Treads, Risers and Nosing

Brazil Floors carpenters, all licensed, insured and NWFA certified, build each Meriden stair. Nobody from another firm touches them.
Each tread is measured on its own, because factory-era Meriden stairs are rarely square. Every piece is cut for its own step.
Labor on every tread and riser is warranted for a year from the day the stairs reopen, and the oak carries the maker's warranty as well.



One new oak step in Meriden is $60, which includes tread, riser, nosing, stain and labor. A stair that is sanded or capped with laminate is $50 a step.
Yes. Each tread is cut to its own opening, which suits the tall flights in older Meriden houses.
Figure on one day per flight, and the finish is dry by the next morning.
Yes, the treads are stained and sealed to your floor, so a single color climbs through the house.
Yes, pad, staples and tack strips all go, and we price the removal at your free Meriden visit.
The crew fits new treads and risers and resets your existing balusters in place. A new railing is a separate quote.
Labor is paid when the crew begins, and the oak is paid for as it arrives. Booking online saves $250.
