JohnMitchell 16 #2 February 10, 2007 For $210, rip 'em out and replace them would be my first thought. Two questions. Is this house for resale or are you going to live there a while? Are those stairs close to the entry where they make an early impression, or are they in a more remote, less impressive part of the house? We just finished tiling the kitchen, 300+ square feet, and replacing the trim. Lot of work, but it looks great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
