Stain and clear coat your stairs to give them long lasting appeal.
From carpet to hardwood stairs.
Hard surfaces are slippery and can easily lead to a fall.
For the actual wood installation an average runs in.
Here was my situation.
Use a foam brush to apply the stain and wipe with a lint free cloth.
Something about the beauty of a nicely stained and painted staircase or the satisfaction of ripping the carpet off the stairs.
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.
In addition should a fall ever occur carpet offers a much softer landing spot than wood flooring which could help reduce the likelihood of injury.
Installation and materials can range as low as 1 000 and as high as 30 000 price depends on several factors.
If you do have hardwood stairs you may want to consider a runner to increase safety.
Typically a motivated installer would take two hours and charge 60 00 per hour.
As a result after removing the carpet the bottom step had a 7 rise and the top step had a 8 5 rise.
It is a good basement insulator.
We loved our remodeled painted and stained wood staircase in our last house see the reveal here and check out all the steps here.
Included are carpet pad and tack strip removal along with preparing the actual substrate that calls for removing the existing rough nosing.
Carpet on the other hand would muffle those high traffic sounds and make for a safer stairway.
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.
If there were existing hardwoods underneath the carpet sand them before re staining.
Carpet works better when it comes to basement flooring.
Once it dries apply two coats of clear coat.
The initial work is the preparation for placing hardwood on the stairs.
Our guest today has a lovely hardwood stair remodel to share with us.
