I take it
the 9" step is the bottom step?
of course it is............................


No! 9" is the TOP step! Very awkward/dangerous to navigate.

remove and rebuild them.
it's not worth the time to cut and grind.


That's what I want -- to remove and rebuild, pref. with wood.
I was never suggesting "cut and grind".

My problem is locating a contractor.
