Templated to your stringers
We template each Allentown tread individually — older West End stairs are rarely uniform — so every board sits tight with no gaps at the skirt.

Built for Allentown
Tread Replacement that fits the homes here.
When Allentown homeowners refinish or replace floors — common in the West End and South Side as 1950s–70s homes turn over — the carpeted builder stair suddenly looks wrong against the new wood. New treads matched to the floor species fix that without touching the structural stringers. Our Center Valley remodel shows the carpet-to-hardwood jump cleanly.
Tread replacement — full service detailWhat we do here
Tread Replacement for Allentownhomes — what's involved.
Matched to your floor by species
Red oak, white oak, maple, or walnut, matched to your floor's species so the stair reads continuous with the room it lands in.
Built in Whitehall
Treads are built and sanded at our shop, not on your stairs — no dust through the West End house. Risers stay; treads arrive unfinished.
Set in about a day
Once treads are built (~4 weeks), on-site install is a single day for a standard flight. You're back on the stair that evening.

Tread Replacement in Allentown — your questions, answered.
How much does stair tread replacement cost in Allentown?
A standard Allentown flight starts around $3,000 and rises with tread count, species, and whether risers and the skirt are included. Matching an exotic or wide-plank floor species adds material cost. That's a range to set expectations, not a quote — we confirm firm after templating your specific stair.
Can you match new treads to the floor I just put in my Allentown home?
Yes — that's the most common reason West End and South Side homeowners call us. We match the treads to your floor's species so the stair and floor read as one. If the species matches, refinishing your existing treads can be an option; if not, new treads are the cleaner call.
Do I have to replace the whole staircase, or just the treads?
Just the treads, in most cases. If your stringers and framing are sound — typical even in older Allentown stairs — we replace only the treads, leaving the risers and structure in place. That keeps cost and disruption down.
How long does tread replacement take in an Allentown home?
About four weeks of shop fabrication after we template, then a single day on site to set a standard flight. Treads are delivered unfinished and finished to suit, so there's no multi-day staining marathon in your home.
Should I refinish my Allentown treads instead of replacing them?
If your existing treads are the matching species, thick (1"+), uncupped, and not chewed up by old carpet tack strips, refinishing is the cheaper, right call and we'll tell you so. If the species doesn't match your new floor, or the treads are thin, warped, or deeply gouged, new treads are cleaner. We assess on site before you spend.
