Can you refinish or reface stairs?

Yes. Both refinishing and refacing are services we offer. Which one suits your staircase depends on its existing condition and the look you are after.

Can stairs be matched to a new floor?

Coordinating stairs with the new flooring is a core part of this service. We review the flooring selection and the existing staircase together so the finished result reads as one project.

Do you work on railings as well as treads?

Yes — railings are part of the same visible composition, so they are considered alongside the stairs.

Stairs & Railings — Refinish or Reface

Stairs are the most visible woodwork in most homes. AJ Hardwood Flooring refinishes and refaces stairs and railings so they coordinate with the flooring around them.

Overview

A new floor can make an untouched staircase look dated overnight. Refinishing works with the existing stair components to renew their appearance, while refacing changes the visible surfaces of the stair so they match the new flooring.

Railings are treated as part of the same composition — the handrail, posts and spindles are what the eye follows from one level to the next, so their appearance is planned alongside the treads and the floor.

What to consider

The existing stair is reviewed first to determine whether refinishing or refacing is the better route.
Stair work is sequenced with the flooring installation so transitions at the top and bottom land cleanly.
Access and use of the staircase during the work is discussed in advance.

Benefits

Stairs that visually match the new flooring rather than clashing with it
Refinish or reface options depending on the existing stair
Railing appearance considered as part of the same project
One team coordinating floors, stairs and trim
