Treads, Risers and Nosing
Tread wood is your pick: red oak, white oak, hickory or maple. Treads are an inch thick and 11 1/2 inches front to back, finished with a bull nose and a matching riser.

Our estimator parks outside with wood samples in the truck. Carry a few to the bottom step, hold them against the hallway floor and the best match shows itself.
Wobbly treads get screwed solid before anything else happens. After that the installer fits the new tread to the wall line, then glues and fastens it.
Employees who hold a license, insurance and NWFA certification build each flight, and we guarantee the labor for twelve months.



Each one is $60 and covers the tread, riser, bull nose, a stain to match and the labor.
We do, along with the pad, tack strips and staples. The removal figure is given at the house.
When the oak is sound, hand sanding and refinishing costs $50 a step. Cracked or thin treads are replaced instead.
That is up to you. Risers stained like the treads give a solid wood look, and painted ones give a sharp contrast.
In most staircases they do, because loose steps are fastened first and each new tread is glued and fastened.
A return is fitted to every exposed end, so the rounded nose continues around the side.
Your estimator explains the schedule during the free visit, since it depends on the number of steps and whether stain is involved.
Our labor is covered for a year, and the installers are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
