We did this project over a full weekend and two additional weeks nights following.
Carpet stairs and wood floors.
For 10 to 12 steps this costs 1 080 to 2 700 including carpet removal.
The carpet was old and dirty giving the entry a very dark and dated feel.

We have carpet berber wheat color on the second floor bedrooms and hall.
To start removing carpet costs 75 to 300.
Having carpet on the stairs is infinitely safer than having the stairs covered with hard surface flooring.
Wood is louder than carpet.
Hard surfaces are slippery and can easily lead to a fall.
Also installing carpet on the stairs helped quiet down the sound of trips up and down on the hardwood stairway.
Cleaning wood vs cleaning carpet.
A carpenter might not tackle this part of the job but you can hire a handyman for 60 to 65 an hour.
Even if you prefer hard surfaces such as hardwood or laminate carpet on the stairs is still a good idea even if it is in the form of a runner on the stairs.

Replace carpeted stairs with wood cost.
Our main goal was to rip off the carpet see what wood was underneath and.
Once the carpet is gone you ll pay 100 to 200 per step.
Hardwood stairs are easy to clean and maintain with a broom and a mop.
Carpeted stairs require regular vacuuming and an occasional cleaning to keep them in top shape.
After trying to live with the hardwood stairway we decided to just continued that carpet down the steps.
