Careful restoration of older or historic staircases, preserving original character while repairing damage.
About our staircase restoration service
Restoration prioritizes keeping original stair details where they can be repaired responsibly. Matching a damaged molding, conserving a turned profile, and retaining a finish patina call for different choices from a modern remodel.
Planning the scope
The condition and availability of matching timber or profiles shape the scope. Some parts may need careful repair while damaged structural elements require replacement or separate design review.
Preparing your project
Photograph distinctive details before any removal and identify which features are important to preserve. Discuss test patches and replacement samples so the final work respects the existing staircase.
Record the original features before work begins
Restoration should start with a record of profiles, joints, finishes, and parts that give the stair its character. Identify whether previous repairs have introduced mismatched wood or altered details. Keeping original material can be worthwhile, but worn connections and damaged supports still require assessment before a decorative treatment is chosen.
Ask how proposed repairs will appear under the final finish. A splice may remain visible with clear stain, while paint can require a different preparation process. Replacement profiles should be compared in scale with the retained rail and newels. Avoid aggressive stripping or sanding before the timber and coating history are understood. Define which features must be preserved and which can be adapted in the written restoration scope.
What to expect
- A review of photos or an in-home visit to measure and assess your stairs.
- Material and finish recommendations that match your floors and style.
- Protection of nearby floors and walls, plus daily cleanup.
