Bring the samples to the first step and look at them next to the hall floor. In a narrow mill house stair, that tells you a lot fast.
Old mill stairs often have a few loose steps, and we screw those tight first. The new treads are then scribed, glued and screwed down.
Our crews are licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and each stair comes with a one year warranty on the labor. Call if anything shifts.

A return piece goes on each exposed tread end, and the nose curves around the corner so the side looks clean.
Unfinished treads let us begin as soon as tomorrow, with two days or less on site. Prefinished treads are ordered and need weeks.
We do. Crews hold a license, insurance and NWFA certification, and stair labor stays under warranty for a year.
