Has anyone done anything to strengthen their staircases? We had our basement stairs glued by our old contractor. For our nicer staircase going from the parlor level to the upstairs some of the steps are a bit loose and we want to have them tightened. Our new contractor said this could be done with glue and with large screws and bolts that would show on our nice woodwork. Just wondered if anyone has done anything that worked well and didn’t look bad, would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
