    Precision round-over nosing

    A tread that's 1/8" off isn't a tread. It's a change order.

    Most tread problems don't show up in the shop. They show up on install day — when the return doesn't land, the nosing profile doesn't match, or the stain reads two shades cool against a floor laid four years ago. Then it's a re-mill, a re-order, and a schedule you no longer control.

    Measured wrong, milled wrong.

    Generic sizes force your crew to cut on site, exposing raw end grain that never matches and ruining factory seal.

    Stain guessed, not matched.

    Ordering "white oak" is not a color. It's a category. Without a physical sign-off match, two batches will look like two different species.

    Finished on the visible faces only.

    Unsealed underside and ends absorb humidity — in Florida, that's how treads cup, warp, and split after the first humid summer.

    We built our process to remove all three.

    Every tread milled to your numbers, finished on all six sides, ready to install on arrival.

    Milled to your exact measurements

    Milled to your exact measurements

    We cut to the rise and run you send us, not to a stock size, so your treads seat flush on the first set, so your crew installs instead of adjusts, so the job closes on the day you told the client it would.

    Stained to match your existing floor

    Stained to match your existing floor

    Send a sample or a photo and we match the stain in-house, so the staircase reads as original to the house instead of an obvious addition.

    Finished on all six sides

    Finished on all six sides

    Faces, edges, ends, and underside are fully sanded and sealed with a 1/8" round-over nosing, so Florida humidity has nowhere to enter, so the treads stay flat for decades instead of cupping in year three.

    Any profile, any thickness

    Standard, Bullnose, Butcher, Cascade, Square, and L- or R-Return in 1" through 6", so the tread matches the architecture you actually drew.

    You send measurements. We handle everything after that.

    01

    Upload a drawing, a photo, or just the rise and run. No CAD file required. If you're unsure how to measure, we walk you through it in five minutes or send someone out.

    02

    We mill and match

    We cut to your dimensions, mill your profile, and match the stain to your flooring sample. You approve the match before we finish the run.

    03

    Delivered install-ready

    Treads arrive finished on all six sides, labeled by position, ready to set. Most staircases install in a single day.

    Total time from you: about fifteen minutes.

    From deposit to delivered in 15 days.

    Day 0
    Specs Approved & Deposit Received

    Dimensions locked in, timber selected from raw stock in our Fort Lauderdale facility.

    Day 10
    Milled, Sanded & Stain Approved

    CNC cut, hand-beveled, and sample sign-off verified before final 6-side clear sealing.

    Day 15
    Delivered to Site, Install-Ready

    Palletized with position labels, delivered directly to your job site in Florida.

    Unfinished treads ship in 10 business days. Stained-to-match ships in 15 business days, because you approve the sample before we finish the run. Both dates are counted from deposit, not from first contact.

    If it doesn't fit, we remake it. No charge, no argument.

    1. The Fit Guarantee

    Mill to the measurements we confirm with you, and if a tread doesn't seat correctly, we remake it at no cost and prioritize it in production.

    2. The Stain Match Guarantee

    You approve the stain sample before we finish the full run. If the delivered treads don't match the sample you signed off on, we refinish them.

    3. 2-Year Warranty

    Warranted against cupping, splitting, and delamination from manufacturing defect. Made in Florida, specifically for Florida humidity.

    You are approving a sample, not gambling on a shipment.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Clear answers on measurement, lead times, trade pricing, and delivery.

    We provide a 1-page printable measurement guide and a 5-minute video walkthrough. If you prefer, send us photos or architectural plans. For trade contractors in South Florida, we can also perform an on-site scan for complex curved or winder flights.

    Yes. Wood oxidizes over time, so ordering off a color chip never works. You send us a 4" offcut or sample of your current flooring, and our in-house master finisher creates a physical sample on the exact species of your treads. We mail or drop off the physical sample for your written sign-off before spraying the full order.

    Unfinished orders are guaranteed in 10 business days from deposit. Custom stained orders are guaranteed in 15 business days.

    Yes. We deliver via our own dedicated trucks across Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, Martin, and Monroe counties. For Central Florida, Tampa Bay, and national orders, we crate and ship via freight carrier with foam corner protectors and moisture barrier wrap.

    A standard 14-step straight staircase in 1" White Oak with square return and standard clear coat typically ranges from $2,650 to $3,500 total timber cost depending on widths. Thick floating 3" or 3.5" block treads range from $4,500 to $7,500.

    Yes. Licensed general contractors, flooring installers, architects, and interior designers qualify for trade discounts starting on their first order, along with net term invoicing upon account approval.

    Absolutely. Visit our Fort Lauderdale showroom at 701 NW 5th Ave Ste 1092, or request our free physical trade sample kit online containing 3/4" cut samples of White Oak, Walnut, Red Oak, and Ash with standard profiles.

    We do both. We manufacture and finish every tread in-house, and our installation crew handles the full staircase setting. Because our treads arrive pre-milled and finished on all six sides, most staircases install in a single day. If you already have a trim carpenter or flooring installer, we supply only — either way, the result is the same.

    If a tread is damaged in transit or mis-milled against approved shop drawings, we rush-manufacture a replacement tread at zero charge within 48 business hours.

    Yes. There are no minimum order quantities at STEPS USA. Whether you need 1 replacement tread for a repair or 120 treads for an apartment complex, we give it the exact same precision milling.
