Stair Tread Installation and Replacement
Serving Denver & Surrounding Areas
What to Expect From Our Stair Tread Installation
Precision, code compliance, and a flawless finish
Step by Step Stair & Rail specializes in stair tread installation that blends craftsmanship with building-code expertise. We begin with a detailed on-site assessment to measure every rise and run, evaluate stringers and landings, and confirm compliance with applicable residential or commercial codes. From nosing projection to uniformity of riser heights, our approach prioritizes safety, durability, and a refined aesthetic that complements your home.
You can expect clear communication, careful protection of surrounding floors and walls, and dust control using HEPA-equipped tools. Our installers handle everything from removal of old treads to meticulous scribing around skirt boards, ensuring tight joints, quiet steps, and a smooth finish. The result is a staircase that looks exceptional, feels solid underfoot, and stands up to daily use.
From assessment to final walk-through
We start with a design and materials consultation to select wood species, tread profile, and finish system. Materials are acclimated to the home, work areas are protected, and existing treads and risers are carefully removed as needed. We inspect and tune the structure—tightening stringers, shimming to correct out-of-level conditions, and eliminating squeaks before any new components go in.
Each tread is dry-fit, scribed, and trimmed for a seamless edge at skirt boards and stringers. We use high-strength construction adhesive with strategic mechanical fastening to produce a rigid, quiet stair. Miters and returned nosings are glued and pinned, fastener holes are filled and blended, and risers are installed or refinished for a crisp reveal. After cleanup, we conduct a detailed walk-through to confirm quality and answer care and maintenance questions.
Treads built to last and tailored to your style
Choose from solid hardwoods like red or white oak, maple, hickory, and walnut, or engineered options for stability. We install full replacement treads or retrofit overlays that fit over existing construction when appropriate. Our team verifies rise and run consistency and ensures the finished nosing and tread depth meet current standards and any applicable local amendments.
Finishing options include factory-prefinished treads for speed and consistency or site-finished systems for custom color matching. We offer waterborne polyurethane for low odor and fast cure, oil-modified finishes for rich depth, and non-slip treatments to improve traction. Rounded bullnoses, eased edges, and painted risers can further refine the look and enhance safety.
Enhance your project with coordinated risers, skirt board upgrades, baluster and newel replacements, and railing refinishing. We also integrate carpet runners, sound-dampening techniques, and subtle step lighting upon request. Every installation is backed by a workmanship warranty and clear maintenance guidance to protect your investment.
