Billy S says,  We were originally going to have a vinyl floor in our addition, but have decided to go with 3/4″ hardwood, the stairs have already been installed & the change in flooring means that the first step will now be 3/4″ shorter than the rest of the steps. The contractor has said that either we can live with it or pay to have the stairs torn out & re-framed. Please tell me there is another option.

I think you will be glad to hear this because there is a relatively simple fix for this problem. Click Here
