About Us

Precision-Crafted Stair Components

At NW Associates LLC, we manufacture premium stair components in our fully equipped custom wood shop. From rough lumber, we produce custom tread sizes, shapes, textures, and colors—carefully matching grain, stain, and finish to your flooring or wood samples for a consistent, professional result.

The Tru-Product Line

Our signature Tru-Products are engineered for seamless integration:

  • TruNose – Stair Noses

  • TruVents – Floor Vents

  • TruTreads – Stair Treads

Each Tru-Product is made directly from your flooring material, ensuring exceptional consistency in color and texture.

Built on Craftsmanship

We prioritize traditional woodworking methods to achieve clean lines and long-lasting durability. Wherever possible, we avoid exposed steel fasteners, instead using proven joinery techniques and high-quality adhesives. Our lock miter joints provide precise 90-degree connections with enhanced strength and a smooth, seamless appearance.

Our Commitment

We deliver accurately matched, precision-made components that elevate the finish of your project. We work closely with designers and contractors who value exact fit, design continuity, and reliable turnaround times.

Installation Notice

NW Associates LLC does not offer installation services. We focus exclusively on producing high-quality components ready for installation by you or your contractor.

Where We Stand Out

MADE IN OUR SHOP, CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU.

We fabricate every component ourselves, ensuring accuracy from raw lumber to installation-ready parts. All dimensions, profiles, and finishes are tailored to your space and your materials. Whether you need a custom tread, a unique nose return, or a precise finish match, we build it exactly.

FLAWLESS MATCH, FLAWLESS FINISH

Color, grain, sheen, and feel — every detail is considered. Using your actual flooring or wood samples, we create a consistent and cohesive look throughout your project. With your samples in hand, we deliver a cohesive, seamless finish every time.

Our exclusive product line includes TruNose, TruVents, and TruTreads. Every component is crafted directly from your own flooring material to ensure a perfect match in color, grain, and texture. The result is exceptional visual compatibility and a seamless, cohesive finish throughout your project.

THE TRU-PRODUCT LINE

We work closely with designers and contractors who expect precision and consistency in every detail. They rely on our ability to deliver clean design, tight tolerances, and components that fit exactly as intended. With a dependable commitment to quality, we’ve become a trusted partner for professionals who demand the best.
