Refaced stairs installed bamboo floors
My old stairs were creaky and worn, so they were screwed down and refaced with the bamboo that I was having put down throughout the second floor.
It is an old house, so the floors were very uneven, needing a lot of shimming. Quarter round and baseboards were removed, air leaks sealed around perimeter - all sorts of things that will make this place better to live in corrected as they were discovered - and the floors laid. Painting was done to freshen things up.
Altogether a spectacular job.

This was a challenging job, involving replacement of the floors and trim throughout the second floor of the house, and involved rectifying a lot of previous poor work. Because of the disruption, the client arranged to have the work done while she was away on vacation. We communicated via e-mail, and I sent her photos of progress along with any questions about issues that were uncovered. This sort of arrangement takes a lot of trust between the client and contractor, and I appreciated working with her. The stairs were actually added to the job late in the game. The client had been fretting about what to do with them-- it was too expensive to replace them entirely-- so when I saw I had a little extra time, I suggested we re-face them with the flooring material. P.S. I've been back a couple of years later, and the stairs are still tight with no squeaks.
