/ HARDWOOD STAIRS IN WALES
Stair Installation Cost
Stair tread installation in Wales costs $60 per new hardwood tread. If the original treads are still solid, sanding and sealing them is $50 each. Steep cottage stairs on Lake George and boxed stairs in old brick village houses are counted by the step.
New Hardwood Stairs
Each solid hardwood tread is $60, set by our own carpenters. We tally steps and landings during that first visit and put the total on paper.

Tread Samples at Home
We bring a stained sample tread and lay it on the first step next to the hall floor, so you can judge the two colors side by side.

Quiet, Solid Steps
Stair openings in old houses are rarely square. Our carpenter scribes every tread to its own space, so no daylight shows where wood meets plaster.

One Year Stair Warranty
Stair carpenters here are Brazil Floors employees, NWFA certified and fully insured with state licenses. Loose treads in year one get fixed free.
/ OUR SERVICES
Stair Carpenters Serving Wales
Narrow back stairs in lake camps, wide front staircases in Main Street brick homes and simple straight runs in newer houses all need their own approach. Each opening is measured, each tread cut and glued down snug, and the whole flight finished in the color of the upstairs hall.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A staircase built in the 1800s is put together differently from one framed last decade, so we check stringers and risers before planning anything.
Red Oak Treads
Red oak takes color without blotching and sits comfortably beside older strip floors.
White Oak Treads
White oak, with its close and cool toned grain, looks sharp against pale gray hallway paint.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory shows bold, wild grain that hides boot dents, and maple gives a quieter, even surface.
Painted or Wood Risers
Bright white risers make deep stained treads stand out, or one warm stain can cover both parts.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
On an open sided stair, mitered returns tuck the end grain out of sight for a crisp edge.
Landing Treads
A landing tread at the top sits level with the hallway, so nobody trips on a lip at night.
/ Floors, Repairs and Stain
Floors That Meet Your New Stairs
New treads often make the hallway above look dull. Our crew can sand that hall to match, install oak or LVP in nearby rooms, and fix cracked strips so the whole path from stairs to bedrooms ties together.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is a new tread?
Solid hardwood treads run $60 each, installation included. Saving a tread you already have by refinishing it costs $50. Every step and landing gets counted at the free estimate.
Can steep cottage stairs keep their layout?
Yes. We work with the existing stringers and rise, so the staircase keeps its shape while the treads and risers get replaced or refinished.
Is the old carpet removed for us?
It is. Our crew rolls up the carpet and pad, every staple and tack is pulled, and the steps are cleaned before any new wood or finish goes on.
Can new treads match my older floors?
Usually, yes. We stain samples beside your hallway floor until the shades agree, so the stairs and hall read as a single project.
Why do some stairs squeak?
Loose treads rubbing against the stringers or risers. Our carpenters glue every new tread and screw it down, so the creaks stay gone.
Should I save or replace my old treads?
If the wood is solid and free of long cracks, refinishing for $50 a step is the thrifty choice. Split or chewed treads should be replaced at $60.
How are stair projects billed?
New tread jobs are paid in two steps: wood at delivery and labor as the carpenters arrive. A refinish is split evenly between the starting morning and the last day.
Is the stair work guaranteed?
Yes. Our crew backs every staircase it builds for twelve months, and the tread maker separately warrants the lumber itself.
