Treads, Risers and Nosing
Carpet on stairs wears through at the nose first and holds onto dog hair. Solid oak treads look sharp, wipe clean and last for decades in a busy house.

Tread Samples at Home
We bring stain samples to try on a scrap of the same oak, so the treads can match your hall floor or stand out against white risers.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Our estimator measures every step, because older houses near Middleton Square rarely have two treads exactly the same depth or width.

/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Crew for Middleton Homes
Middleton staircases run from steep, tight back stairs in houses on Maple Street dating to the 1700s to open two story foyers in newer neighborhoods near the Boxford line. Our carpenters strip what's there, check every riser, cut each tread to its own step and finish it so the whole run reads as one piece.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Hardly any two staircases in Middleton were built alike. These are the choices we talk through with homeowners before cutting a single tread.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak treads take stain evenly and match the floors in most capes and colonials around town.
White Oak Treads
Quartersawn white oak shows straight, even grain with a cooler, grayer cast, great under natural finishes.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory and maple are harder still, a good pick when big dogs race up and down all day.
Painted or Wood Risers
Bright white painted risers set off a dark tread, or we stain the risers the same walnut tone as the oak.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
Stairs open to a Liberty Street living room get mitered return ends, so each tread edge turns neatly toward the balusters.
Landing Treads
Landings get matching oak so the staircase flows straight into the upstairs hall without a seam.
/ Floors, Repairs and Stain
Hallway Floors to Go With the Stairs
A staircase usually ends at a hallway. Up there our crew can install oak or LVP, lay laminate, sand and stain older wood and patch damage, so the climb from the front door looks finished.

Stairs Done in Days
Before booking, homeowners on Liberty Street ask how long stairs take, whether they can still use them and what happens to the railing. The answers are below.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat's the price of new oak stair treads?
Each new solid hardwood tread is $60 installed. If what's under the carpet is already solid wood, we can sand and refinish those treads for $50 a step instead.
How long does a staircase take?
A standard straight run of thirteen or fourteen steps usually takes one to two days, plus drying time if we stain and finish on site.
Can the family still get upstairs during the job?
We work so there's always a way up and down, usually by finishing every other step first, but you'll want to go carefully until the finish cures.
Do you replace the railing too?
Our focus is treads, risers and landings. We work carefully around balusters and newel posts and can point you to a railing carpenter if you need one.
Can treads match my hallway floor?
Yes. We brush stain on an offcut of that species so the treads blend with your hall, or we pick a contrast color if you'd like the stairs to stand out.
Is there oak under my stair carpet?
In older houses, it often is. When the estimator visits, he tugs up the carpet at the top step to look. When the treads are solid and sound, refinishing at $50 per step can save money.
Is stair work paid all at once?
New tread labor is paid when the carpenters arrive, and the treads themselves when they're delivered. Refinishing old steps is billed half on sanding day and half after the last finish dries.
Is stair work under warranty?
Brazil Floors guarantees stair labor through the first twelve months, and the wood is covered by the manufacturer. Every carpenter on our crew is NWFA certified.
