Hardwood Stair Installation in Tonawanda, NY
Stairs are the first thing people see when they walk into a Buffalo-area home, and they take more punishment than any other surface. Three generations of our family have done custom staircase work, and Madison Floor & Bath can build or renew yours to feel solid underfoot and match the rest of your floors.
Whether the stairs are covered in carpet or the original wood is worn, we can look at the structure, the treads, and the style, and recommend a plan. Most homeowners start with an in-home estimate.
Solid vs. engineered hardwood treads - which to pick
Solid wood treads are a classic choice, and they can be refinished later. Engineered options can make sense when you are matching an engineered floor or working over a slab. Our team will explain the pros and cons for your particular staircase.
If your main floor is hardwood, the stairs usually look best when the species and stain agree. See hardwood flooring for the full range.
- Oak, maple, hickory, and walnut treads
- Stains matched to your floor, with samples to test
- Open sides, boxed stairs, and custom nosings
- Square nosings, floating-look steps, and other custom details

What the installation process looks like
Every staircase is different, so we plan the job around it. First the old carpet or treads come out and we check the framing underneath. Next come the new treads, risers, and nosings, fitted carefully so they stay quiet. Finally comes the finish. We will explain the schedule before we start, so you know when the stairs are usable.
Pairing your stairs with the rest of your floor
Most people want stairs that look like part of the same house. We aim for stain and sheen that agree with your floors, and we can match to existing wood or to a new engineered hardwood floor. If you prefer contrast, such as dark treads with painted risers, we can test it on a sample first. If you would rather soften the staircase, compare carpet stairs.
Hardwood stair pricing in Tonawanda, NY
Typical 2026 Western New York prices, per stair, with materials and labor. Most homes have around 13 to 16 steps, but each staircase is custom.
| Option | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Red oak treads and risers, clear finish | $190 - $260 per stair | A popular, classic option |
| White oak or maple treads, stained | $220 - $300 per stair | Matched to your floor |
| Engineered hardwood treads | $200 - $275 per stair | Good over slabs |
| Walnut or hickory treads | $260 - $360 per stair | Premium species |
Final pricing depends on stair count, framing condition, stain, and style. We will quote the whole job after seeing your staircase. See financing for payment options.
Hardwood Stairs - frequently asked questions
Yes. We remove the carpet, pad, and fasteners and inspect the treads. If they are sound, we may build on them; if not, we replace them as part of the job.
It depends on the staircase, the stain, and the finish. Most jobs take several days, and we will give you a clear schedule, including when you can use the stairs again.
That is usually the goal. We test stain samples on the same species so you can see the real color before we commit. Our neighbors in Williamsville and Clarence often ask for this.
Smooth wood can be slick in socks. We can choose a lower-sheen finish, and if you have kids, pets, or older relatives, we can talk through traction options or a runner. Read more about carpet stairs.
