A homeowner near Lawrence and Bayview had refinished their main floor to white oak but the original oak staircase was cracked and water-stained from a long-ago pet accident. The stringers underneath were sound.
The scope
Rather than tear out the structural staircase, we installed 3/4 inch solid white oak overlay on treads and risers, matching the main-floor species and finish exactly. Scope was $5,600 within our $4,800-$6,400 range.
Timeline
Four days on site. Day one: measure and shop prep. Days two and three: install overlay and riser trim. Day four: stain, seal and clear-coat.
