongs becomes obvious.
Before any tread goes on, wobbly steps are screwed down hard. Then our installer scribes each new tread to the stringers, glues it and fastens it in place.
Licensed, insured and NWFA certified crews build every staircase, and the labor carries a one year warranty. Anything that moves, we fix.



A step runs $60 and that buys the hardwood tread, its riser, the bull nose, a stain keyed to your floor and the installation.
Yes, sound oak stairs are sanded and refinished by hand for $50 per step. Risers are quoted separately if they need work.
A straight flight of 13 steps is usually done in one day, with stain applied on site. Winders and landings can add a second day.
We pull the carpet, pad, tack strips and staples. The removal cost is set with you at the free estimate.
We stain the treads to match the floor at the top and bottom of the stairs. Samples are held against your floor before anything is ordered.
Laminate on stairs is $50 per step in labor, with matching nosing on every edge. Many Griswold families pair it with a laminate hallway.
Materials are paid at delivery and labor when the crew arrives. No deposit is needed.
Yes, every loose step gets screwed down before the new treads go on. Silent stairs are part of the job.
