Treads, Risers and Nosing

Red oak, white oak, hickory and maple are the four tread woods we keep on hand. Every tread measures 1 inch thick by 11 1/2 inches deep, carries a bull nose and pairs with a riser.

Tread Samples at Home

Our estimator keeps a bundle of tread offcuts in the van for exactly this. Set them against your floor at the bottom of the stairs and the right wood jumps out.

Quiet, Solid Steps

Before a single tread goes in, every wobbly step is screwed down firm. The installer then scribes each tread to the stringers, glues it and fastens it down.

One Year Stair Warranty

Licensed, insured and NWFA certified crews handle every staircase, and labor carries a one year warranty. If anything shifts, we come back.

Wood Stair Treads and Risers

A steep three-family back stair and a wide West End front staircase need different treatment, so we help pick the wood, risers and trim.

Red Oak Treads

Red oak with a warm stain fits the original floors in Asylum Hill Victorians.

White Oak Treads

White oak gives a pale, even grain in a West End house with big front windows.

Hickory and Maple Treads

Hickory shrugs off boot traffic in Frog Hollow rentals, and maple lightens a dark Upper Albany stairwell.

Painted or Wood Risers

Along Capitol Avenue, owners choose white painted risers or oak risers in the tread stain.

Open Stairs and Return Ends

An open staircase in a renovated downtown loft gets return ends that wrap each tread.

Landing Treads

In Parkville two-families, the landing tread sits level with the second floor at the top step.

What does one new hardwood step cost in Hartford?

Each step is $60, with the hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, matched stain and labor all included.

Will you pull the old carpet off my stairs?

Yes. We strip carpet, pad, tack strips and staples, then settle the removal price with you on site.

Can my existing treads be refinished instead?

If they are solid oak in good shape, hand sanding and refinishing is $50 per step. Split or thin treads get replaced.

Can the risers be oak too?

Yes. Oak risers stained like the treads give an all wood stair, while white paint gives a sharper contrast.

Will new treads stop the squeaks in a three-family stair?

Usually. Loose steps are screwed down first, and every tread is scribed, glued and fastened so it stays quiet.

How do you finish a stair with an open side?

Each exposed end gets a return, so the rounded nose wraps the side and the tread looks finished from every angle.

When could you begin on my stairs, and how many days will it run?

Prefinished treads are ordered and take weeks, but unfinished oak jobs often start the next day and finish within two.

Is the stair work warrantied?

Yes. Stair labor carries a one year warranty, and the installers hold licenses, insurance and NWFA certification.
