Oak treads are cut to fit each opening, since no two steps in a century old New London house are the same width.
The estimator counts steps, checks the stringers and carries tread samples to the hall so color is judged in the house's own light.
Stair work carries twelve months of workmanship coverage, and the crew is licensed, insured and NWFA trained. Pay when work begins.
