Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a staircase renovation cost?
For a full transformation, including new spindles and newel post, refinished tread and handrail, and refinished/painted risers and stringers for most standard open-one-side staircases start at $3,800, with a free on-site quote so you know the exact price before any work begins. Staircases with extra scope include balconies, curved shelving, nosings, or connecting flooring are quoted separately, and we’ll walk you through everything that applies to your space during your visit.
How long does the remodeling process take?
A standard staircase transformation usually takes 3 to 4 days of work in your home. The timeline depends on whether your stairs require custom templates for a perfect fit or if we can use standard parts. This timeframe covers dust control, prepping your stairs, installation, and finishing. If custom templates are needed for any treads or curved areas, this may take an additional couple of days.
Can my existing handrails be reused?
In about 9 out of 10 projects, we are able to reuse your existing handrail rather than replacing it. During our visit, we check how it can be refinished and stained to match your new treads, since color is usually the main factor. Most of the time, some refinishing is needed anyway, especially when updating spindles, as it leaves minor marks underneath. Our goal is to give you a beautiful, matching staircase while being mindful of your budget.
Will I be able to use my stairs during the renovation?
Yes. We know your home needs to stay functional while we work. In most cases, we finish our work in a way that only restricts movement for hours at a time, not days. We will talk about the timing during our first visit to make sure you have a clear plan for getting around your home while we are there.
How do you manage dust during the project?
We know how important it is to keep your home clean, and we take every precaution to prevent dust from spreading, including cordoning off all areas connected to the workspace. While construction is inherently messy and impossible to make 100% dust-free, we work hard to keep the workspace contained and always leave the area tidy at the end of the day. If a contractor tells you they can eliminate every speck of dust, we believe that is a promise you should take with a pinch of salt.
