The service
What to expect
A staircase connects your spaces and creates a lasting first impression. Brush Strokes and Beyond Painting refreshes suitable stair surfaces with coordinated painted and stained finishes. We review the wood, existing coatings, wear and access needs before recommending a scope that fits the look you want and the way the staircase is used.

Questions we hear
Stair Painting & Refinishing questions
Can you combine painted risers with stained treads?
Yes, where the materials and existing finishes are suitable. We can review that combination and coordinated railing finishes when discussing your project.
Do you paint railings and balusters?
Yes. Include handrails, balusters, newel posts and surrounding trim in your request so they can be considered in the scope.
Will I be able to use the stairs during the work?
Access depends on the preparation and coating schedule. We discuss a practical access plan before starting and confirm when treated surfaces can be used again.
Do you repair or rebuild staircases?
This service focuses on painting and refinishing. Any minor preparation repairs are discussed separately; structural stair repairs and rebuilding require a separate assessment.
