Frequently Asked Questions — Stair Recapping & Retreading
What is stair recapping?
Stair recapping involves laying precision-cut 3/4" solid hardwood treads directly over your existing structural stairs, giving the look of brand-new solid stairs.
Can my existing stairs be recapped?
Most sound plywood or pine stair structures can be recapped. We inspect your treads during the free estimate to confirm they are solid enough to cap.
Does recapping fix squeaky stairs?
Yes. As part of the prep we tighten and level the existing treads, which addresses many of the squeaks and creaks in older stairs.
How is recapping different from a full renovation?
Recapping focuses on overlaying solid hardwood caps onto your existing treads and risers. A full renovation may also replace balusters, newel posts, and handrails.
Can the risers be painted white with stained treads?
Yes. Painted white risers paired with stained hardwood tread caps are a popular, classic combination we offer.
