Tread Samples at Home
Compare tread samples against your landing and hallway floor at home. Wood species and age can affect the match, even when the same stain is used.

Quiet, Solid Steps
We assess loose parts and the supporting structure before fitting new surfaces. Tightening suitable connections may reduce movement, but new treads do not resolve every structural issue.

One Year Stair Warranty
The written workmanship warranty covers the agreed installation for one year. Maintenance and product terms are reviewed with the completed scope.
/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installation for Manhattan Homes
A narrow townhouse flight in Greenwich Village and a duplex stair in Midtown can need different tread details. We review exposed ends, landings and access between levels, including how residents will move through the home while work and finish drying are underway.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Wood species, riser color and edge details should be chosen together. Samples help connect the staircase with the floors above and below.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak treads have visible grain that responds to stain. Test the color beside the existing landing rather than assuming a match.
White Oak Treads
White oak offers a different grain and color base. A clear or stained sample shows how it relates to nearby flooring.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Other available hardwood species can change the appearance of the flight. We confirm suitability and supply before specifying them.
Painted or Wood Risers
Painted and wood-finished risers create different contrasts. The proposal should identify which treatment is included.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
Open sides need finished returns or another suitable edge detail. Measure each exposed end as part of the stair plan.
Landing Treads
Landing connections deserve the same attention as individual steps, particularly where the new surface meets an older floor.

We can assess the staircase for tread work. Existing dimensions, support and access determine what can be installed and whether additional specialist work is needed.
Can the stairs match my hallway floor?
We compare species and sample finishes. New wood may retain visible differences from an aged floor, so an exact match cannot be guaranteed.
Does a new tread stop every squeak?
No. Noise may come from several connections or the underlying structure. Its cause should be assessed rather than concealed under a new surface.
Are risers and nosing included?
The written quote will state which treads, risers, edge components and finish work are included. Open ends and landings may need separate details.
Can an existing wood tread be refinished instead?
Sometimes. Its thickness, condition and previous treatments determine whether refinishing is suitable.
Can you remove the stair carpet?
Removal can be discussed in the scope. Once the carpet is lifted, any previously hidden damage needs assessment before the finish work continues.
Can I use the stairs while the finish dries?
Use depends on the finish instructions and work plan. Arrange access between levels before starting rather than assuming the flight will remain open.
Is this a structural staircase replacement service?
This page concerns tread, riser and finish work. Structural changes require separate evaluation and an appropriate scope; they are not implied by a tread quotation.
