Staircases endure a lot of foot traffic, which means they can wear out and lose their original appeal over time.

Refinishing your staircase can restore that charm, protect the wood from further damage, and create a focal point that elevates your entire home's interior design.

As an independent contractor, we focus on delivering personalized attention to each project, ensuring the work receives the time and care it needs.

We are committed to punctuality, honesty, and maintaining exceptional attention to detail throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to the final touches.

Making your staircase a feature of your home

A well-designed and maintained staircase can enhance your home's overall aesthetic and create a lasting impression.

Although often overlooked during interior painting, the staircase is a central feature of your home that endures high foot traffic every day and presents a perfect opportunity to showcase creativity and add a trendy, unique touch to your home's design.

How to decide between painting, staining, and refinishing

Painting

Painting provides a complete color change to your staircase.

It's ideal if you want a fresh and modern look, or if you wish to match the staircase to your interior color scheme.

Painting can cover imperfections and give your staircase a uniform appearance.

It also allows for greater customization, letting you easily change the look of your staircase to match your evolving tastes.

Whether you want a crisp, clean white to brighten up your home or a bold color to make a statement, our painting services can cater to your needs.

Staining

Staining offers a more rustic and traditional appearance, perfect for highlighting the character of wooden stairs.

Unlike painting, it allows the wood's unique characteristics to shine through, adding warmth and a timeless feel to your home.

It's a great choice if you love the natural beauty of wood and want to emphasize its organic features.

Our staining services bring out the rich textures and grain patterns of your wooden staircase, giving it a polished, elegant appearance.

Refinishing

Refinishing focuses on restoring the original condition of your staircase.

It's best for older staircases that have surface damage, such as scratches or fading.

Our refinishing services involve sanding down the existing finish to remove imperfections, followed by the application of new finishes that breathe life back into the wood.

This approach is ideal for preserving the staircase's original charm while making it look new again.

In summary

Painting: Choose this for a complete color overhaul and a modern, clean appearance.

Staining: Opt for a more natural look that preserves the grain and highlights the wood.

Refinishing: It's the best choice when your staircase shows signs of wear, such as scratches, scuffs, or fading.

Our services

From enhancing the natural beauty of wood with staining to adding bold colors with paint, our staircase services are here to help you achieve your design dreams.

Painting

Our painting services are perfect for transforming the entire staircase, including the treads, risers, railings, and handrails.

We use high-quality paints that provide both beauty and durability, ensuring a smooth, even finish that will last for years.

Special attention is given to railings and banisters, as they are the focal point of many staircases, adding both aesthetic and functional value.

Staining

Our staining services are designed to enhance the natural beauty of your staircase's wood.

We carefully prepare the surface, apply high-quality stains, and finish with a protective coating to ensure a long-lasting result.

Staining is an ideal option for preserving the original character of wooden staircases, highlighting the grain, and giving risers and steps a polished, sophisticated look.

Refinishing

Refinishing, including capping or recapping worn-out treads, is the ideal solution for staircases that have seen better days.

Our refinishing process involves sanding down the existing surface to remove any imperfections, followed by the application of a new finish that restores the staircase's original beauty.

This not only revives the staircase but also provides protection against further wear, making it look brand new without the need for a complete replacement.

Testimonials

Here's what customers say about us

My husband and I used them for a number of large and small projects around our new home. We purchased a home with beautiful architecture, yet the walls, halls and mood were extremely outdated and gloomy. Our entire home was black and grey with zero warmth or personality. Along with the stress of moving during the height of Covid lockdows, I was growing progressively depressed with the grey and black atmosphere.I knew this negative energy had to change. The walls, halls and mood needed a major facelift in order to brighten the energy and lift our darkened spirits. My husband and I were looking to bring life and soul into the home that felt like a rainy day every day. Mike Parent of Master Plan Painting not only offered a walk through consultation, but also lent his expertise regarding painting. Master Plan Painting was honest and knowledgeable when it came down to color theory, tints, tones and shades in paint, while also advising us on how the paint colors would change based on natural lighting within the home throughout the day.The painting was done in a very timely manner and completed on the original date given. We knew what to expect, did not experience much interference with daily living, and the end result was much more than we could have asked for. Master Plan Painting is truly professional. My floors were completely covered with protection while painting the house, the kitchen cupboards were properly removed when painted and put back on with meticulous care, the walls are absolutely perfectly painted with not a grey spot in sight, the paint lines were so well crafted it looks like he used a ruler; the colors were exactly what we were hoping for. Our home now has warmth and life. Master Plan Painting created the soul of the home with their skills and vision.I would unquestionably recommend Master Plan Painting to anyone who is wishing to enhance or upgrade their home, condo or apartment. Sincerely,Susie G and Rob Lowe
