Carpentry and Woodworking - Internet Stair Parts???

I need to order some stair parts and was wondering if anyone has ordered parts off the internet. I have been looking at either stairsupplies.com or stairpartsusa.com. Has anyone ordered any parts from either of these companies? If so what did you think.

Thanks,
Jeremy

I have ordered stair parts from stairsupplies.com several times. I've ordered complete stair rebuild parts, as well as just a few parts.
They have been excellent at customer service. They even caught a discrepency in one of my orders, and saved me hundreds in - what would have been replacement parts, not to mention another three weeks for me to get the right parts, and for the customer to have a completed staircase.

You really need to know what your ordering before you place the order. Go over your list several times before placing the order - because once they start producing your parts, you own them (and are paying for them). Any changes will be additional cost.

Thanks. Just orderd some from stairsupplies.com

My basement stair steps have a rise of 8 1/4" and a run of 10". The riser is pretty high but I don't plan to replace the stringers.

I want to replace the old treads and risers (not glued) to prevent squeeking, and then I plan to have the stairs carpeted.

What is the proper way to install risers and treads?

Do I install risers first (full 8 1/4" riser. 3/4" wide)? Or, do I install the tread first?

I bought 11.5" treads so this will give me a 1.5" nosing (assuming the riser is installed first).

What is an acceptable tread nosing length. Is 1.5" too long? Should I go with a 1" nosing and trim down my treads by .5"?

Thanks!!!!
