Staircases are often overlooked when it comes to home renovations, but they can be a focal point that adds charm and elegance to any home. If you’re looking to upgrade your stairs without a complete overhaul, a DIY staircase makeover is the perfect solution. By using high quality, easy to use stair parts, installing a staircase can be a seamless process for a DIYer or professional contractor.
Step 1: Planning Your Staircase Makeover
Before you start, take the time to plan your project. Consider the style you want to achieve, whether it’s a classic, modern, or rustic look. Take measurements of your staircase to ensure you order the right parts. Finished Inspirations from ECMD features a variety of styles and finishes, so you’re sure to find the perfect match for your home.
Step 2: Removing Old Parts
Begin by carefully removing the old stair parts. This may include balusters, handrails, and newel posts. Use a pry bar and hammer for this step, being cautious not to damage the surrounding areas. Once removed, clean the surfaces to prepare for the new installation.
Step 3: Installing New Balusters
One of the simplest ways to update your staircase is by replacing the balusters. Crown Heritage offers a wide range of baluster styles, from traditional wooden designs to sleek, modern metal options. Secure the new balusters in place, ensuring they are evenly spaced and properly aligned.
Step 4: Updating the Handrail
The handrail is another crucial element of your staircase’s design. Choose a handrail that works with your new balusters, fits the overall aesthetic of your home, and feels comfortable in your hand. Attach the handrail to the wall using handrail brackets or secure handrail to the newel post.
Step 5: Refinishing or Replacing Treads and Risers
If your stair treads and risers are worn or outdated, consider refinishing or replacing them. Sand down wooden treads and apply a fresh coat of stain or paint. For a more dramatic change, replace the treads and risers with new materials that match your chosen style.
Step 6: Adding the Finishing Touches
Finally, add any finishing touches to complete your staircase makeover. This might include painting, staining, or adding decorative trims.
