Our estimator carries real tread offcuts in several tones. Hold them against the floor at the bottom of your stairs and pick a color before anything gets cut.
Wobbly or creaking steps get fixed at the framing first. Then each oak tread is scribed to the plaster and secured with adhesive and screws for a silent climb.
Licensed, insured carpenters on our own payroll do all stair work. If a step works loose within a year of installation, we come back and tighten it for free.



Sixty dollars, so $60 per step with installation. Treads that are solid and just tired can be sanded and refinished instead for $50 per step.

Yes. Our carpentry is guaranteed for a year of labor. Any treads Brazil Floors supplies are also protected by the manufacturer's own warranty.
