"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

There are several ways you can finish stairs. If you like the carpeted look, you may choose to install new carpeting for an update. This is often the easiest way to proceed since the stairs' condition and appearance won’t matter as much if the staircase is in good structural shape. 

The condition of the stairs under the carpet can dictate your next move. You can sand, stain, and apply a clear coat if the stairs are hardwood. You can also paint the stairs, try epoxy floor ideas, or install new hardwood treads if the stairs are made with plywood.

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.

The most comfortable height depends on you and your household, but most railings are between 32 inches and 40 inches. To be more granular, disability requirements require railing heights to be between 34 inches and 38 inches high. For this reason—and to remain compliant—many people find these heights perfectly acceptable and stay within these ranges.

While local building codes vary, a handrail is typically required for stairways with three or four or more risers (steps). For staircases with fewer steps, such as two or three, a handrail may not be legally required. However, it is always best to check your local building codes to confirm the specific requirements in your area. Even if not mandated by code, some homeowners install handrails for comfort, insurance purposes, or if someone in the home has mobility challenges.

Wood and metal are the two most common materials used. Breaking it down further, homeowners tend to use a slightly higher grade of wood than they might elsewhere—it isn’t uncommon to see maple, mahogany, redwood, and other luxury woods used. Metal tends to be aluminum or steel due to the fact that you don’t need very protective metal, as the material isn’t being subjected to any weather.
