Tread Samples at Home
Stain samples go on an offcut of the same species, so you can match the hall floor or pick a darker tread to stand out against painted risers.

Quiet, Solid Steps
We measure every single step. Milford houses that are a century old seldom have two treads with the same depth, and a tread cut to the average never sits right.

One Year Stair Warranty
Brazil Floors backs stair work a full year; separately, the tread maker warrants its wood. Pay labor as our carpenters unload their saws, treads when they arrive.
/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Carpenters Working in Milford
Staircases around Milford range from tight, winding back stairs in Victorian houses near Memorial Hall to wide two story foyers in subdivisions off Route 85. Our carpenters strip the old covering, check each riser for squeaks, cut every tread to its own opening and finish the run so it looks like one piece of furniture.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Before a single tread gets cut, we walk homeowners through a few choices. Here are the ones that make the biggest difference on Milford stairs.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak accepts stain evenly from end to end and matches the floors in most Milford capes and colonials.
White Oak Treads
White oak's grain runs tighter and cooler in tone, which suits gray or natural finishes well.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory and maple rank even harder on the scale, smart for a house with two big dogs charging upstairs.
Painted or Wood Risers
Bright white risers set off a dark walnut tread, or the risers get stained to match for a uniform look.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
Where a staircase has a railing side, a mitered return end turns the nosing so raw end grain stays hidden.
Landing Treads
We lay the landing in matching oak, letting the staircase flow straight into the upstairs hall with no clumsy seam.
/ Floors, Repairs and Stain
Matching Floors for the Upstairs Hall
The top step usually opens onto a hallway, so we can put oak or LVP up there too, lay laminate, refinish or recolor existing wood and patch damage until the route from foyer to bedrooms matches.

Stairs Done in Days
Before booking, homeowners near Draper Park ask how many days stairs take, how the family gets up to bed and if we touch the railing. Here's what we tell them.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateNew oak stair treads: what's the price?
For a new solid hardwood tread, figure $60 per step, installed and finished. If the carpet is hiding solid treads already, our crew can bring them back for $50 a step.
How many days will my staircase take?
A straight flight of thirteen or fourteen steps in a Milford colonial is usually done in one to two days, with extra drying time when we stain right there on the stairs.
Can the kids still get to their bedrooms?
Yes. We finish alternating steps, so there's always a dry tread to climb on. Go slowly, hold the rail, and keep the cat off until the finish hardens.
Will you work on the banister and balusters?
Our carpenters stick to treads, risers and landings, and we tape and protect your balusters and newel post while we work. For a new railing, we can refer a finish carpenter.
Will the stairs match my upstairs hall?
They can. Stain gets tested on an offcut of the very species we're installing, so the treads blend into the hall, or we go a shade darker if you want contrast.
Could there be oak under my stair carpet?
In houses around Prospect Heights, quite often. At the estimate we lift the carpet on one step to look, and if the wood is solid, refinishing at $50 a step saves real money.
When is stair work paid?
For new treads, our carpenters collect labor on arrival and the wood is paid at delivery. When we're refinishing existing steps, it gets split into two payments, sanding day and finish day.
Is my staircase covered by a warranty?
Should one of our treads work loose or start squeaking within a year, Brazil Floors fixes it, and the wood maker warrants the treads. The carpenters are our own NWFA certified employees.
