The staircase in a house’s entryway is a focal point that makes an immediate impression on visitors. Homeowners often remove carpet from their stairs to show off the hardwood beneath. If you decided to go that route in the past, but your beautiful wood stairs are now scratched and worn, the stair refinishing experts at Barbati Hardwood Flooring can revitalize them.
How Refinishing Can Rejuvenate Your Wood Stairs
Walking up and down a staircase every day is bound to cause wear and tear. Pets’ nails, high-heeled shoes, and spills can create additional issues, such as gouges, discoloration, and moisture damage.
Even when hardwood appears to be in poor condition, the damage is typically limited to the top layer of wood. After that layer is sanded off, a pristine layer of wood is revealed. That wood can then be stained and sealed to prevent further problems.
Why You Should Have Your Wood Stairs Refinished
Refinishing your wood stairs will remove an eyesore and transform the appearance of your entryway. Instead of seeing a worn-out staircase, your family and friends will be greeted by a gleaming set of hardwood stairs.
Refinishing the stairs can give you an opportunity to dramatically change the look of your entryway. You can have the stairs stained in a different color than you currently have and repaint the banisters in a new color.
If you decide to sell your house at some future date, the condition of the stairs can affect your ability to attract a buyer and the amount you’ll receive. First impressions play a pivotal role in buyers’ decisions. If potential buyers walk through the door and are struck by a beautiful staircase, they’ll be more likely to make a bid.
Refinishing hardwood, whether it’s on stairs or on the floor, is typically much less expensive than replacing it. Refinishing the wood on your staircase will leave room in your budget for other repairs and home upgrades.
