Treads, Risers and Nosing
Hickory, maple, red oak and white oak are all on the menu for treads. Samples get propped against the bottom step beside your existing floor, so the match is judged in place.

Color is applied on site, so treads can blend with the hall floor, go deeper for contrast or sit above painted white risers in the classic New England way.
A step that rocks is anchored to the stringer first. Next, each tread gets scribed tight, glued and screwed, and that old squeak by the landing goes quiet.
Our own employees build every staircase, licensed, insured and NWFA certified, under a one year labor promise. Any tread that shifts in that span is fixed free.



Sixty dollars, $60 per step, and that includes a new hardwood tread with stain chosen to suit the floors. Multiply by your step count for a ballpark, and we verify the number at the walkthrough.
When they're solid hardwood without deep damage, usually. Refinishing what's there costs $50 per step, tinted to suit the hall or the floor below.
Our crew handles it, padding, tack strip and staples included. Pricing for removal varies by staircase, and you'll have that number at the free estimate before anything is booked.
Yes. A straight staircase usually wraps up within two days at most, and the stain and finish are timed so everyone can still reach the bedrooms at night.
Usually plenty. Squeaks happen when treads rub against nails or stringers, so every piece gets fastened down hard and each new tread gets glued before finishing.
That's the plan. Sample treads in several species get test stained right beside your floor, and we keep adjusting until climbing the stairs feels like walking onto the same floor.
We collect for tread labor the morning the crew arrives, and for material on delivery. For refinishing existing treads, the bill splits in two, half up front that first morning and half at completion.
Yes. Our own crew stands behind its labor for twelve months, and new treads and finishes also carry the manufacturer's warranty.
