Wondering whats a decent estimate for all pine, 12 riser stairs to basement - material & labor. No rails. thx. 

a couple of 2 x 12 Douglas Fir and a router made these

1. 

Thanks. I have the old stairs falling off and need full replacement.  My day job rates, back pain and laziness may not be conducive to doing this myself :-) 

Not sure about Pine but I paid $75 per stair for installation and $2,000 to sand and stain 15 stairs with 1 landing and banister. I bought Oak runners at HD for $45 each.

Call Jefferson Lumber, they make beautiful staircases.

This.   They made the stairs for my addition but I provided specialty Maple treads from an Amish mill I used to work with when I was in the lumber business.  They will make the entire thing to your spec and have it delivered.   Great work.   

called them. Unfortunately, they are too far for delivery, but they did offer to build if I were to give them spec and pick it up.

free pine stairs-

I went with northern red oak for the basement stairs. Funny but the treads i got from home depot had made in china stickers on them. Soooo. We grew the trees. Sent them to china. They milled them and sent them back to us. Hmmmm. Northern red oak is nj's state tree. Anyway. Got the treads. Sanded them poly'd them. Then my contractor installed them. So i went with oak so they wouldn't get as damaged as a soft wood like pine would.

Thats unfortunate state of affairs.
