Staircase post and handrail sanding and refinishing
At One Star Flooring, we offer a specialized service for refinishing and beautifying the key elements of your staircase.
Renew the heart of your staircase. Our experts restore the beauty of posts and handrails, ensuring a smooth, polished finish that enhances your home's elegance.
Refined details
Deep restoration
We remove old finishes and imperfections for a fresh, natural look.
Smooth finishing
Each surface is sanded to perfection, highlighting the wood's grain.
Protective coating
High-quality sealants keep your handrails beautiful and safe from wear.
The touch of perfection
Handrails and posts are more than structural — they're tactile design elements. We refinish them with care to create a flawless, touchable surface that feels as good as it looks.
Lasting craftsmanship
Our refinishing process combines durability and aesthetics, preserving the wood's character while strengthening it against daily use.
Every project covers the essentials
- Hand-sanding of newel posts, handrails, and balusters
- Removal of old, worn, or yellowed finishes
- Stain color changes to match newly refinished floors
- Durable protective coatings for high-touch surfaces
- Minor repairs to loose rails and posts
- Pairs perfectly with floor sanding and refinishing
Four steps from first call to final walkthrough
Assess
We check the wood, existing finish, and any loose parts, and agree on the color with you.
Strip & Sand
Old finish comes off and every curve is hand-sanded smooth, with the house protected from dust.
Stain & Seal
Stain and protective coats are applied by hand for an even, durable finish.
Final Touch
We check every rail and post with you and clean up before we leave.
