"I found him hard to work with (e.g. doesn't listen, pushy about doing it his way.) I was really hesitant after the estimate but he just kept pushing about it and I didn't have any other options - but I was sorry afterwards. I don't really like it, the quality doesn't seem great - but most important, it's not level. Drives me crazy and looks bad - just three panels and it's not level! Makes me nuts looking at it - feels like I threw my money away."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts
Choosing between staining or painting stairs depends on your desired look and the condition of the wood. Staining enhances the natural wood grain and is more durable for high-traffic areas, making it ideal for high-quality wood and a traditional finish. Painting offers more color flexibility and a modern appearance, which is great for lower-quality wood or matching specific décor, but it can chip and require more maintenance.
There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.
You can install stair railings on concrete steps, but the process requires special tools and fasteners. You’ll need a hammer drill, masonry bits, and concrete anchors to ensure a secure fit. Start by marketing your bracket locations and drilling pilot holes, then use concrete screws or expansion anchors to attach the mounting hardware.
Regular cleaning, polishing, and ensuring no loose fasteners maintain both look and safety.
The short answer is that the cost to build a staircase largely depends on what material they’re made out of and how many you need. Wood stairs cost about $50 to $100 per step for materials alone, while labor costs an additional $100 to $250 per step. The cost increases for more expensive materials such as glass or concrete.
