Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

If you're looking to update your stairway by replacing your carpet, the cost to change carpet stairs to hardwood stairs is between $75 and $200 per stair if you’re installing brand-new wood flooring. If you already have usable wood underneath your carpets, expect to pay between $100 and $300 to remove the carpet. However, even with existing wood on your staircase, your overall costs will increase if you need to refinish and stain the wood.

The standard distance between deck stair stringers is 12 to 16 inches. However, these numbers vary by building material, so reference the maximum span for the material. For example, some composite materials call for a maximum distance of 10 inches to maintain their structural integrity. 

As a general rule, never leave more than 16 inches of space between your stringers. Deck stairs have higher load-bearing demands than the walking surface of the deck, so it’s important not to overshoot the space between your stair stringers.

Vinyl is generally considered to be the best option for homeowners seeking railings that are both durable and affordable. Vinyl provides protection against the mold and rot that can develop within wood railings. Composite is another budget-friendly option. However, people building high-end decks often prefer the look of glass panels or metal rails.

Spiral staircases can be safe for all ages if designed with features such as code-compliant handrails, non-slip treads, and proper spacing. However, narrow treads and steep angles may pose challenges and a safety hazard for young children or those with mobility issues, so consider safety upgrades or alternative designs if needed.

Regular sealing or staining, non-slip treads, and correcting water pooling help avoid damage. Households prone to extreme weather should prioritize these measures.
