You have options when it comes to your new steps.

Pressure-Treated Wood

We provide traditional pressure-treated pine for a classic, cost-effective look. For a sturdier feel, we recommend upgrading to heavy-duty 2x6 lumber, which creates a rock-solid step that won't bow or bounce like thinner boards.

Composite Upgrades

We can install splinter-free composite treads from Trex, TimberTech, Sylvanix, or Fiberon. These provide excellent traction and never need staining.

Why We Replace the Whole Set

Homeowners often ask, “Can’t you just swap out the boards (treads) and leave the supports?”

We advise against this for one big reason: Hidden Costs. The jagged support boards underneath (called stringers) are often just as old as the treads. When we try to pry up the old nailed-down boards, the weak stringers usually crack and break off completely. If we quote you for just treads, we often end up having to stop work and charge you more to fix the broken framing anyways.

To avoid surprise invoices and ensure your safety, we almost always replace the stringers and treads together. It is cleaner, stronger, and usually faster.

Better Accessibility & Flow

Sometimes the original deck builder put the stairs in the wrong spot. If your current stairs only lead to the driveway but you want to access your new fire pit on the other side of the yard, we can help.

Deck Stair Relocation

We can close off the old opening and construct a new staircase on a different side of the deck to better connect your home to the yard.

Common Questions About Stair Replacement

How long does it take to replace deck stairs?

We know you need to let the dog out and get to the backyard. That is why we prioritize speed without sacrificing quality. Most standard stair replacements and other deck repairs are completed in a single day.

Possibly. To make stairs less steep, we have to extend them further out into the yard (the “run”). If you have the space, we can cut new stringers with a gentler rise, making them easier to climb. 

Yes. If your deck is high off the ground, a straight run of stairs can feel dangerous. We can build a mid-way landing (a square platform) to break up the flight and make the descent safer. We can also repair the landing if it has started feeling a little bouncy. It probably needs a simple joist repair.
