Our Process

Craftsmanship in Every Detail

Building a great staircase isn't just about materials — it's about the hands that shape them. Our workshop team brings decades of experience to every project, treating each piece like it's going in their own home.

1

Hand-Selected Lumber

Every board is inspected by hand for grain consistency, structural integrity, and natural beauty. We reject anything that doesn't meet our standards — roughly 30% of lumber we inspect.

2

Precision Milling

Each tread is milled to exact specifications using calibrated equipment. We hold tolerances to 1/32" to ensure perfect fit and alignment on your staircase.

3

Hand Sanding & Finishing

Progressive sanding from 80 to 220 grit creates a silk-smooth surface. Our professional-grade finish is applied in controlled conditions for a flawless, durable coat.

4

Quality Inspection

Before packaging, every piece goes through a final quality check. We inspect for surface imperfections, dimensional accuracy, and finish consistency.

Our Materials

Premium Hardwood Species

We source only the finest North American hardwoods. Each board is hand-selected for grain quality, consistency, and structural integrity.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about our stair treads and custom staircase services. Can't find what you're looking for?

View All FAQs

Solid hardwood treads are milled from a single piece of real wood — all the way through. Engineered wood is a thin layer of hardwood glued to plywood or MDF. Our treads are always 100% solid hardwood, which means they can be sanded and refinished multiple times over their lifetime. Engineered treads cannot.

Standard tread orders typically ship within 2–3 weeks from the date of order confirmation. Custom staircase projects vary based on complexity — usually 4–8 weeks from design approval to completion. We'll give you an accurate timeline during your consultation.

Yes! Our stair treads are designed for both professional and DIY installation. Each order includes detailed installation instructions. For more complex projects or full staircase builds, we offer professional installation services in the New York metro area.

We offer treads in standard lengths of 36", 42", 48", 54", and 60" with depths of 10.5" and 11.5". Standard thickness is 1 inch. Need a custom size? Contact us — we can fabricate treads to any dimension.

Yes, we ship stair treads to all 50 states. Orders are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit. For custom staircase installation, our team currently services the New York tri-state area, with select projects available nationwide.

All treads come pre-sanded and ready for finishing. We offer unfinished treads (for custom on-site staining) and pre-finished treads with our professional-grade clear coat. For custom staircase projects, we offer a full range of stain colors and finish types.

White oak is our most popular choice — it's durable, water-resistant, and has a warm, versatile look. Red oak offers a bolder grain and classic feel. Maple is the hardest option and has a clean, modern aesthetic. Not sure? Call us for a free consultation.

Since every tread is custom-built to your specifications, we cannot accept returns on made-to-order items. However, if there's a defect in materials or workmanship, we'll replace the affected pieces at no cost. We stand behind our work 100%.
