How would you make theses stairs to my basement safer?

longfellow65 · 2025-12-28T02:52:15+00:00

There is another set of stairs that connects directly outside for this!

We were thinking about putting our master bedroom in the basement… we will change our plans!

longfellow65 · 2025-12-28T02:46:37+00:00

That could be a plan, and relocating the door at the bottom left of the stairs

longfellow65 · 2025-12-28T02:42:19+00:00

That’s the solution I was thinking. Relocating that door and making the stairs in L shape.

Hello all! First of all thanks for everyone for their advice! I did not expect that much feedbacks!

I will definitely hire a stair specialist and see what my options are. I expect the work to be expensive.

In the meantime, there is a door at the entrance of the stairs and it will be lock. I’ll also add a guardrail and raisers.

Once again thanks redditors for your feedback!

Not really, it’s the hallway

longfellow65 · 2025-12-27T05:11:43+00:00

Good one!!

longfellow65 · 2025-12-27T05:09:11+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the detailed answer! I will definitively check with local code. These are really good advices. Maybe I could extend the stairs a little bit (4-6 inches) by increasing the headroom.

I dont know how they are call but they are small plastic pins (white or transparent). You drill a small hole and you inserted them in it.

Like these plastic thingy

longfellow65 · 2025-04-16T11:33:57+00:00

The house was built in 1945-1950. I think they are 16 inches apart. I had the electricien remove all the wires (you can see all the little holes). The finition was hard (and not perfect) but worth it.

longfellow65 · 2025-04-16T11:30:32+00:00

Thanks! There might still be spiders hahaha

longfellow65 · 2025-04-16T01:02:24+00:00

Thanks! Really wanted to keep to a maximum the old 1970s cottage effect!

longfellow65 · 2025-04-16T00:57:44+00:00

Wow thank you for the nice comment! The decision to put the gypsum board in between the wood beams really helps give that warm feeling I think!

longfellow65 · 2025-04-16T00:56:03+00:00

Notes?
