Both runs matched
Emmaus split-levels have a main flight plus a lower run — we template and finish both to the same species and tone so they read as one.

Tread replacement swaps carpeted or thin treads for solid hardwood matched to your floor by species. In Emmaus's mid-century split-levels that often means doing both the main flight and the lower run together. We template the stair, build and fit treads in Whitehall, and set them in about a day. Typically from about $3,000, with roughly four weeks of fabrication.

Built for Emmaus
Tread Replacement that fits the homes here.
Emmaus's 1950s–70s split-levels and Cape Cods frequently have oak treads buried under wall-to-wall carpet — and when the carpet comes up after a floor refresh, new matched treads tie the home together. Because split-levels have two visible runs, we do them together for a unified look.

Questions about tread replacement in Emmaus.
How much does stair tread replacement cost in Emmaus?
A standard Emmaus flight starts around $3,000 and rises with tread count and species. For a split-level with two runs we bundle the material order and price them together, which lowers cost versus two separate jobs. That's a range to set expectations, not a quote — we confirm firm after templating.
Can you replace the treads on both runs of my Emmaus split-level at once?
Yes, and we recommend it. When both runs are visible from the same living space, ordering them in the same species in one bundled order gives a cohesive look for less than treating each separately.
Should I refinish or replace the treads in my mid-century Emmaus home?
We assess on site. Original mid-century oak treads are often 1" or thicker and sand beautifully — if they're the matching species and sound, refinishing saves cost. Thin or warped treads, or ones with deep carpet-tack holes, are cleaner to replace.
Can you match new treads to floors I refreshed in my Emmaus home?
Yes. We match the treads to your floor's species so the refreshed floor flows straight into the stair, across both split-level runs.
How long does tread replacement take in an Emmaus home?
About four weeks of shop fabrication after templating, then a single day on site per flight — both split-level runs scheduled in one visit. Treads arrive unfinished, so your finisher can stain and seal them to match your floors.
