20. Update Your Staircase
If your staircase creaks every time you set foot on it, consider investing towards a recovery effort. A creaky staircase could indicate loose steps or wobbly railings. If you don’t want to skimp on safety but want your staircase to look its best, consider updating your staircase.
Average Cost: At a national average cost of about $290 to $940, including flooring and railings, this is a small project investment with a potentially big payoff.*
