Transforming a staircase by replacing a traditional carpet runner with wood flooring and stair nosing can bring an elegant and refined look while avoiding the extensive work of demolishing the balusters, newel post, and handrails. In this process, the existing false treads and risers remain intact, smoothly integrating with the newly installed wood flooring and stair treads. The new wood floor treads and risers are custom-fitted to lay flush against the false treads and risers, creating a smooth and cohesive transition that maintains the staircase’s structural integrity. This approach not only enhances the visual appeal of the staircase with rich wood tones but also provides a durable and low-maintenance alternative to carpet. The stair skirt boards are intact to keep it's original stained finish, accentuating the depth and character of the staircase design. The precision installation ensures that each tread and riser is aligned perfectly with the existing framework, preserving the traditional stair layout while achieving a refreshed, traditional aesthetic. By maintaining the false treads and risers, this method minimizes disruption and significantly reduces the cost and complexity associated with a full staircase renovation. The result is a sophisticated staircase upgrade that combines the warmth and beauty of hardwood with the structural efficiency of the existing stair components, delivering a timeless and polished finish.
