My uncle moved to our ancestral home a few years back. The house was old, but it was well-maintained. However, the staircase was starting to show its age. The steps were worn and cracked, and the railing was loose. The uncle knew that they needed to renovate the staircase, but they were worried about the staircase construction cost. They had heard stories about staircase renovations costing tens of thousands of rupees.

So, I decided to do some research for them and help them in finding out the average cost to remodel a staircase. I talked to a few contractors too and scheduled some consultations with a few contractors.

One of the contractors quoted the staircase renovation cost of around INR 35,000. My uncle was happy with the price so, he hired the contractor to renovate the staircase.

I visited a rooftop restaurant last month and was totally mesmerised by the lush green view from there. But what I loved the most is the floating staircase. Trust me it looks elegant and classy and I cannot tell you how much it added to the overall look of the area. The restaurant has both rooftop dining available as well as another dining place within the enclosed walls and I am glad that we went to the rooftop using the floating stairs. I started telling my friends that I am definitely going to convince my father to build a similar staircase but had no clue about how much does a floating staircase kit cost until my father told me. Let me tell you the cost he mentioned here and more details.

I had a question about what holds or supports the staircase as it has no such structure visible. Later I realised that a metal stair stringer is supporting it. In fact it varies from design to design, that is it can be a single stringer or even a double. They are usually 3 ½ inches thick but come in several styles and designs. 

What is the average cost of floating staircase?

I could understand that such a beautiful structure isn’t going to come at a lower price. When I asked my father about the

floating staircase cost, he said that it is around Rs 950 per square feet. It is actually quite high if you compare it with the regular staircase. Now for an ordinary wooden staircase, it is about Rs 650 per square feet so there is a gap of Rs 350 per sq ft between the two. 

How much does it cost to renovate a staircase?

Now this question is not easy. We have a wooden staircase installed and a part of the staircase got damaged but since it was not a serious one, the renovation cost was only Rs 5,000. So it will depend how you are going to renovate it, what materials are you planning to use and what things need to be changed. Thus it is better to hire some experts and get an approximate cost for it.

I got to know a lot about the

floating staircase kit and I hope you too have understood

everything about it now.
