Refreshing Your Staircase
A staircase is often the first thing you see when you walk into a home. Whether you're after a small update or a full transformation, the right choice depends on your style, budget, and the condition of your existing stairs.
Design Options
Spindles and Posts
Classic turned spindles and newel posts never go out of style, bringing a traditional feel to your home. For a more contemporary look, square spindles or twisted designs offer clean, modern lines.
Material Choices
You might opt for wood throughout, or mix in different materials. White primed pine, stained pine, or solid oak are all popular choices depending on your budget and desired look. Glass panels create an open, airy feel, while metal spindles add a striking modern touch.
Practical Considerations
Squeaky Treads
If your stairs squeak, don't panic. It doesn't always mean they need replacing. As long as there's access to the treads and risers (and no carpet in the way), it's often possible to screw them together and reduce or eliminate the squeaks.
Refresh or Replace?
Sometimes a staircase can be transformed with new spindles, handrails, or cladding. Other times, if the structure is worn out or beyond repair, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a completely new staircase. We can help you work out which option makes the most sense for your situation.
