The estimator brings tread samples to your home. Hold them against the floor at the base of the stairs and the right wood is clear.
Wobbly steps are screwed tight first. Next each new tread is fitted to the wall, glued and fastened.
A licensed, insured, NWFA certified crew on our payroll builds the stairs, with a one-year labor warranty.

Yes. We stand behind stair labor for a full year, and the installers are certified by NWFA, licensed and insured.
