Stair tread and riser replacement in Roswell, GA
Tread and riser replacement removes worn, damaged or construction-grade treads and risers and installs new ones on the existing stringers. It is the usual path when the wood surface cannot be refinished.

Stair tread and riser replacement referrals are available in these launch areas, subject to address confirmation:
Scope
Typically included
- Removing old treads and risers
- Installing new solid or capped treads and new risers
- Painted, stained or matching risers
- Return nosings on open-sided stairs where applicable
Not included
- Stringer or framing replacement without a structural assessment
- Changing the rise or run of the stairs
Structural and code-related questions (stringers, framing, rise and run, guard height, baluster spacing) need assessment by an appropriately qualified contractor. This site does not give code rulings.
Material and condition considerations
Solid treads versus caps
Solid treads replace the old tread fully. Caps fit over trimmed existing treads. Each has tradeoffs in height change, stability and labor.
Consistent step height
Changing tread thickness can change step heights, especially at the top and bottom. A contractor checks that the finished steps stay consistent.
Open sides and returns
Open-sided stairs show the tread ends, which need finished returns. This adds detail work compared with stairs enclosed between walls.
What affects the estimate
This site does not publish prices. Contractors estimate after reviewing your stairs. These are the factors that usually move the number:
- Number of treads and risers
- Solid tread versus cap approach
- Wood species and grade
- Open-sided ends, returns and bullnose steps
- Riser material and paint or stain
How to prepare
- Count treads and note any wider bottom step
- Photograph each side of the stairs, especially open ends
- Note any squeaks or loose steps
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to replace risers when I replace treads?
Not always. Risers can sometimes be kept and painted. Damaged or mismatched risers are usually replaced at the same time.
Will new treads fix squeaky stairs?
Often, because the contractor re-fastens and glues as treads are installed. Squeaks from deeper structure may need separate repair.
