Stair treads

Stair tread replacement

New solid hardwood treads over sound stringers, glued and fastened so the squeaks do not come back.

What's included

Scope of work

  • Solid hardwood treads in oak, maple, hickory and walnut
  • Retread over sound existing stringers
  • Bullnose and mitered return options
  • Glued and fastened to eliminate movement and squeaks

Retread vs full rebuild

If the stringers and framing are solid, new treads and risers can go directly over the existing structure. That keeps the layout, the rise and run, and the cost far below a rebuild.

Material and thickness

Full 1-inch solid treads for a substantial feel, or engineered treads matched to a floating floor. Returns are mitered on open sides so end grain never shows.

No-squeak install

Every tread is bedded in construction adhesive and mechanically fastened, with shims where the substructure is out of level.

Questions

Common questions

How much does stair tread replacement cost?

Most projects run $120 to $250 per step installed and finished, depending on species and whether risers and skirts are included.

Can you replace one damaged tread?

Yes, and we blend the finish so the repair is not obvious.
