A homeowner in West Simsbury recently sought out Babbos Handyman Services services for much-needed remedies on their basement stairs. The stair stringers and treads had rotted and needed replacement. After assessing the situation, it became evident that water was intruding into the hatchway area. I suggested that we replace the wooden stringers with galvanized metal stringers — a smart move to prevent any future water-and-wood contact issues at the riser’s ground level. To add an extra layer of durability and insect resistance, I installed pressure-treated 2 x 10 stair treads. Get an estimate today!
