Michelle felt like she could do it herself if she just had a little bit of guidance, so she got in touch with her sister, Hometalk DIYer Alicia W., and hired her to come to her home, walk her through what needed to be done and tackle the project together with her.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I tore out the stairs carpeting to discover partleboard not wood any suggestion other than recarpeting?
What if you take off the carpeting and find concrete?
My stairs make loud squeaking sounds. I was told if I replace the stairs, they might still squeak, is there any way around the squeaking?
