During renovation or even construction projects, it's always best to make a budget before starting anything. However, before you can come up with a budget, you need to know the price of what you'll be building, so as to plan the costs properly.

Find out in this article how to chose the right staircase and how to make your budget.

Several decisions to be made before coming up with a price

One of the first decisions to make when designing a staircase is the choice of materials. Hardwood, floating floor, carpeting or even ceramic immediately come to mind. You can also check our other article Step, riser and interior finish to learn more about the different materials as well as the various prices and benefits of each. The choice of material will have a significant impact on the price of a staircase.

Secondly, the location of the staircase will also have an impact on its price since the choice of material may be different depending on its usefulness and visibility. For example, a staircase in the centre of the house subject to extensive use will require a more high-end and refined material, unlike a basement or attic staircase, which is not visible or even rarely used.

In addition, we mustn't forget the railing, banister and the size of the staircase. Indeed, the number of steps, the complexity and the type of staircase will also have a significant impact on the price. For example, a straight staircase is easier to construct than a spiral or turning staircase.

Setting a budget according to your needs

Now that you have this information, it's time to make the decisions and set a budget based on your needs and financial capabilities. It goes without saying that the budget that you prepare will have an impact on your possibilities and your available choices in terms of materials and types of staircases.

So now you understand that the price of a staircase depends on a great many decisions, which is why it's difficult to give an exact price before you’ve properly evaluated the project. However, it can be said that a staircase can cost between $4,000 and $10,000 on average. Of course, any adjustment or decision can raise or lower the price of the staircase.
