How much does a stair renovation cost?
Would you like to know what a stairs renovation costs? Then it is good to know that the price always depends on your specific situation. There is no standard rate that applies to every staircase. The costs are determined by various factors, such as the number of steps, the type of staircase, the chosen material, and extra options such as lighting or risers.
On average, the cost of a staircase renovation is between €1,500 and €3,500 for a standard staircase with approximately 13 to 15 steps. This is a guideline price. The final investment depends entirely on your wishes and the condition of the current staircase.
Number of steps and type of stairs
The number of steps directly affects the price. The more steps, the more material and labor are required. The shape of the staircase also plays a role. A straight staircase is easier to renovate than a staircase with a turn or a spiral staircase.
In addition, it makes a difference whether you have an open or closed staircase. With an open staircase, usually only the steps are covered. With a closed staircase, the risers are often included as well. That means extra material and installation, which affects the total costs.
Material selection
The chosen material is one of the biggest price determinants in a staircase renovation. For example, you can choose:
- Wood-textured laminate
- PVC with extra wear layer
- Solid wood
- Concrete look or industrial finish
Each material has its own appearance, lifespan, and price range. Luxury materials or an extra-thick top layer require a higher investment, but often also offer greater durability and less maintenance in the long run.

With this option, we use 2 renovator treads. You get a renovator tread on the top of your step and a renovator tread on the bottom of your step. It looks sleek and modern.

We are extremely satisfied with our renovated staircase. From an unpainted newly built staircase to a beautiful oak staircase that is completely silent when walking up and down. Very refined finishes and installed with incredible precision.

We had two staircases renovated by JB Traprenovatie and are very happy with the service. We consistently received clear communication and professional advice. The work was completed on schedule, and the final result is very sleek and exactly what we wanted. It is a bit pricey, but compared to other providers, the value for money is good.

Finishing and details
Besides the basic material, finishing options also play a role in the costs. Think of:
- Non-slip profiles for extra safety
- Stair nosings in a contrasting color
- Trim profiles for a sleek finish
- Transporting stair stringers
Do you want a fully finished staircase without visible joints or gaps? Then that requires extra precision work, which can affect the price.
Risers and side finishing
With a closed staircase, you can choose to renovate the risers as well. This provides a complete and sleek result. You can use the same color as the treads, or juist opt for contrast.
The sides of the stairs, the so-called stair stringers, can also be included. When these are in poor condition or discolored, it is often wise to have them finished at the same time.
Staircase lighting
Stair lighting is becoming increasingly popular and affects the cost of a staircase renovation. Think of LED lighting under each step or subtle spotlights in the side of the stairs. Lighting not only enhances the appearance, but also safety. However, it requires extra installation work and sometimes electrical modifications. That is reflected in the total price.
Pretreatment of the existing stairs
The condition of the current staircase is an important factor. Does the staircase need to be sanded, repaired, or leveled first? Are there damages or creaking noises that need to be resolved? Then pre-treatment is necessary.
When the substrate is not stable or flat, this can affect the quality of the renovation. Proper preparation prevents long-term problems, but sometimes entails additional costs.
How much does a stair renovation cost in your home?
The costs of a staircase renovation are therefore determined by multiple components. Number of steps, choice of material, finishing, lighting, and the condition of the current staircase all play a role.
