We cut new treads to exact length and width, matching the nosing profile as closely as possible.

Fasten and secure

We glue and screw the new treads down, eliminating any flex or squeak before we leave.

Good to know

Stair Tread Replacement in Charleston — FAQ

Can you replace just one or two treads instead of the whole staircase?

Yes, individual tread replacement is exactly what we do. You don't need to rebuild the whole staircase to fix a few problem steps.

Can the new treads be stained to match the old ones?

We can get close in species and profile, but matching an aged stain exactly takes some trial and error. We recommend finishing all treads at the same time for the most uniform look.

What if the stringer under a tread is also damaged?

We'll check the stringers while treads are up. Minor damage can be reinforced; badly rotted stringers may need a more involved repair, which we'll discuss before proceeding.

Are the new treads pre-finished?

We install them unfinished unless you specify otherwise. Raw wood takes stain and paint most reliably, so finishing after install usually looks best.

Local context

Stair Tread Replacement across Charleston

Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
