Available as Custom Order
Transform carpeted or worn stairs into masterpieces. Close-up of flush joint carpentry, showcasing thick natural oak treads resting on smooth white risers with tight, professional seams. This service removes existing carpet, padding, and damaged treads/risers, replacing them with new hardwood components while preserving the existing stringer structure when it is sound and code-compliant. Each tread is milled from premium select-grade hardwood to exact specifications, ensuring consistent rise and run throughout the staircase for safety and comfort. The white risers are painted with commercial-grade enamel for durability and ease of cleaning, or can be stained to match the treads for a monolithic appearance. All joints are crafted using traditional cope-and-stick joinery techniques, creating tight, seamless connections that eliminate squeaks and movement. The process includes thorough inspection of the existing stringers for rot, insect damage, or structural issues, with reinforcement or replacement recommended when necessary. This recapping service is ideal for staircases that are structurally sound but aesthetically outdated, offering significant cost savings compared to full replacement while delivering comparable visual results. Installation typically takes 3-5 days depending on staircase length and condition, and includes sanding, staining or painting, and application of durable finish for longevity. We include a detailed walkthrough with homeowners to ensure satisfaction with color choices and finish options before work begins.
