Tread Samples at Home
Bring the color question to the estimate. A stained sample tread sits on your first step during the visit, and you judge it right next to the existing oak in the hall.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Few older staircases here are perfectly square. Our carpenter scribes each tread to its own opening, so no gaps show at the wall or the stringer.

One Year Stair Warranty
Every carpenter on the stairs is our own employee, NWFA certified, licensed and insured. Should any tread loosen during the first year, refastening is free.
/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Carpenters in Wakefield
From tight back stairs in Greenwood capes to grand front staircases in homes along Prospect Street, every set of steps is different. We measure each one, cut every tread to fit, glue and fasten it so it stays quiet, and finish the whole run so it matches the floor at the top.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
An older staircase near Wakefield Junction is built differently than one in a new house. We look at the stringers and risers before planning the work.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak accepts most stains without blotching and pairs well with older strip floors.
White Oak Treads
White oak, with a fine, cool toned grain, looks sharp in a front hall painted light gray.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory has bold grain that hides dents from boots, and maple offers a smooth, even look.
Painted or Wood Risers
White risers make dark treads stand out, or we can stain treads and risers one warm color.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
Open sided stairs get mitered returns that tuck the end grain away for a clean edge.
Landing Treads
A wide landing tread at the top meets the hallway floor flush, so nobody catches a toe on a lip.

With handsome new steps in place, the hallway at the top often looks tired. We also install oak, lay LVP and laminate, refinish older rooms and repair damaged strips so everything matches.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is the price for each new tread?
A new solid hardwood tread runs $60 with installation, and refinishing one already there costs $50. During the free estimate we count all steps and landings.
When are the steps usable again?
Our carpenters finish a typical staircase in a day or two. Staining and sealing adds another day for the finish to dry before the family runs up and down again.
Who pulls up the old stair carpet?
Our crew does. Carpet and pad get rolled up, the pliers come out for every last staple, and the steps are swept clean before any new treads or finish go on.
Will new treads match the upstairs hall?
Usually, yes. We stain sample treads beside your hallway oak until the color lines up, so steps and hall read as one continuous floor.
What makes stairs creak?
Loose treads rubbing on the stringers or risers. When we install new treads, we glue and fasten each one, which keeps them quiet for years.
Is it better to save my old treads?
Solid treads without deep splits are worth refinishing at $50 a step. Split or badly damaged treads are better replaced at $60.
How does payment for stair work go?
New treads are paid as wood is dropped off, with labor due when the carpenters show up. Refinishing is paid in two equal parts, when sanding starts and once the last step is sealed.
Is the staircase work guaranteed?
Yes. We back the carpentry for twelve months after install, and the wood itself comes with its own manufacturer warranty on top of ours.
