Removing Pine Stair Treads
We had carpeted stairs on our back staircase that are pine treads. We
want to remove them and install Oak treads that will not be carpeted. Are there any tricks to removing the old treads? They seem to be installed with 9 nails and some liquid nails. When removing the treads will the risers be ruined and need replacing as well? Any secrets for installing the new oak treds? We want to make sure there is no squeeking - is that just a matter or screwing the stairs into the runners or are there other tips and tricks for this as well? Any info would be great. thanks. Rick |

Just out of curiousity, have you thought of sanding the pine treads, then stain them to give an oak look? Thats what I did. No matter what kind of stain you put on pine, it isn't going to look like oak. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |
