Looking for a really inexpensive way to dramatically improve the look of your home? Then check out this new stair remodeling system that allows you to completely transform your carpeted or worn staircase for $1,500.
These genuine hardwood overlays (not veneers) are unique because they go right over the existing stairway, thus eliminating all forms of disruptive and messy demolition and reconstruction. The carpet-to-hardwood system comes in a variety of species, finishes and stains, and can also be custom color matched or left unfinished to allow coordination with home décor. And because there is no need to tear out, cut off or modify existing stair treads, the full upgrade can be completed in 6-8 hours.
“Being a hardwood installer myself, I know firsthand how difficult and costly it was to upgrade carpeted stairs to hardwood,” says StareCasing founder and inventor Jim McCool. “This product is perfect for homeowners who want their stairways to provide the same beauty, elegance and longevity of their hardwood floors without the time-consuming cost and expense of demolishing and reconstructing their staircase.”
The new StareCasing system is comprised of two parts: The StareTread™ and the StareRiser™: The StareTread is a solid hardwood overlay that is designed to create a glove-like fit over an existing wood stair tread. The StareRiser is designed to install over the existing riser of the stair, converting the low-grade lumber riser to finished hardwood. The StareRiser can be pre-finished to match the StareTread or primed for a smooth, paintable surface.
The system will fit prefabricated stairs as well as site-built stair treads, and will even replace hardwood treads that have been rendered unsalvageable. All StareCasing system components are milled of solid hardwood. No plywoods, veneers, laminates or other natural hardwood substitutes are used.
Finishes are factory-applied, eliminating the time, mess and odor of on-site application. The robust thickness and factory-applied protectives and additives ensure an extremely durable product, one that will last well beyond the included 30-year warranty.
