Questions homeowners here ask.
For the full breakdown of this service, see the Staircase & Railing Refinishing page.
Can you refinish a stained or older railing?
Possibly. The existing finish, material, and condition are reviewed to determine the right preparation and coating system — hand oils and older coatings affect what will hold up.
Can we still use the stairs during the project?
It depends on which components are being coated, drying times, and whether another safe route exists. Access is discussed before the work begins.
