Precision Matters on Every Step

Refinishing hardwood stairs requires a completely different level of precision than refinishing open floor spaces.

Each tread and riser must be individually prepared, sanded, and finished while maintaining consistent color, smooth transitions, and a uniform appearance from the first step to the last.

At Floyd's Flooring & Stairs, our stair refinishing process has been refined through years of hands-on experience and incorporates over 50 years of combined hardwood flooring knowledge passed down through respected craftsmen in the industry.

We don't rush the process. Every staircase receives careful attention from preparation through the final coat because lasting beauty begins with proper craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my existing hardwood stairs be refinished?

In many cases, yes. If your stair treads are solid hardwood and structurally sound, refinishing is often an excellent way to restore their appearance without replacing them.

Can you change the stain color?

Absolutely. During the refinishing process, we can often apply a new stain color to better match your home's flooring or updated interior design.

How long does stair refinishing take?

Every staircase is different, but most refinishing projects are completed over several days to allow for proper sanding, finishing, and curing between coats. In some instances, a refinishing process can be completed in as little as two days, while homeowners are able to remain in the residence.

Do I need to leave my home during refinishing?

Not usually. We'll discuss your household's needs during the estimate and recommend the best finish system based on your schedule, desired appearance, and ventilation considerations.
