Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

If the stairs are already covered in carpet, you will need to remove the old carpet and possibly the carpet pad. Any damage to the stairs like cracks, loose boards, or creaky treads may also need to be repaired. You may also want to sand and refinish or paint wood stairs before installing a carpet runner.

The main alternative to a shaftless home elevator is a stair lift. Other types of home elevators may also be an option, but they’re usually more expensive and disruptive than shaftless home elevators. Otherwise, those who find stairs challenging may want to consider moving to a home or apartment with only one floor.

Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris, especially when cutting or drilling. Work gloves are also essential for gripping tools and handling sharp or splintered materials. If you’re working on a second-story deck or near an edge, consider wearing a safety harness. Hearing protection is a smart choice when using power tools, and steel-toe boots can prevent injuries from dropped materials.

If your home already has stairs and you’ll be upgrading or improving them, then stairs can increase home value. However, it depends on whether a potential buyer wants stairs in their home or not. Some buyers may prefer to have everything ground level or may have difficulty climbing stairs, so that feature might deter them from buying.

Pricing specifics depend on where you’re shopping, but treated wood usually tends to be the most inexpensive railing type. However, treated wood may be less durable than some other choices, like aluminum or composite railing. Though saving money upfront is definitely attractive, it’s important to remember that your railing is an investment that will continue to evolve over time. Wood is very high maintenance, so opting for another material to save money on maintenance might be less costly in the long run.
