Treads, Risers and Nosing
Maple, hickory, red or white oak, every tread gets a softly rounded front edge, and stain is mixed to suit the floors at either end of the climb.

We carry tread samples on the estimate visit. Set two of them against the hallway floor at the bottom step and the right one usually jumps out.
Any step that creaks or rocks gets fixed to the framing first. Each tread is then trimmed to hug the walls and glued plus fastened, keeping it silent.
Each staircase built by our crew, every one of them NWFA trained, licensed and insured, carries a year of labor protection. If a step starts talking, we come back.



Our price is $60 per step, tread supplied and installed by our crew. Count your steps and you have the number, and the free visit confirms it before any work begins.
If the treads under the carpet are solid hardwood in good shape, yes. That costs $50 per step and covers sanding off the old finish and sealing the wood again.
New treads usually go in over one or two days. If they are stained and finished on site, plan to skip the stairs or step lightly for another day while the finish dries.
Yes. We strip the carpet and its pad, pull the tack strips, pry every staple and then look closely at each step. If the wood under it is solid, refinishing may be the cheaper path.
Our samples cover maple, hickory and both oaks, and stain gets mixed to match the hallway floor. Test spots go on a scrap first so you can approve the color.
Not if we can help it. Any loose step gets screwed tight to the stringers ahead of the new wood, and each tread is glued and fastened down.
Fresh tread installs get paid the morning our crew pulls in. Refinishing work is split, one half up front and the rest when the stairs are done.
Yes. Workmanship on the stairs is covered for twelve months, so if a tread loosens or squeaks in that stretch, a crew member comes back to fix it.
