Brazil Floors carpenters build your stairs, licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and no outside crew ever touches the staircase.
Treads are measured one at a time, since even handsome old staircases are seldom square. Each piece is cut for its own step.
Labor on every tread and riser is warranted for a year from the day the stairs reopen, and the oak carries the maker's warranty.
