It does not sound a good idea to remove and replace the balusters and handrail as this is likely to be very difficult, depending on the construction, and there is likely to be damage. If at all possible it would be best to stain with everything in place.
Nevertheless, if dismantling is the only option then the accompanying web link provides details of construction of some older stairs. This may give sufficient information to determine how to proceed with dismantling and reassembly.
The quotes that I have seen tend to run around $25.00 per baluster for a professional to remove your existing baluster and replace it with a metal one.

It really depends on many factors. Say for example you want to replace an exterior wooden stair such as one on a deck. Lets assume it is 8 or 9 feet high. Assuming that you are not going to deal with pouring a concrete pad for the foundation of it, you are probably looking at about $2000 or maybe $3000. Now lets assume that you want to replace a staircase inside a home. Again many factors shape the total cost. If is is a simple stair such as one that is going to be covered with carpet and instead of balusters or spindles a "pony wall" with a cap will be used instead o a handrail you can expect a similar cost as that of the previous example on a deck. How about if you want to go fancy? Maybe a "post to post" or "Over the post" railing configuration, maybe also you want an "Open stringer" to show off beautiful miters at the union of "risers" and "stringer", so as to show off the beauty of hardwood "bull nose" treads. Obviously here you are talking about more expense. Maybe around 6K. Get a reputable "stair builder", ask for references and you should be ok. If you are thinking about doing it yourself, Don't. You will be better off trowing your money away (if you are not skilled enough). At least you wont have to rip it out.
