/ STAIR TREADS IN NORTHBOROUGH
Stair Installation Cost
In Northborough, new oak stair treads are $60 a step, fitted and stained in the shade you want. Treads that are still strong can stay, and a refinish on those costs $50 per step, whether in a Main Street farmhouse or a colonial near Assabet Hill.

On a Northborough staircase, you pay $60 for every new oak tread, and that price includes fitting it and staining it to match your hallway floor.

Tread Samples at Home
Dark treads above white risers, clear oak from the first step to the last, or light treads climbing from a marble foyer: we test the stain on an offcut so you see it first.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Each step is measured on its own, since stairs in old Main Street farmhouses have settled out of square over time. Every nosing and return is trimmed for a tight fit.

One Year Stair Warranty
Northborough staircases come with our 1-year labor warranty plus the tread manufacturer's coverage. Our NWFA certified employees handle every step.
/ OUR SERVICES
Northborough Stair Crew
Northborough stairs take a beating: hockey bags dumped at the bottom, dogs bolting up after a walk at Edmund Hill Woods, laundry baskets carried up all week. We've redone staircases in homes off Route 135 and near the Town Common, setting each tread with care and hand sanding every nosing.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
The staircase is often the first thing guests notice when they step into the front hall. Choose a look that ties together the floors upstairs and down.
Red Oak Treads
Espresso treads over crisp white risers give a Northborough front hall a timeless look.
White Oak Treads
Clear-finished oak on treads and risers lets dark, lively grain greet you at the door.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Light oak treads climbing from a marble-tiled front hall keep a newer Northborough entry bright.
Painted or Wood Risers
A rounded bullnose on every tread softens the profile and is kinder to bare feet at night.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
Using the same stain as the second floor hall makes the steps and the landing feel like one floor.
Landing Treads
Satin finish on a busy staircase hides sneaker scuffs and claw marks much better than high gloss.

A freshly redone staircase can make the landing above look dated. Our crews also install oak, LVP and laminate, refinish hardwood and fix damaged spots across Northborough.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much per step for stair treads in Northborough?
We charge $60 per new oak tread, fitted on the stairs and stained in your color. To keep your current treads, refinishing runs $50 a step, sanding and finish included.
Our Northborough stairs have old carpet. Can it come off?
Yes. The carpet, pad and all the tack strips come off, and then we inspect the wood. Sometimes the oak only needs a refinish; other times new treads make more sense.
White risers or stained ones: which do people pick?
Many Northborough families paint risers white for contrast, and others like them stained in the same tone as each tread. We bring examples of both to your free estimate.
How many days is our staircase out of use?
Usually a day or two, which depends on your stain and finish. We can do alternate steps, so the kids still get up to bed on the first night.
Can the stairs match our hallway floors?
Yes. Stain samples go on oak scraps until one blends with the second floor hall as well as the front entry, and we only start once you sign off.
Is stair work done by your own staff?
Yes, our own employees do every step. They're NWFA certified, and our license and insurance cover them. We never hand Northborough stairs over to subcontractors.
Do new treads come with a guarantee?
Yes. If a tread we set on your Northborough stairs loosens within a year, our crew tightens it at no charge. That's our labor warranty, and the tread manufacturer warranties the wood itself.
How does paying for stair treads work?
You pay for treads when they're delivered, and for labor once the crew starts on your Northborough stairs. No large deposit weeks early, and your per-step quote doesn't change.
