I used spackle to fill some gaps on my stairs when I laid down hardwood and with time because of natural expansion and contraction and people stepping on the steps, the spackle began to form cracks. I recommend using paintable caulk or wood filler/putty instead. It’s able to flex more easily with the wood and wall.

Great job! While we did our stairs with oak treads, we ended up doing our stair landings like this with 3/4 oak ply. Just ripped it into 6 inch strips and alternated the board grain so it wasn't obvious it was plywood on such a big space. That's been 4 years ago and nothing has worn through yet! 🤞 Keep up the good work!

Excellent video and a very good job - you make it look really easy. I'm prepping to do our basement stairs myself, hence watching these videos for tips and tricks. One small tid-bit to point out (so as to not confuse other DIYers): what you call stringers are actually side skirts. In the case of your stairs, you can't see the stringers as they are beneath the treads and risers and are the 2" X 10" (in most cases ??) zig-zag/tooth shaped parts that hold up the entire weight of a set of stairs. You did an excellent job mixing the stain colours in order to match your existing flooring. I've actually used a bit of basic cheap acrylic paint to tint wood stain in order to achieve the desired colour I needed for wood working projects providing you mix the acrylic paint into water based wood stain. It works really well. Your stairs turned out very well and for a fraction of what it would cost to buy solid hard wood planks. Hopefully mine turn out as nicely as yours did. Great work.

I would suggest using a notched trowel to spread the glue for the 1/4 inch plywood. That will eliminate voids under the plywood and make a stronger tread.

A trowel for construction adhesive? No. It will bond fine. A couple brad nails to hold the tread or riser in place is enough until the adhesive sets. Should be tapping the treads with a rubber mallet and walking on them right away though. No need to wait for it to cure.

The stairs look great. I did mine too by making a jig and heating up vinyl plank flooring to form the bullnose and placed it over the existing bullnose. It was glued down with PL glue and then I used hardboard on the risers just like you did. They turned out awesome and matched exactly with the flooring that was installed in the basement. Love vinyl.

Shit buy a cheap hand saw, Or buy a cheap miter saw and table saw and you’ll have them for ever so essentially lowering that initial cost for equipment every time you use them.

They turned out very nice. The only question/concern that I'd have, is the fact that the front bull nose runs a high risk of shearing off if you were to dolly a large appliance down them. Since there is no grain structure holding the bull nose on... the only thing preventing it from shearing with the vertical load, are a few brads. It would take a little bit longer, but it might make more sense to cut the oak a bit thicker and cut a rabbit joint down the back side of the oak. This way the oak is overlapping the top side of the tread and providing a little more shear strength.
@diamondbracelette
@diamondbracelette 3 жыл бұрын
Good suggestion, although with enough glue and enough pressure from the brads, the glued joint should now be as strong as the grain, no? I'm picturing that the "clamping" pressure via the brads may be the variable there...

Looks pretty good. I know you were going for a budget build on basement stairs, but here's a couple of tips for a more finished look. The existing stringers can be covered with MDF and molding to eliminate all the sanding and filling.The rough treads should be cut back flush with the rough risers so the finished risers sit plumb. A tread jig can be easily be made to get the exact length of each tread and you won't have so much caulk between the finish tread and the stringer. One last thing. Do not use plywood for treads. It will not hold up to years of use. Again, your results look satisfactory but I'd go with higher quality materials especially in a high traffic area. Just a couple of tips from a lifetime finish carpenter, stair and handrail specialist.

Great job! You taught me a bunch about woodworking. I know this was a low cost reno and paint cost can eat a budget, but consider Pro Classic instead of Pro Mar 200, also by Sherwin Williams. It will last longer and shine brighter. Also, Top Gun Flex (Dulux/PPG) or Big Stretch caulking may last longer on stairs, since bodyweight will inevitably cause the wood to flex and the Alex fast dry stuff isn't as durable. Cheers.

saw a good amount of pinholes you didnt putty in. Now what are you going to do about the caulk shrinking on the sides. Caulk will naturally shrink so you are going to end up with gaps on the side.

Did this for a customer 20 years ago and charged $125.00 per step. Included removal of old step tread. Stain and poly treads, paint skirts and risers. The most difficult thing was cutting the step treads. They were not all square from back to front. To get a perfect measurement, a center line for the step must be established on the staircase framingFrom the back of the step to the skirt board, then from the front of the step to the skirt board on both sides of the step treads.Those skirt boards follow the contour of the drywall and framing behind the drywall. Excellent video. Thanks

Great video Komar, I’m sure this helped everyone on how its done especially under 200$ for materials. The 1/4” plywood for the treads was the key in savings. The average staircase like shown usually cost about $1300.00 cad just for the refacing, not staining or painting. Your other option would be a brand new factory built staircase with solid oak treads and maple veneer stringers and risers, supplied installed and finished for about 3100$ cad. Great job they definitely turned out nice!👍🏻

Where are you getting such pricing? I'm in Ontario and a simple straight right-hand exposed staircase, 14-tread 3/4" hardwood capping, with new handrail and spindles, is $8000 (cheapest quote) and full replacement staircase is $11,000, both prices are excluding taxes

People commenting on the tool cost, if you do not have some types of the tools they're using then you should not be working on your house anyways, you can rent them but you dont need all the tools they're using, use your own imagination and use other trim that is available, they're your stairs, do what you want, this video here will save me a whole lot of work, thanks guys for the idea
