Need advice on stair remodel. Will this work?
Comments (13)I agree with Patricia and the others. 4K is very low for the amount of work and materials needed to complete the stairs correctly. If a patch is added to fill in where the runner was the 2 woods will take stain differently and never look cohesive. If a cap was added to the tread to resolve the staining issue you will have a much bigger issue with riser heights. A 1/4 inch is enough to trip you up every time on the first and last step causing a huge safety risk. IMO, I would just redoing the runner if your budget won’t allow for a complete replacement....See MoreStair Remodel Advice

Comments (5)widening the upper stairs isn't really an option since that would require extending out the bottom stair and the landing...the front door in the way (not shown). This originally wasn't part of the plan but had to be done due to some concrete footings not being poured exactly per drawing which caused the bottom stairs to have to be offset from the upper stairs. Our current plan is to add some matching handrails around the opening.. but wanted to see if there are other creative ideas....See MoreStaircase remodel—- wood stain color
Comments (1)I think you can do either: match the stairs to your flooring, or keep the stairs light. When we had our new oak staircase and bannister installed, we chose to match the staircase stain to our Italian porcelain wood look tile flooring. We were happy with the outcome. Best of luck on your journey!...See MoreN B
