Questions about staircase remodel
Comments (15)looks to me that there are wood treads beneath all that carpet... Rip it off, and see how it works for you. Wear shoes, slippers, or nubby socks on wood treads. I have not slipped on ours. But, I vuse at least one handrail, too....See MoreStaircase remodel help
Comments (17)Do you see how your current stairs have the spindles that are attached to a top and bottom rail, and only attached to the stairs in select points? All the metal rails in the example pictures (including the one above) have the spindles going into the stairs directly. It’s pretty time consuming and exacting work. If those rails are off even a little, the stairs won’t pass inspection. Inspectors pass a 4” ball between the rails, and it’s not supposed to go through at any point. Is this going to get/need to be permitted? Get pictures from the installer, and also go see his work in person. I can’t imagine that many spindles (not pre-built in sections) in metal/iron could be that cheap installed individually on site. Something’s not quite matching... with what you think you’re getting vs the actual work he’s quoting. I like what NYCish posted...but my quotes for a much (much!) smaller set of stairs ranged from at least double to triple. But they couldn’t do only two spindles -they would have had to have 3 per stair, to pass inspection. Make sure you are very clear with what you want and clarify what the installer is quoting. He might have you focused on the style of spindles, but not on the style of install...or things have changed and you’re really lucky! Agree with the above posts that say the examples you posted are too ornate....See MoreStair Remodel Advice
Comments (5)I would remove the carpet, paint the hand rails, newel posts and treads black and the risers white to match the balusters. It is a pretty classic look which works with your architectural details that seem more traditional. "Traditional with a twist" in the photos above is what I'd prefer....See MoreCurved stair remodel
Comments (6)Perhaps I'm missing something but it looks like the only differences are the stair, newels and handrail color and paint on the risers and skirt board. Pricing would depend on where you are but I'd guess you're looking at a minimum of $2500.00 and maybe a maximum of $4500.00 just to do these items. A floor refinisher would do the treads and floor, a painter could do the newels, handrails and the painting....See More
