Replacing carpeted stairs with wood stair treads/risers.
Comments (16)Most economical = carpet. After that, a solid finish (wood, cork, vinyl, tile, stone, etc) will require all the extras. Painted stairs will work...with plenty of elbow grease and with the FULL UNDERSTANDING the paint will wear/chip/"patina" inside of a few years. There are ways to lay a runner on the stairs and then trim out the edges of the tread/riser with wood-looking stuff. This will cut the cost in half of what I mention above. The other option is to place the runner and PAINT out the edges....creating a faux-painted-wood look which could be very handsome yet extremely practical. Notice how carpet keeps on coming up again and again? Yah. There's a reason for that. Those are builder grades stairs made for carpet....See MoreIs quarter round the standard for LVP stair joints?
Comments (6)Thank you for the feedback! They have agreed to come back out and cut the LVP pieces for the risers "differently" (aka "correctly"?) to avoid the need for quarter round. I believe the responses here helped show them that I wasn't going to be convinced that "quarter round is the only way to do LVP stairs". They ended up deciding that a gap is not necessary for stairs like ours. Not exactly sure what that means, but I'm glad they decided that. To answer a few of the questions that were asked.. all except for one of the treads were 10" before the quarter round, so now only about 9" with the quarter round. The one that is different, right before the landing, was only 9.5" before, so 8.5" with the quarter round. Way too small! The treads are all LVP though, no wood. We were pretty happy with the look and the nosing that they had for it, and now that they're going to get rid of the quarter round, it should be great!...See MoreShould stair treads match the upstairs flooring or the down stairs?
Comments (5)Definitely match stairs to your main floor. When I'm on my main floor, my basement stairs are quite visible. It would drive me crazy if they didn't match the surroundings (FWIW, once you get downstairs there's a laminate floor that barely matches, and I don't really care because the basement is a casual space)....See MoreLVP on last round stair.
Comments (6)There is no real wood underneath the carpet. 😕 otherwise I would just take carpet out and restrain to match the floor. I don’t want carpet because kids trash it. So I wanted LVP so I don’t worry about clean up. I would keep the stair rail. The contractor would just cut the round part on the last step to be able to put LVP because LVP can’t be made round. 🤷🏻♀️...See Moredan1888
