In this video I show you guys how I transformed our unfinished basement stairs into stairs that you can be proud of, and all for under $200. This stair makeover project took me 3 days to complete and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Making over stairs like this can be a easy DIY project that anyone can do with basic tools.

Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds ukposts.infoUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.

Your actually wrong. You don’t need that stuff he used. You can borrow like he did, you can have your big hardware store cut it for you, or buy a cheap circular saw one of the many guild systems like the kreg jig or take a ruler and clamp it down and use it as a straight edge. 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. See stupid comments like this just keeps people from doing a project around house from doing them. Learn to Be resourceful, think outside the box, and get off your ass’s and go build something.

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.

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.

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!

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.

@ronlaverdiere 3 роки тому
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.

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

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.

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...

Not me. I have a renovation that has bare stairs right now and I love this. I just need to get a router or whatever so I can do the bull nose. I need that and a proper table saw to achieve all my DIY dreams.

I had this done to my stairs when I installed laminate and although I was skeptical at first, it turned out amazing! My stain was darker and the finish was a higher gloss. It’s beautiful.

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.

The Alex Dynaflex is much, much better than the cheapo Alex caulking. You get what you pay for.

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.

How do you think that nosing detail would hold up over time? Seems like asking an awful lot of some wood glue and pin nails.
@wallace49
@wallace49 3 роки тому
@@barrykennedy8507 Using plywood for treads is a big mistake, and asking the nosing to hold on to it is going to fail. Solid wood treads with the front edge routed round is the way to go.
