Samples ride in the estimator's truck. Hold a tread against the floor at the foot of the stairs and the right species shows itself.
Loose steps are fastened first. Then our installer scribes each tread to the stringer, glues it and fixes it down so it stays quiet.
Each crew member is licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and our stair labor has a year of warranty. Pay for labor at the start and material on delivery.

Usually. We secure loose steps first, then glue and fasten each new tread so it holds tight.
We add a return at the exposed end so the nose wraps around and the tread looks finished from the side.
Your estimator gives a schedule based on the flight and whether the wood is prefinished. Prefinished treads are a special order, unfinished ones ship from Natick next day.
Our stair labor comes with a one year warranty, and the maker backs the wood. Crews hold a license and insurance, plus NWFA certification.
