Stair Refinishing in Gloucester, VA
Gloucester farmhouses and homes along the York River often have narrow, steep, old stairs that have seen generations of boots. We refinish them carefully, or rebuild the treads where they are too far gone.

The Stairs We Work On in Gloucester
Farmhouse stairs are often narrower and steeper than modern ones, with treads worn into a dip. We level what we can by sanding and replace treads that are too thin. Homes on crawl spaces near the river can have moisture issues, so we take readings before finishing anything.
- Farmhouse stairs: Narrow, steep and full of character.
- Worn treads: Sanded level or replaced where too thin.
- Crawl-space homes: Moisture readings before we finish.
- Painted or stained: Classic white risers or all-wood looks.

Gloucester stair FAQ
How much does stair refinishing cost in Gloucester?
Stairs are priced per step, plus risers, landings, handrails and balusters as needed. After a free look we give you a written, itemized quote before any work starts.
01Can old farmhouse stairs be refinished?
Usually. If treads are too worn or thin to sand, we replace just those treads and finish them to match the rest.
02Do you travel to Gloucester?
Yes. We cover Gloucester Courthouse, Hayes, Gloucester Point and the rest of the county.
03Does a crawl space affect stair refinishing?
It can affect the floors around the stairs more than the stairs, but we check moisture either way before finishing.
