How long are stairs unusable during refinishing?

Depending on the finish and scope, typically one to three days per section. When possible, we work in halves so you're not fully cut off from an upstairs floor.

Can you do contrast treads with painted risers?

Yes — hardwood treads finished dark with white or painted risers is a common Fairfield County request and we handle it end to end.

Stairs that get noticed — for the right reasons.

Who this is for

Homeowners with worn, dated or squeaky staircases who want them to match the rest of their hardwood — or want to modernize with dark treads and painted risers.

Who this isn't for

How we work

The Restore-or-Replace Assessment

Five steps. In your home. No pressure.

01
Tell us about the project
A short conversation about the rooms, the floor and what you're hoping to change. Photos help, but they aren't required.
02
On-site walk-through
We see the floor in person. Every board, every seam, every stain — an in-home visit rather than a quote over the phone.
03
Restore, repair or replace
You get a clear recommendation. If the floor can be saved, we show you how. If replacement makes more sense, we say so.
04
Recommended scope in writing
Scope, sequence, preparation and what to expect on-site — written down before any work is scheduled.
05
Next steps together
We agree on timing and answer the remaining questions before anyone picks up a sander.
