Stair Installation Cost
Portsmouth homeowners pay $60 per step for new stairs, with every piece and every hour inside that figure. We bring the hardwood tread, its riser and bull nose, mix stain to suit your floor and set it all.
New Hardwood Stairs
Sixty dollars a step covers it here: an inch of solid hardwood on top, the riser tucked below, a bull nose front and stain brushed on by our crew.

Tread Samples at Home
Our estimator carries a box of tread samples. Rest one on a stair by a window facing the bay and the wood and stain become obvious.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Bayside humidity loosens old steps, so we screw those down first. New treads are scribed against the skirt board, glued and fastened.

One Year Stair Warranty
Each crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and for one full year we stand behind the stair labor. A tread works loose, we fix it.
/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Installers in Portsmouth
Our installers rebuild stairs in Island Park cottages, Melville colonials and capes near Common Fence Point. Old carpet is lifted, any shaky step is anchored and hardwood treads over fresh risers go down, at times the day after your call. Stain is mixed in the house.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Beach cottages tend to have tight stairs and the newer colonials wide ones, and we help you land on the wood, the risers and trim.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak with a warm stain feels right next to old floors in cottages around Island Park.
White Oak Treads
White oak keeps things pale and easy in a Melville colonial a short drive from the marina.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory shrugs off grit from Sandy Point Beach, and maple lifts a dark hall off East Main Road.
Painted or Wood Risers
Near Common Fence Point, white painted risers or oak ones stained like the treads both work.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
Open flights in Prudence Island houses get return ends, rounding every exposed tread end.
Landing Treads
In homes by Green Animals, a landing tread lets the top step meet the hallway dead level.
/ Floors, Repairs and Stain
Hardwood Floor Services in Portsmouth
Island Park cottages get damp boards repaired and stained, oak sanded and refinished, vinyl plank or laminate where water is a worry and new hardwood in the main rooms.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will each new stair step run in Portsmouth?
Each step is $60 and includes the hardwood tread, its riser, the bull nose, a stain to suit your floor and labor.
What happens to the old stair carpet?
The carpet, pad, staples and tack strips are lifted off every step by our crew, and removal is priced as we measure.
Is there a way to save my original treads?
Sound oak treads are worth saving, and hand sanding plus a fresh finish costs $50 a step. Thin or split ones get swapped.
Do the risers have to be painted white?
No. White paint is popular, but oak risers stained to match your treads give the stairs an all wood look.
Can you fix stairs that creak in a beach house?
Yes, in most cases. We screw loose steps down, then every tread is scribed to the skirt, glued and fastened.
How do the exposed tread ends get finished?
A return end is mitered on, so the rounded nose continues around the side and the end looks complete.
What is the timeline for new stairs?
We can usually be there the next day and done in one or two. Prefinished treads ship on special order over weeks.
Do you carry a warranty and insurance?
Yes. Our crews are licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and we warranty the stair labor for one full year.
