Complete or Partial Staircase Remodel
Remodeling your staircase can range from minor updates to a full renovation, depending on which features are worn down and what you want to upgrade. Every part of the staircase can be individually repaired or replaced.
Keeping your stairs in good shape enhances safety, home value, and curb appeal. Below are the main components of staircases you can choose to remodel or repair:
Handrails provide support and safety, but over time become loose, worn, or outdated in style. They can be tightened to restore stability or replaced to better match your home’s interior design.
Newel posts anchor handrails to the wall and bear much of the structural load. If they are loose, cracked, or broken, the entire handrail’s integrity is compromised.
Balusters are the vertical decorative spindles that support the handrail. They play a significant role in the staircase’s style. Popular materials for balusters include iron and wood. When replacing treads, it's a good idea to replace balusters as well to maintain a cohesive design.
The treads are the horizontal steps of the staircase, and the risers are the vertical parts between steps. If they feel wobbly, creak, or show visible damage, replacement is necessary to ensure stability. Replacing treads and risers is the most noticeable and transformative improvement to a staircase.
