What kind of wood? If it's nice...stain and finish them. Other than that...I gots nu'in!
A quick peek reveals painted over 2xwhatevers for the horizontals and particle board for the verticals. Definitely not nice wood at all. Actually kind of ghetto.
How handy are you? Could you make/install a new set?
Pictures? Easiest is replacing the carpet.
Yuck. Defiantly re-carpet.
Carpet, thick shag, the most putrid split pee green you can find
Hardwood or laminate with stair nose looks real good and is pretty easy to install.
KInda depends on how much the stairs move or squeak. If they are noisy or move quite a bit i would fix that. But if they feel solid i would just lay right over them. Also if the stringers for your stairs are in good shape you could just replace the treads and risers and that would be quick.
That would not be hard to do in Hardwood I do these all the time . If you want you can PM me and i can walk you through it . The treads (the part that you step on ) run about $25 each and the Risers ( the part your toe kicks ) depends on if you want paint grade or stain grade . . You will need a table saw and a slideing chop saw . Like i said send me a PM and i can give you detailed instructions on how to do this .
