What We Do
Whether your stairs need a fresh coat, new treads, or a complete transformation — we handle every type of staircase work.
Sanding & Refinishing
Strip old finish, sand smooth, custom stain, and apply 2-3 coats of commercial-grade polyurethane. Restore faded or scratched stairs to like-new.
Stair Recapping
Install new hardwood or vinyl treads and risers over existing structure. Faster and 40-60% cheaper than full replacement — looks identical.
Carpet Removal + Hardwood
Remove old carpet, prep the structure, install new hardwood treads, custom stain, and finish. Complete transformation in 2-3 days.
Railings & Spindles
Modern iron pickets, glass panels, or refreshed wood railings. We coordinate the full staircase look — treads, risers, and railing together.
Our Refinishing Process
Dust-contained sanding, custom staining, and professional-grade finishes — every step handled with care.
Free Assessment
We inspect your stairs, check wood condition, and discuss your vision — stain colour, finish, railing options.
Detailed Quote
Transparent per-step pricing. No surprises — you know exactly what it costs before we start.
Prep & Sand
HEPA-filtered dust-contained sanding. Work area sealed and isolated. Old finish stripped, wood smoothed and prepped.
Stain & Finish
Custom stain colour matched to your floors. 2-3 coats of commercial-grade polyurethane.
