I think the way of doing that is to remove the whole stair and re-construct by using concrete. then close the bottom of stiarcase by brick or partition to create a store room. This was a "big project" and i guess the cost must be around 10k to 20k depent on material using.

wow...quite big project...i'm afraid that my budget should less than that...i would say RM5k only...

use drywall method...aka partition for the store, close up the staircase riser with matching timber plank, less than 3k i guess smile.gif

hmm...interesting...but i wonder RM3k is it for the whole staircase (U shape as per picture attached) or for one level/slope only...?

I guess you should get the contractor to visit your place to get a proper quote. Else you can just measure up with pictures and the contractor will be able to give you a rough quote.

already give rough figures to 2-3 contractors (who done kitchen cabinet) but they said normally expensive and hard to be done...i don't know, maybe they don't want to do that kind of jobs... hmm.gif ...but still didn't invite them to my house yet, yes...maybe i should..

Do you want to use the existing stairs? If yes probably will need plaster partition or wooden laminate partition. Else demolish the whole stairs and use concrete.

yes i want to remain the existing stairs...

Fatin's staircase looks really nice, i think by removing and doing a new cemented stairs will make it look so common. We don't get much of this type of stairs anymore!

haha...shazzac statement make me feel to think twice about to renovate it... tongue.gif
