Treads, Risers and Nosing
Most families here settle on red or white oak, while hickory and maple suit stronger or paler tastes. We size every tread separately, since old stairwells drift out of square.

Tread Samples at Home
Our estimator carries real tread pieces in several stains. Rest them against the hallway floor near the lowest step, and pick a color well before the saw gets plugged in.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Wobbly steps get tightened at the stringers before anything else. Then each oak tread is trimmed snug to the wall and set with glue and screws for silent climbing.

One Year Stair Warranty
All stair carpentry is done by licensed, insured craftsmen on our staff. A step that loosens before its first anniversary gets tightened again free.
/ OUR SERVICES
Reading Hardwood Stair Carpenters
We build hardwood stairs in center hall colonials near Reading Common, garrisons with steep runs off Haverhill Street and capes tucked along Ash Street. Carpet gets torn off, loose risers are screwed tight, replacement treads are scribed and installed and the finish goes on in your own stairwell to agree with the floors.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
Staircases around town run from short split level flights to tall colonial runs. We sit down with you to choose wood, riser paint and the edge profile at each landing.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak's open grain drinks in stain evenly, so new treads match older oak halls.
White Oak Treads
White oak shows a tight, straight figure, clean and modern in a sunlit front hall.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory shows bold, busy grain and handles knocks well, while maple reads smooth and pale.
Painted or Wood Risers
Painted white risers make stained oak steps pop, or risers can take the tread stain too.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
On a stair with one open side, a returned nosing caps the end grain for a tidy, finished look.
Landing Treads
Landing nosing edges the uppermost step or a mid flight landing, flush with the hall floor so stepping off feels smooth.

Hardwood stairs shine brightest when the hallway matches them. Our crews also install oak on landings, refinish second floor halls, float LVP below grade and swap out a cracked threshold.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is each new oak tread?
It is $60 per step, installed. Treads that are sound but tired can instead be sanded down and given fresh finish at $50 a step.
Our stairs are carpeted. Is removal included?
Yes. Runner, pad and every staple come up, then we inspect the wood beneath and tell you honestly whether refinishing or replacement is the smarter route.
How long until the stairs are usable?
Most straight flights need a day or two. We stage things so someone can always get upstairs safely, even while finish is curing.
Can you stop the stairs from creaking?
Yes. Once old treads are lifted, every step gets adhesive and screws into the stringers, which quiets squeaks for good instead of just masking them.
Will the new stairs match our floors?
We bring samples and stain on site, inside the stairwell, tweaking the color until it sits happily beside the floors on each level.
Can risers be painted white?
Yes. Crisp white risers contrast with darker treads, or they can be stained to match. We show you both looks at the estimate before you decide.
How are stair jobs paid?
Labor for brand new treads is due when carpenters get started, and wood on arrival. When we refinish existing steps, you pay one portion at kickoff and one on the final afternoon.
Do you guarantee stair work?
Yes. Our carpentry stays covered a full year, and treads we provide come with the manufacturer's own product warranty as well.
