Treads, Risers and Nosing
Maple, hickory, white oak or red oak: your call on the species. Whichever wins, its front edge is eased round, kinder to bare toes on a frosty January morning.

We bring tread offcuts in several species to your estimate. Set them down where hallway meets first step, and you pick a wood and stain in real light.
Wobbly steps get screwed solid before anything else. Each tread is then cut snug to the stringers, bedded in adhesive and nailed, so the creak goes quiet.
NWFA certified, licensed, insured people handle every staircase. For a full year we guarantee what they did, and a tread that moves gets fixed, no argument.



Sixty dollars per step, fitted and stained to suit your floors. When treads underneath are already solid wood, we can save them with a $50 per step refinish.
No. Carpet, padding and fasteners get pulled first so each tread sits flat and tight. Removal cost is confirmed once we see your staircase at the free estimate.
A usual staircase needs a day, maybe two, for install plus stain. When you still need to get up and down, we work alternate steps or leave a safe path.
Before a single tread goes on, every wobbly step is anchored to its stringers. Each tread is then glued and fastened, which silences nearly every creak.
Yes. Stain samples go on scrap tread pieces laid next to your hall floor, so the color on your treads lines up with rooms both upstairs and down.
Oak in red or white suits most houses, with hickory and maple as the other popular picks. Red oak stains evenly, hickory shows bold grain, and maple stays pale and smooth.
For new treads, you settle labor on the morning we arrive and material at drop off. Refinishing old treads is billed in halves: the first when sanding starts, the second after the last step dries.
Our guarantee on stair labor runs a full year, and tread makers add their own warranty. Everyone climbing your stairs with tools is NWFA certified, licensed and insured.
