My brother has a similar staircase and finished it with enginneered
hardwood flooring covering the existing treads and risers. He finished
the edge of the treads with a hardwood bullnose. Looked really nice
but only time will tell how well it holds up.

I have a raised ranch and the stairs are used frequently. About 15 years
ago I had the stairs , landing, and top landing done with WilsonArt
laminate. They look as good today as the day they were installed. My
Mannington engineered wood is five years now and still in great shape. A
couple of scratches in a spot not visible from moving something carelessly
though.
