Stair railing and banister refinishing

Oak railings and spindles date a home just like oak cabinets. A dark stained handrail with white painted spindles (pictured above) is one of the most popular updates, and it pairs naturally with a refinished kitchen.

Popular railing looks

  • Dark or black stained handrail with white painted spindles and newel posts
  • Fully painted railing in white or a trim color
  • Refreshed wood stain to match new floors

Why railings are detail work

Every spindle has to be cleaned, sanded and finished by hand, and the handrail gets more hand contact than almost any surface in the house. Expect railings to be quoted on their length and the number of spindles and posts.

Stair Railings: questions

Can you do the railing at the same time as my kitchen?

Yes, and it's often the best time, since the finishes can be coordinated. Include photos of the railing when you request your quote.
