We tore down our old staircase walls and carpet, and built new Risers, Threads and even Railing. See all the steps we took in this DIY Staircase Makeover to transforming our old staircase into an entryway statement piece.

Sorry good but not a pro !! Your not allowed to have horizontal railings and is a Huge code violation

[@russmartin4189]

So he says he put down a welders blanket to protect the stairs, then we see molten material bouncing all over them and no blanket. I guess the brown and black marks complimented the angled grooves in the MDF.

[@Pandash1]

If you can do the stairs yourself, you can always order the railings from the web.

[@Noviosity]

that looks so good, the change to have minimalist railings instead of those white wall rails helped opened up the front door space...cause it previously seemed very cluttered and old. The simple details for the stairs is brilliant! thought it was tiles at the beginning.

[@kiennguyenthe9898]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@WreckedGTO]

Amazing work. Great step by step process. People don’t realize that they don’t have to do the exact same railing as you did with a welder but everything else is really the hardest and most time consuming part of remodeling the stairs. You can also get a similar look (but not exact) with wood for the railing.

@@JayGreyhood not about strength unfortunately. They're considered "climbable". Kids were getting hurt and dying because they would fall off a flight of stairs.

Just take the glass off after the inspection (;
