Hardwood Stair Sanding & Refinishing in Montréal

Worn-out hardwood stairs are usually the first thing a guest sees. JA Planchers refinishes treads, risers, stringers and banisters with the same dust-contained sanding system we use on floors — so you get a brand-new staircase without dust on every shelf in your house.

We can refinish stairs independently (just the staircase) or as part of a full home refinish where the stairs match the new floor exactly.

Our Process

A standard flight is 2-3 days. We work in zones so you can keep using your home.

1

Inspection & colour plan

We measure the staircase, inspect tread thickness (some old treads are too thin to sand again), and lock down a colour plan: match the existing floor, contrast risers, or refresh the existing colour.

Dust-contained sanding

We mask off the staircase with zip-walls, attach our HEPA vacuum at the source, and sand treads, risers and stringers with edge sanders designed specifically for stairs. 99% dustless.

Stain & finish

Stain is colour-matched to your floor (or to the new colour you chose), then we apply 2-3 coats of Bona Traffic HD — the same commercial finish used on basketball courts. Optional anti-slip additive on the tread surface.

Banisters, balusters, newel posts

We refinish handrails, balusters and newel posts as part of the same job — including the option to paint balusters white while keeping the treads and handrail stained, the most-requested two-tone look in Montréal homes.

FAQ

How long does it take to refinish a flight of hardwood stairs?

A standard 14-step flight is typically 2-3 days from start to last coat. Plan another 24-48 h before heavy use so the finish fully cures.

Can you match my stairs to an existing hardwood floor?

Yes — this is one of our most-requested jobs. We bring stain samples, run on-site test patches, and match the floor exactly. We can also do the opposite (light treads, dark risers) if you want a contrast.

Do we have to leave the house?

No. We work in dust-contained zones with a HEPA system, and we stage the stairs so you can use one side at a time. Most clients stay home throughout.

What about banisters and railings?

We sand and re-finish handrails, balusters and newel posts as part of the same project. We can change the colour separately from the treads if you want.

Will the stairs be slippery after refinishing?

No — we apply a high-traffic commercial-grade finish (Bona Traffic HD) with optional anti-slip additive on the tread surface.
