DIY Stairs Makeover for Under $200 with Full Cost Breakdown!!

Great video! I wonder what you would do if you have a landing too.

Did you sand the treads before staining them?

times this x10 thanks to biden and prices! thank you FJB

Looks great but the question is will it hold up. All it will take is one unsuspecting crew to carry some furniture up and down those steps and rip multiple of the bull nose off those treads.

Like your job. I don't like the white rise!

Beautiful man

Nice job sir

How has the bull nose held up? I have been curious with all of the weight of stepping in it, if it has held up, come loose, or broken? Thanks

Looks nice but I found that the white paint on the kicks will take a beating and scuff badly.

what miter saw do you use?

The governments response to covid-19, not covid-19 itself.

Do you have to cut it, what happens if i dont cut it and also can you use wood filler and keep exiting wood???

Hi. Just curious as to why didn’t tape up the skirting when you stained the treads? Did you have no issue painting the skirting with the excess stain on it? Going to tackle this job midweek. Yours look awesome!

If my staircase was straight down i could do this but mine goes up with a curve

Under Trump ya. It would be like 300. Today under Biden its probably 2k.

Looks great! give up on Pro mar 200, for trim that will take a beating, Emerald or a different quality paint

AWESOME JOB

Thanks 😊

$200 stairs with $10000 worth equipment. Good job! 😂😂😂

How is the plywood treads with poly holding up after 3yrs of use?

I just loved the combination ❤

Hey curious as to why you used small strips of oak to extend the tread (and routed them) for the nose rather than simply running the router on one side of a slightly-longer tread? Seems like less wood to buy, less to cut, less to glue, and one less seam… but I’m contemplating this project myself, I wonder if that would be a mistake. Nice work!

Very nice work. Thanks for the tips!

Your cuts are so bad! So much caulking! If you had a stair jig you wouldnt need so much caulk! Your stairs have a halo of caulk around them.

Can you please confirm the round over bit you used? 3/4 seems odd.

❤❤

Tell your Doggo they are gorgeous!

What material would I use for the landing area?

3 years ago under 200 now maybe 400

So what is the material you used for the risers? Did you say hard board?

BEAUTIFUL MI AMIGO

Can you tell me the wood you used again and the sizes. Thank you!

WoW… nice.. 😮

Great Job

excellent video thank you

How are these holding up 3 years later? Was 1/4 inch oak plywood durable enough?

$200. HaaaHaaaa😊

Don’t do it this way. The nosing doesn’t need to be cut off. Add to the stair or your tread will be too short. Plywood isn’t flooring, the veneer is too thin. Use flooring! Ugh. Do a test piece of the finish BEFORE applying it to pieces. That way you know what colour process matches! So many problems here. Find other info. This guy is a hobbyist at best.

🤔

$35 for 13 steps of oak. Not really. Oak is like $7 per linear feet. So each step need about 3 feet. 3x13=39 feet x$7 about $250 with tax. Only for the part. 😁

What if you put the risers on first then the tread.

I want to do this

What color did you add to the stair after the first coat of early American?
Thanks

I love these stairs. I wish I could do this. I have only temp stairs after our fire and idk when I'll be able to get stairs

Wow. Your stairs are most beautiful. You’ve done an amazing job. I think I’m going to attempt to do mines. 🤪

One of the nicest things about this job is how few tools you need. A track saw orbital sander and a brad nailer is all you need. And any home oner should have that stuff anyways. Love this.

how is the one coat poly holding up?

It would take me 3 years to do 1 stair
