      \n
    1. Determine if any of the staircase components can be saved<\/strong>Based on the condition and continued functionality of the staircase component, there are many parts of the staircase that could be salvaged during a remodel. The newel posts, tread caps, and handrail are often components of the staircase that don\u2019t need to be completely replaced during a remodel. Instead, focus on replacing the balusters if you are to replace something on the staircase, as they take up most of the visual impact of the staircase in general.<\/li>\n
    2. Improve appearance of existing staircase parts with paints and\/or stains<\/strong>
      \nSimply with an updated shade of paint or for example, painting the balustrades white and staining the newels posts, landing caps and handrail a darker color, you can dramatically makeover the appearance of your entire staircase, without spending an arm and a leg.<\/li>\n

      \n<\/strong>You’d be surprised by the dynamic change that can take place with a little improvement in lighting and the tread features of your staircase.

Staircase companies may have overstock items for a variety of reasons, so if you can find the parts or supplies at discounted price due to overstock, it\u2019s always in your best interest to take advantage of these options.<\/li>\n
    5. \u00a0Be smart and patient with your decisions for your staircase remodel and don\u2019t jump into a quick fix you might later regret
