Stairs Treatment

Stairway Treatment

Renovating an stairway could add considerable value to a house.

Threads and Risers

Replacing carpet or hardwood floor threads for one piece solid threads can be laborious but a very straight forward task if you are well prepare for the project.

Home depot usually carries solid maple threads that come combine in a package with a piece of maple veneer plywood to be install as the raiser. The package sales for less than 40.00 dollars for step.

Others suppliers sell oak for about the same price.

This price is only for pieces approximately 40 inches long, longer threads will be more expensive of course. I have some suppliers that will give us a very good price for custom sizes and woods.

Railings

Railings bring beauty to the stairs.

There are many designs to choose from at the time to replace the balusters.

Newels add beauty and strength to the railings

Often a good refinishing brings back all the charm of an old railing. I often disassemble the railing and bring the pieces to the shop for a good sanding job and spray painting or finishing.

When the task calls for the use of bull noses and floor transitions a well plan design and the use of good measurements will help with the final result.

The installation of a designed wainscoting on wall side of the stairs will add elegance to the stairways and it will replace with its chair rail molding at the top the use of a bad looking hand rail fasten to the wall.

Task complexity : medium
