Hello dear homeowners and everyone who wants to become one,
we are at the point in our house construction where we are now starting the interior work. We have concrete stairs and want to equip them with 4 cm high oak steps. The steps will be cut and installed by the carpenter. However, I now have the problem that the construction height on the upper floor and the top floor is different. This difference was apparently not taken into account when building the stairs from the upper floor to the top floor. Thus, I have a height of about 17 cm for the first 15 steps and the top last step has a height of about 29 cm. My builder says that this can be easily corrected by adjusting the height of the upper steps. I just fear that the "low-wage workers from abroad" will now work on the stairs and, as far as they understand the problem at all, are supposed to correct it. What do you think, can such a staircase be corrected by oneself? How should one best proceed? What would a "real" staircase builder charge for such correction work?
Best regards
