Staircases suffer from various issues that require professional attention. Structural damage appears as wobbling treads or loose railings that create unsafe conditions.

We see worn finishes where the protective coating has been stripped away by foot traffic. This leaves the wood vulnerable to further damage.

Squeaky stairs result from loose components or subflooring issues. These noises signal potential structural problems that need fixing.
Broken balusters or damaged handrails compromise safety and violate building codes. These elements need prompt replacement to prevent accidents.
Water damage causes wood to warp, swell, or rot over time. This requires immediate attention to prevent spread to surrounding structures.

Watch for visible wear patterns in the center of treads where foot traffic is heaviest. This uneven wear can create tripping hazards and indicates it's time for refinishing or replacement.

Creaking or squeaking sounds when using the stairs signal loose connections between components. These noises typically worsen over time if not addressed.
Wobbling handrails or balusters pose immediate safety concerns. If you can move these elements with light pressure, they need repair right away.
Cracks in wooden components or gaps between treads and risers indicate structural shifting. These small problems can quickly become major repair jobs if ignored.
Stains or discoloration often point to water damage or past leaks that may have compromised wood integrity beneath the surface.

Treads and risers are the most visible and heavily used components of any staircase. Treads—the horizontal surfaces you step on—often show wear first, especially in high-traffic homes. We offer complete tread replacement using matching hardwoods or complementary materials that integrate seamlessly with your existing staircase.

Our repair specialists can reinforce weakened treads without full replacement when possible, saving you money while ensuring safety.

Risers, the vertical faces between treads, may need attention when they become detached or damaged. We can replace damaged risers or refinish them to match newly installed treads. For homes with carpet-covered stairs, we also offer professional removal and replacement services.

Handrails provide essential support and safety for stair users. Loose handrails create immediate safety hazards that require prompt attention. Our technicians specialize in handrail repair and reinstallation, ensuring proper anchoring to wall studs or posts.

Balusters (sometimes called spindles) provide both decorative elements and crucial safety barriers. When balusters become loose, cracked, or missing, we can perform individual replacements that match your existing design perfectly.

For outdated stair systems, we offer complete handrail and baluster replacement packages. These updates can dramatically transform your staircase's appearance while bringing it up to current building codes. We work with various materials including wood, metal, and glass to create the perfect look for your home.

The structural integrity of your staircase depends on properly functioning supports and stringers. Stringers—the diagonal supports that hold treads and risers—can develop cracks or separation over time.

Our specialists evaluate stringer damage to determine whether repair or replacement is needed. Minor cracks can often be reinforced, while major structural issues may require complete stringer replacement.

Squeaky stairs typically indicate movement in the support structure. We use specialized techniques to eliminate squeaks without visible alterations to your staircase. This process might include reinforcing connections between treads and stringers or adding additional support blocks.

In older homes, we often find hidden structural issues during routine repairs. Our team is equipped to address these unexpected challenges, providing comprehensive solutions that restore both appearance and structural integrity.

We strengthen weakened staircases through targeted reinforcement methods that increase stability and longevity. When your stairs creak, wobble, or show signs of structural weakness, our team identifies the root causes rather than just treating symptoms. Common reinforcement techniques include:

Support beam strengthening using additional brackets or sister joists
Tread-to-stringer connection repair with construction adhesive and screws
Newel post reinforcement for improved stability

For floating stairs, we use specialized hardware to enhance the anchoring system while maintaining the aesthetic appeal. Our reinforcement solutions specifically address high-traffic areas that experience the most stress.

We've developed expertise in addressing the challenges of spiral staircases, custom designs, and historic staircases that require period-appropriate techniques.

For spiral stairs, we carefully address the central column stability and individual tread connections. Loose treads are secured using specialized fasteners that won't compromise the design.

Curved staircases often require custom-fabricated parts that match the original craftsmanship. We create these components in our shop to ensure perfect integration with your existing structure.

Historic staircase repairs balance structural improvements with preservation of original features. We source matching materials and use traditional joinery techniques when appropriate to maintain authenticity.
