Carpeted stairs want to change to Oak stairs
I would like remove the carpeting from my staircase and install oak treads and risers. My question is do I need to tear out the treads and risers or can I trim off the overhang on the treads, install new risers over the old ones and install the new oak treads over the existing ones. Also I have see a carpet runnner going up the center of the some oak staircases. Is there a way to only put the oak on the outer edges of the steps and have a carpet section in the center of the stairs. I thought this may make it a little less expensive (oak treads and risers). If anyone has any info or has done this I would really like some info on it. Thanks
