Stair Refinishing in Norfolk, VA
Ghent, Larchmont and Colonial Place are full of original staircases: oak and pine treads, turned balusters and handrails that have been painted three or four times. We bring them back without losing what makes them special.

The Stairs We Work On in Norfolk
Old stairs in Norfolk usually need more than a sand and stain. Layers of paint on balusters, treads worn into a dip in the middle, and the odd loose step all get sorted before finish goes on. Newer homes and military rentals around the bases are a different job: carpeted builder stairs we can turn into hardwood or bend LVP onto to match the floors.
- Original oak and pine: Sanded with care so we keep as much wood as we can.
- Painted balusters: Stripped and repainted, or refreshed, your choice.
- Squeaky old treads: Re-secured before we finish them.
- Carpeted builder stairs: Converted to hardwood or bent LVP.

Norfolk stair FAQ
How much does stair refinishing cost in Norfolk?
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 you refinish stairs in a historic Ghent home?
Yes. We sand conservatively on original treads, fix loose steps first and match stains to the existing floors so the stairs still feel original.
02Can you strip old paint off balusters?
We can strip and repaint, or scuff and repaint if the shape is in good condition. Lead paint is common in older Norfolk homes, so we test first and follow lead-safe practices.
03Do you work on military rentals near the base?
Yes. We regularly refresh stairs for move-outs and new tenants, and we can work with landlords and property managers.

"We were petrified of refinishing our 1910 oak floors in Ghent because of our delicate plaster walls and built-ins. The Coastal Floors team was fantastic. Their dustless sanding was incredibly clean—literally zero cleanup for us. The floors look magnificent."
