Installing hardwood flooring on stairs you can face with open sided staircase.
A lot goes in to installing hardwood on stairs.
I didn t understand how to install handrails and stair spindles so i hired a professional to coach me through it.
Fitting flooring around stair rail spindles we are getting some hardwood flooring installed in parts of the house we are moving to.
In most home improvement projects the skeleton of your stairs is already built but the surface parts the treads and risers might need replacing.
I know my diy limits and installing 2800 feet of new hardwood flooring was definitely above my pay grade we didn t want carpet anywhere so we installed hardwood floors throughout the house upstairs downstairs and on the stairs themselves.
However if spindles are attached to the risers extra time and effort is involved when placing the laminate.
Here is a step by step guide on how to complete this project successfully.
Pre drill the landing and treads for the balusters using a special stair bit that drills the hole and then creates a thread to accept the baluster bolts.
I figured that the new floors meant it was time to finally pull the trigger on the staircase.
To prepare the balusters drill out the center and insert the baluster bolts in the bottom.
