Common Staircase Issues
Multiple issues could arise with your stairs. Sometimes, they may squeak, become loose, or simply require adjustment of the code. Other times, the stairwells fastened on a single side (called open stairs) can start to come off the wall.
To determine the exact source of the problem, we recommend that you begin by visually inspecting the staircase for gaps and performing walking tests to detect any possible movements or find the location of the squeaks. Fortunately, a qualified carpenter can resolve most of these issues easily. On the other hand, be ready to have the plaster or paneling (or the material underneath the stairs) removed to expose the issue.
Slackened balusters
Many times, after the house has aged, a handrail or baluster that was once very sturdy can get loose. To solve this common issue, you will have to tighten them by boring a hole at an angle from one side to the other of each baluster into the handrail. Then, bolt the baluster to tighten up against the rail and restore the sturdiness you are looking for.
How to fix the newel
You can repair a loose newel post by easily bolting small angle brackets to the bottom part of the post on both ends and then fixing them to the staircase.
Changing a tread
To replace your staircase tread, you can start by looking for stock at a lumber yard and trying as much as possible to match the thickness and shape of the tread that needs replacing. Consider using pine when replacing a tread, as it is the ideal type of wood if you need to cover it with a carpet. However, if the tread is to be exposed, we recommend going for oak and then painting it or staining it.
