Part 1 of 4 — Overview
Milled stairs may cost from $2,000 for a hardwood stair with wall rails, to $200,000 on the high end. Most of us are shopping in the $5,000–20,000 range.
When designing your stair and railing plan, there are three basic factors to keep in mind in order to use your budget wisely: shape, style, and material.
If you have the luxury of starting from the general shape of your stair (new construction in the blueprint design stage) consider the shape first. If your space/shape is already defined, it may limit controlling that aspect of your budget, but there are still two aspects to consider.
Which is more important to you: style or material? If are you are dead set on walnut, you may need to look at mixing it with stocked poplar parts for balusters and newels. If you have a style you are set on, such as stainless cable, most of your budget will go to that, and you may consider a simpler oak stair.
