Award Winning Services
As painting contractors for more than thirty years, we know that there is a huge need for staircase painting, staining as well as staircase refinishing. That’s why we include it in our services! Staircases are one of the most used parts of your home.
The stairs themselves are the first part to get damaged or worn out, causing inconsistency and a bad look for the treads. These problems are even more obvious if your stairs are stained, in which case, there will be worn out patches in the middle where most of the traffic occurs. If that’s not bad enough, the risers, stringers, nosing, and pickets are often banged and worn out as well. For all of these reasons and more, you should allow Home Painters Toronto to come in and take care of your staircase painting, staining and refinishing!

Yes, we include up to 5 colours of paint (stain in this case), also all the materials to protect and prepare the walls, handrails or floors as well as labour are included.
Usually yes, painters can do it for you but that will add on the hours of your project and it will increase your overall estimate. But!, if there’s any oversized furniture that you cannot move on your own, it’s normally ok to ask them to give you a hand to move it a bit to allow them to paint.
Approximate completion times for staircase painting
- Small to medium houses: 5 to 8 business days
- Medium to large houses: 7 to 9 business days
- Large to XL houses: 8 to 10 business days
Approximate completion times for staircase staining
- Small to medium houses: 3 to 5 business days
- Medium to large houses: 4 to 8 business days
- Large to XL houses: 7 to 10 business days
Most jobs will take 2 and 5 days. But if your in a rush, inquire about our 1 or 2 day painting services.
We can suggest some of the most popular colours to get you started from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. If you really need help, one of our experts can come to help you pick colours.
The project will be completed by our in-house painters, who are all experienced and professionally trained (and not subcontractors).
What could affect the price of stairs painting/staining?
• Difficulty to reach (strange corners that require special machinery to get to).
• How soon you want it done, and how fast you need it done. Consider that if you’re in a rush and your painting company has a busy week they might need to pay for extra hours or even move or cancel a job, and that could increase the price.
• Tied to the previous point, if you have a flexible schedule you can take advantage of a low season like the end of winter or the end of summer to get it done probably at a better rate.
• The size of the job. The more work you give to your painting company, the lower the per-unit cost. How does this make sense? Well, some materials are cheaper by volume but also, moving around less or spending more time at one job decreases all the logistics and prep work.
• Number of colours: if you can keep it to 5 colours or under, you will not see a price increase. The reason? there’s less difficulty to do the job and less paint or stain waste.
• Different types of paint can increase the cost. We use high-quality Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore paint so you can rest assured you’re well covered. Nevertheless, if you want something very specific or ultra-premium that can potentially increase the price.
• Payment terms (i.e. Visa vs e-transfer). A lot of clients like to use their credit cards for many reasons, however, these payments come with a fee that increases the overall price.
• The amount of preparation involved. (i.e. isolating to avoid painting undesired areas, removing plants, covering and taping). We normally don’t move your furniture and personal belongings so if you need help with that we can do it but it will add more time to the process and will increase the bill. (TIP: we can help on the spot to move some really large furniture, so don’t get hurt trying to do that and as long as it’s a fast move we’ll just do it for you!)
• Heights: we need to bring scaffolding and assembling and disassembling will add time, thus increasing the price

MORE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is it better to stain or paint a staircase?
When deciding whether to stain or paint your staircase, a great approach is to paint the risers and stain the treads. This way, the stain protects the treads from daily wear, while the paint gives the risers a fresh and stylish appearance. It’s a smart choice that balances durability and aesthetics!
How much does it cost to stain a staircase?
When it comes to staining a staircase, you can expect to pay between $90 and $450 for an average stairway with 12 to 13 steps. The final cost depends on whether you choose to paint or stain, as well as the types of materials and finishes you select.
How do you paint and stain new stairs?
To paint and stain new stairs, first ensure they are clean and dry. Use a primer for even colour and better adhesion. Apply your chosen stain or paint with a brush or roller, working from top to bottom. Allow each coat to dry before sanding lightly and adding a second coat for a smooth finish.
What is the best stain for stairs?
The best stain for stairs usually depends on the wood type and your style preference. Oil-based stains are popular for their durability and rich color, while water-based options dry faster and are easier to clean up. Choose a stain that complements your home’s decor and enhances the wood’s natural beauty!
Is it worth painting stairs?
Painting stairs can be a great idea! It not only adds a pop of colour to your home but also protects the wood and enhances its lifespan. Plus, a fresh coat can make your stairway look brand new. Just make sure to use non-slip paint for safety.
What makes a staircase expensive?
A staircase can be expensive due to the materials used, such as hardwood or stone, and the complexity of its design. Custom features like railings, lighting, and unique shapes also add to the cost. Essentially, quality craftsmanship and aesthetics play a big role in the price of a staircase.
How many coats of stain should you put on stairs?
For stairs, applying two to three coats of stain is usually sufficient for a great finish. If you’re looking for a richer, darker colour, you can add more—up to four coats if you’d like! Just remember to wipe away excess stain after 5 to 15 minutes and then move on to sealing it once you’re happy with the look.
How much is it to paint a staircase?
The cost to paint a staircase typically falls between $2 and $6 per square foot. For a standard hallway that’s about 12 feet by 12 feet, or 144 square feet, you can expect to pay anywhere from $288 to $864. Remember, the final price may vary based on the type of paint and the specific project details.
Can I paint over old paint on stairs?
You can paint over old paint on stairs, but for the best results, start by sanding the surface lightly. This helps the new paint stick better. Clean off any dust, apply a primer if needed, and then paint. It’s an easy way to give your stairs a fresh look!
How long before you can walk on stained stairs?
You should wait at least 24 hours before walking on stained stairs. This allows the stain to dry properly. For the best results, try to avoid heavy foot traffic for a few days. Patience now will ensure a long-lasting, beautiful finish!
Do I need to sand stairs before painting?
Yes, sanding stairs before painting is a good idea. It helps smooth out rough spots and allows the paint to adhere better. Just a light sanding will do the trick. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in the final finish!
What is the difference between stain and varnish stairs?
Stain adds color to wood while keeping the natural grain visible. Varnish, on the other hand, is a clear coat that adds a protective, glossy finish. Stain is about appearance, and varnish is about protection. You can even use both together for a beautiful and durable finish!
Should I paint my stairs gloss or matt?
When deciding whether to paint your stairs in gloss or matte, consider the traffic they’ll see. Gloss paint is more durable and easier to clean, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. Meanwhile, matte finishes can provide a softer look but may show scuffs more easily. Choose based on your style and practicality!
What is the best painting for staircase?
When choosing the best paint for your staircase, consider using specially formulated floor paint for the wood treads to ensure safety and durability. For the risers and stairwell walls, opt for scuff-resistant paint. Finally, a durable alkyd interior paint works wonderfully for handrails and balusters, keeping them looking fresh and stylish!
