Sample treads ride along on every Groton estimate. Hold them against your floor at the bottom step and the right wood is plain to see.
Wobbly steps are screwed tight first. Then the installer scribes each new tread to fit, glues it and fastens it down.
Licensed, insured and NWFA certified crews handle each staircase, and the labor is warrantied for a full year. Any slip, we fix it.



Each step is $60, with the hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, stain matched to your floor and labor all included.
Sound oak stairs are sanded and refinished by hand for $50 per step. Risers are quoted separately if they need attention.
A straight run of 13 steps usually finishes in a day, with stain applied on site. Winders and landings may add a second day.
Yes, we strip the carpet and the pad, then pull every tack strip and staple. The removal price is set at the free estimate.
We stain them to the floor at the top and bottom of the stairs. Before a tread is ordered, the sample sits on your floor for comparison.
Labor for laminate stairs is $50 per step, and each edge gets a nose in the same finish. It is a common pairing with a laminate hallway in Groton.
The treads are paid when they are dropped off, the labor when the installer walks in. We take no deposit.
Yes, every loose step is screwed down before the new treads go on. Quiet stairs are part of the job.
