Hey guys, so the missus and I are thinking about totally removing our stairway to the 2nd floor and putting in a spiral staircase like this to save a lot of space. We’ve looked into different options online, checked a few videos, and also spoken to a couple professionals who said it’s totally fine to do, but since we’d be doing it ourselves we’d be saving a good amount of money, which is kind of the main reason we’re considering it. We got a few quotes and let’s just say it wasn’t really in our range, so we’re now looking at buying a full staircase kit.

Since we’ve never done anything like this before, I’m just wondering if there’s anything we really need to think about before going for it. I’ve already watched a few install videos and read some general advice, but I know from experience it doesn’t always go how it looks online.
