We loved our remodeled painted and stained wood staircase in our last house see the reveal here and check out all the steps here.
Hardwood to carpet stairs.
Follow the instructions on dry time.
If there were existing hardwoods underneath the carpet sand them before re staining.
Installation and materials can range as low as 1 000 and as high as 30 000 price depends on several factors.
The previous owner had installed tile near the doorway entry bottom of the stairs and 3 4 thick hardwood in the passageway at the top of the stairs.
What s it like to live with hardwood stairs.
It used to take us forever to vacuum the carpet on each tread and now we can pull out our microfibre dust mop or dyson stick vacuum and have it done in a minute.
Functional builder grade stairs stairs that exist only to move people from point a to point b with zero concern for aesthetics can be improved with carpeting it is difficult to fix unattractive stairs because they do not lend themselves to painting carpet works wonders on stairs like this.
As a result after removing the carpet the bottom step had a 7 rise and the top step had a 8 5 rise.
Once it dries apply two coats of clear coat.
Use a foam brush to apply the stain and wipe with a lint free cloth.
One of the best parts about hardwood stairs is how quickly they can be cleaned.
Hardwood stairs average 100 to 200 per step including labor a flight of stairs is 10 to 12 steps and would cost 1 000 to 2 400.
Here was my situation.
Stain and clear coat your stairs to give them long lasting appeal.
