/ OUR SERVICES
Watertown Stair Installation Crew
We rebuild stairs in East Watertown two-families, Capes near Bemis, condos by the Watertown Dam and houses in the West End. Carpet is stripped, loose steps are fastened and new hardwood treads and risers go in, with stain applied on site.
/ RED OAK, WHITE OAK, HICKORY AND MAPLE
Wood Stair Treads and Risers
A narrow back stair and a wide front staircase need different woods, risers and trim, so we help you decide.
Red Oak Treads
Warm stained red oak suits the older floors in houses near Arlington Street.
White Oak Treads
White oak has a pale straight grain that lightens a stair with little window light.
Hickory and Maple Treads
Hickory shows strong grain contrast, and maple lifts a dark stairwell.
Painted or Wood Risers
Owners of older houses choose white painted risers or oak ones in the tread stain.
Open Stairs and Return Ends
An open stair gets return ends so each tread wraps around its exposed side.
Landing Treads
The top tread sits level with the second floor so there is no lip at the landing.
/ Floors, Repairs and Stain
Hardwood Floor Services in Watertown
Many Watertown owners add refinished floors, board repair or new hardwood, vinyl and laminate to the rooms beside a new staircase.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does a new hardwood step cost in Watertown, MA?
One step is $60, covering the tread, riser, bull nose, matching stain and labor.
Will you remove the carpet on my stairs?
Yes. Carpet, pad, tack strips and staples are pulled, and the removal is priced on site.
Can the treads I have be refinished?
If the oak is in good shape, they are hand sanded and refinished for $50 a step. Thin or cracked treads are replaced.
Can I have oak risers?
Yes. Stained to match, oak risers give an all-wood stair, and white paint gives a crisp contrast.
Will the squeaks go away?
In most cases. Loose steps are fastened first, then each new tread is fitted and glued.
How do you finish a stair open on one side?
A return is added at the exposed end so the nose wraps around and the tread looks complete.
How long will it take?
We give a timeline for your staircase at the free estimate. Prefinished treads are slower to order, so that is factored in.
Is the stair labor warrantied?
Yes, for one year. Our stair installers are licensed and insured, with NWFA certification.
