Stair Installation Cost
Stairs in Portland are priced at $60 per step, and the number does not move. The price covers the hardwood tread, a riser, the bull nose, stain matched to your floor and a crew that finishes the job properly.
New Hardwood Stairs
A $60 step means a 1 inch hardwood tread over a new riser, a bull nose up front, stain in your color and the crew's labor, nothing added later.

Tread Samples at Home
Tread samples ride in the estimator's truck. Hold one up against the floor at the base of your stairs and the right wood stands out.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Loose steps get screwed down hard before any new wood goes in. Next our installer scribes each tread to the stringer, then glues and fastens it.

/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Portland
We rebuild stairs in Main Street Victorians, Grove Street capes, Rose Hill colonials and Penfield Hill ranches. Carpet comes up, loose steps get anchored and new hardwood treads and risers go in, often in a day. Staining happens indoors.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A tight Victorian stair and a wide colonial flight need different answers, so we help you pick wood, risers and trim.
Red Oak Treads
Warm stained red oak suits the older floors in the Victorians along Silver Street.
White Oak Treads
White oak shows a light, clean grain in a house with strong morning sun off the river.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory resists skates and sneakers, and maple lightens a dark stairwell in a Penfield Hill ranch.
Painted or Wood Risers
On Grove Street, owners choose white painted risers or oak ones in the tread stain.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open stair in a Cotton Hill Road home gets return ends that round each tread at the side.
Landing Treads
In older Portland houses, the top tread is set level with the second floor boards.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does one new hardwood step cost in Portland?
A Portland step is $60 and includes the hardwood tread, riser, bull nose, stain matched to your floor and labor.
Do you remove old carpet from Portland stairs?
Yes. Carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all come off your Portland stairs, and the removal price is set on site at the free visit.
Should I replace my treads or refinish them?
Solid oak can be hand sanded and refinished for $50 a step, risers excluded. Cracked or worn thin treads are replaced.
Can the risers be oak?
Yes. Oak risers stained like the treads give a full wood look, and painted white risers give a sharp contrast.
Will the squeaks go away with new treads?
Usually. Before the new treads go in, loose steps are fastened, and then each tread is fitted, glued and secured to stay silent.
How do you finish an open sided stair?
On each exposed end we fit a return so the rounded nose wraps around the side of the tread.
How long will a stair job take?
Unfinished jobs frequently start the next day and wrap up in about two. Prefinished treads are ordered to spec and run longer.
Is there a warranty on stair work?
Yes. Stair labor has a one year warranty, and the Portland crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
