Treads, Risers and Nosing
Your tread options include hickory, maple and both red and white oak, all with a softly rounded nose. Picture it from the bottom step, the view you'll have every morning.

Our estimator carries two oak sample treads, one red and one white. Rest one against the upstairs hallway floor, and a custom stain gets blended to connect both.
Before new wood goes on, we tighten loose framing and quiet creaky steps. Then every tread is templated for its own spot and fixed with glue and screws.
NWFA certified, licensed and insured carpenters do the work. If a tread we set comes loose within twelve months, we tighten it again at no charge.



We charge $60 per tread with installation included. A typical cape has twelve or thirteen steps, so we count yours at the free visit and give you a written total.
Yes. Steep cape stairs are common here. We template each tread carefully so the nosings stay even and the steps feel safe, without changing the stair height.
Yes, if they're dry and solid. Many owners finishing a basement add oak treads so the stairs feel like part of the house instead of a utility space.
Pie shaped winder steps each get their own template. They take more time to fit, but the price per tread stays the same.
Sure. Many families add a runner down the middle for grip and quiet. We stain and finish the whole tread first, so the exposed oak edges look finished on both sides.
Usually. The noise is mostly loose nails or wood rubbing. We screw the framing tight and bed each fresh tread in construction adhesive, which almost always ends the squeaks.
Yes. A spare tread gets stained right beside the hallway, and we adjust the mix until it blends. Then the whole flight goes to that same color.
Yes, for one year. If a tread works loose or a nosing pulls up due to our installation, a carpenter comes back and secures it, free.
