Staircase renovation costs

Do you have an existing, older staircase – and would like it to regain its authentic look and beauty? In this case you can opt to renovate your staircase. In this way, you do not need to build a completely new staircase, but you get a new looking staircase at a very reasonable price. Let us have a look at the costs!

How much does the staircase renovation cost?

When carrying out renovation work, you should always bear in mind that there are some decisions you must make. This is of course no different with stairs. For example, you need to choose which material to use. In most cases you will have to choose a staircase made of wood, but you can also choose a steel staircase, or a staircase made of granite. And what about the workmanship?

In any case, you should always remember that the price of the material largely determines the final cost price. Hardwood, for example, is a rather expensive material, which means that a hardwood staircase is automatically more expensive. It is difficult to give a concrete price when it comes to having your staircase renovated, especially because so many different personal decisions affect the price charged. Nevertheless, we have listed a few recommended prices for an average staircase renovation:
