/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Hamden
We redo stairs in Spring Glen capes, Highwood two and three families, Mount Carmel colonials and ranches off Dunbar Hill. Carpet is ripped up, loose steps get anchored and new risers with hardwood treads go in, often within a day. Every bit of stain goes on inside.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A narrow cape stair and a three story Highwood flight need very different things, so we help you pick the wood, risers and trim.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak, warm stained, suits the older floors in capes around Spring Glen.
White Oak Treads
White oak shows a pale, clean grain in a Mount Carmel colonial with plenty of morning light.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory takes the grit from Sleeping Giant trails, and maple brightens a dark stair in a Centerville ranch.
Painted or Wood Risers
In Whitneyville, owners pick white painted risers or oak ones in the same stain.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open stair in a newer Mount Carmel home gets return ends, which round each tread at the side.
Landing Treads
In Highwood, the landing tread sits even with the second floor at the top step.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is one new hardwood step in Hamden?
Every step is $60, and that pays for the hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, a stain matched to your floor and the labor. Nothing on the stair is billed separately.
Can you take the old carpet off the stairs?
Yes, we tear out carpet and pad and pull the tack strips and staples. The removal price is worked out on site.
Can my current treads just be refinished?
If they are sound oak, hand sanding and refinishing come to $50 per step. Cracked or thin ones get swapped out.
Which wood is best for a busy Highwood three-family stair?
Hickory, the hardest of the four, takes constant tenant traffic without denting. White oak is a close second and stains evenly.
How long will my stairs be out of use?
Most flights are rebuilt in a day and the finish dries overnight. You can use them in socks the next morning.
Will the new treads match my floor?
Yes, the stain is mixed and tested against your floor at the base of the stairs. Samples go on in daylight before anything is final.
Do you install laminate on stairs?
We do, at $50 per step for labor with nosing in the same shade on every edge. Upstairs or down, the stairs flow into the laminate floor around them.
Who does the work and what is the warranty?
Brazil Floors employees only, each licensed, insured and NWFA certified. The labor is covered for one year.
