Interior Stairs and Railing Refinishing

Do You Have a Beautiful Wood Staircase and Railings In Your Home?
WoodTeks LLC specializes in sanding and refinishing wooden stairs and railings.

Wooden staircases and railings are a great way to give any home or cabin a natural, yet rustic look.  With a staircase receiving heavy foot traffic, scratches and small knicks in the wood are quite common.  The railings are also subjected to the oils from peoples hands grabbing them and will eventually cause the wood to look oily and dark in some places.

WoodTeks LLC is a wood refinishing and restoration contractor based out of North Carolina and serving South Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Virginia.  We specialize in the refinishing and restoration of wooden staircases and wooden railings for homeowners in North Carolina.  We can remove the scuffs and scratches so your hardwood stairs look beautiful once again.

Our Log Home Staining Process

A high-quality staining job requires a detailed and specific process

1. Preparation

Clear the Area: Remove any furniture, rugs, or décor from the vicinity to prevent damage and ensure a clean working space.

Safety Measures: Apply protective coverings to nearby surfaces and floors to guard against spills and drips. Ventilation is also crucial to avoid inhaling fumes from stripping agents and stains.

2. Cleaning

Surface Cleaning: Begin with a thorough cleaning of the staircase and railings to remove dirt, grease, and grime. A professional might use a wood cleaner or a mild detergent solution, ensuring the wood is free of contaminants before proceeding.

3. Stripping Old Finish

Apply Stripper: If the staircase and railings have an existing finish, a professional will apply a chemical stripper to remove it. This step is crucial for ensuring the new finish adheres properly.

Remove Finish: After the stripper has set, the old finish will be scraped off with putty knives or stripping tools, taking care not to damage the wood.

4. Sanding

Sanding the Wood: Once the old finish is removed, sanding smooths the surface and prepares it for the new finish. Professionals typically start with a coarse-grit sandpaper and work their way up to a finer grit for a smooth finish.

Detail Sanding: For intricate areas or detailed railings, hand sanding or a detail sander may be used to ensure even coverage without damaging the wood.

5. Repairing

Fill Gaps and Cracks: Any gaps, cracks, or imperfections in the wood can be filled with wood filler, then sanded smooth once dry. This step ensures a uniform surface for staining.

6. Staining

Applying Stain: A professional will apply the chosen stain with a brush, rag, or sponge, working in sections and following the wood grain. The type of stain and the desired finish will determine the application method and number of coats.

Wiping Excess Stain: After allowing the stain to penetrate the wood for the manufacturer-recommended time, any excess stain is wiped off to prevent a tacky finish.

7. Sealing

Applying Sealant: Once the stain has dried completely, a sealant or topcoat is applied to protect the wood from wear, moisture, and fading. This might be a polyurethane, varnish, or another durable finish suitable for high-traffic areas.

Sanding Between Coats: Light sanding between coats of sealant ensures a smooth, professional finish. Typically, multiple coats are applied for maximum durability, with adequate drying time between each coat.

8. Final Touches

Reassembly and Cleaning: Any tape or protective coverings are removed, and the area is cleaned of any dust or debris from the refinishing process.

Inspection: The final step involves inspecting the staircase and railings to ensure the finish is even, smooth, and free of imperfections.

We recently purchased a log home built in the 80's that was not maintained properly. Jason and his crew replaced logs, media blasted to get rid of old, worn wood, sealed and stained the home. The home was much more efficient this winter and the logs look so refreshed with the new stain. Our home looks as close to new as it could thanks to WoodTeks.

We were looking for someone to strip and stain our log home and we came upon Woodteks. Jason and his crew did a fantastic job. They are very professional. We could not be more pleased with the final outcome. Jason met with us and explained the entire process completely. The logs were stripped and cleaned then our whole house was stained. We had a bad experience once before with a different company's stain crew but Jason's crew did a phenomenal job. No streaks or runs. Very happy that we found them! We would recommend them to anyone who is wanting a professional job and they cleaned up well. We absolutely love the final product.
