Before and After Photos

The Challenge / Problem

The staircase had multiple issues that needed to be corrected before repainting. Several spindles were damaged, existing paint needed to be scraped and redone, and previous floor work had left each step looking messy. The customer needed a team that could restore the staircase properly, repair minor damage, and deliver a polished result on a tight schedule.

The Solution / Approach

To restore the staircase and create a smooth, consistent finish, we followed a prep-forward process designed for adhesion, durability, and clean detail work.

Staircase Painting Scope of Work:

  • Protect surrounding areas with drop cloths, plastic, paper, and tape
  • Sand, scrape, and clean all surfaces
  • Apply wood filler and caulk for minor repairs on 3 spindles
  • Apply 1 coat of primer and spot prime as needed
  • Apply 2 coats to 14 risers and 2 stringers
  • Apply 1 coat to all spindles

Results / Outcome

HBP restored the staircase as a true centerpiece of the home by correcting previous damage and delivering a refreshed, like-new appearance. The project stayed affordable, followed the promised timeline, and was completed in time for the family’s desired completion date. The homeowners were confident in the process, impressed with our time management, and excited to host their upcoming holiday gathering. They also shared that they planned to leave a great review and expect to reach out again soon for additional work.
