A staircase sits at eye level and carries strong lines through the center of a home. Dark stain, painted posts or a restrained two-tone treatment can turn dated woodwork into an intentional architectural detail.
Railings are touch surfaces, so the finish needs more than visual polish. Careful cleaning, sanding and a coating selected for repeated handling help the new look hold up.
Because spindles, caps, posts and trim meet at tight angles, clean transitions matter. Honeybear Painting plans the sequence and protects nearby floors and walls before detail work begins.
