Treads, Risers and Nosing
We strip the carpet, tack strips and staples, check the stringers for movement and screw down any loose step before the new oak goes on.

The carpenters on your stairs work for Brazil Floors and carry our license, insurance and NWFA training. No outside carpenter touches a Ledyard staircase.
Each tread is measured on its own because even newer Ledyard staircases are seldom perfectly square. Every tread is cut to its own step.
Every tread and riser carries a twelve month labor warranty from the day the stairs reopen.



New oak treads and risers come to $60 a step installed. Sanding existing steps or laying laminate treads is $50 a step.

The treads take the floor's stain and finish, so the color runs up the stairs unbroken.
Yes. Each tread is measured and cut on its own, which handles the odd angles in Ledyard's older houses.
On an open stair we fit treads and risers and reinstall your balusters. New railings are quoted separately.
Brazil Floors carpenters who are NWFA trained, licensed and insured. A Ledyard staircase is never handed to a subcontractor.
Our labor carries a twelve month warranty from the day the stairs reopen.
