FAQs
Common questions about this service.

We refinish wood treads. If carpet is present, we remove it first, refinish the wood, then you can reinstall carpet or leave wood exposed.
How long until I can use the stairs?
Light foot traffic after 24–48 hours; full cure typically 3–5 days. We give specific guidance for your finish.
