Replace Existing Steps/Risers
At Empire Stairs & Flooring, we make it easy to find the perfect hardwood stairs for your home. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
When Should you Replace Existing Steps?
You should think about replacing existing steps if they are wobbly, cracked, or show significant wear. Safety is a key reason, especially if the steps don’t meet standards or are structurally compromised. Changing the look, complying with codes, or upgrading materials are also good reasons to consider replacement. Regular checks help catch problems early, ensuring the safety and longevity of your steps.
What is the process for replacing existing steps?
Replacing existing steps becomes necessary when the old steps and risers show wear or structural issues. To address this, we start by carefully removing the worn-out elements. Next, we install a new set of solid hardwood steps, providing both durability and an enhanced aesthetic. The use of hardwood ensures a sturdy structure, contributing to the longevity of the steps. Meticulous attention to detail and precision is maintained throughout the process to craft reliable stairs that bring an upgraded look to the space.
How long will it take to finish?
Stair recapping typically requires about 5 days to complete, and during this process, we make sure to conduct a comprehensive clean-up to ensure a neat and tidy result.
