Stairs need replacing: 4 renovation tips!
If the staircase in your home is no longer in good condition, replacing it can be quite expensive. Especially if you've just bought a house or are about to buy one, you might want to look for a more affordable alternative. Renovating is often possible. Below are 4 tips.
1. First determine your budget
Renovating a staircase isn't a cheap job. First, decide how much you can or want to spend on the project. This often makes it easier to make further choices afterward, since everything has a price tag. When considering this dilemma, always remember that safety comes first. Ultimately, a more expensive renovation may actually save you money in the long run. Stair renovation is something you should carefully consider.
2. Choose your favorite material
There are many materials available for a staircase, allowing you to customize it to your interior style. Consider a fully wooden staircase, for example, but don't forget a version with carpeting or a stair runner. Each version naturally has a different price. As mentioned above, your budget will naturally play a role in this.
3. Let a professional do the work
Renovating a staircase is simply too much for even a handyman. Staircases also involve structural issues that can only be assessed by an expert. So get it done right the first time and always choose a professional. This way, you won't encounter any further problems later on and you can truly trust your renovated staircase.
4. Make a good plan
If renovations need to take place, they will naturally cause considerable disruption. Choose a good timeframe for the work so you're prepared and can find alternative accommodations if necessary. Discuss the renovation's expected timeframe in advance and allow for any potential delays, ensuring you're always prepared.
