Our Stair Refinishing Process
- 1
Assess Treads & Railings
We evaluate tread wear, loose pieces, and whether railings and risers are in scope, plus any safety issues.
- 2
Protect & Prep
Stairwells are protected and we manage access since stairs can't all be closed at once — we plan the sequence with you.
- 3
Sand Treads & Detail
Treads are sanded and edges, nosings, and risers detailed by hand for an even base.
- 4
Stain to Match
We match the stain to your refinished floors so the transition looks intentional and seamless.
- 5
Finish for Durability & Grip
Durable finish coats are applied with attention to slip-resistance and cure, with a plan for safe use during the project.

Stair Refinishing: FAQs
Can we use the stairs during refinishing?
Stairs are tricky because you can't close them entirely. We sequence the work and use fast-cure products where possible so you keep safe access. We'll walk you through the plan.
Can you match stairs to existing floors?
Matching new-stain stairs to floors is exactly what we aim for. Matching to an older, aged floor is harder but we get close and set honest expectations.
Do you refinish railings and newel posts?
We can include handrails, balusters, and newel posts in the scope — they're detailed work, so we quote them separately so you can choose.
Are refinished stairs slippery?
Finish choice and sheen affect grip. We can recommend finishes and options that balance looks with slip-resistance, which matters most on stairs.
