Call (978) 754-8751 Get a Free EstimateStair refinishing in Medford MA is some of the most demanding work in a home, and it is exactly where a good crew shows. Every tread and riser is a small, visible surface that takes hand sanding, careful staining, and a durable finish, and the whole staircase has to match the floor it connects. JPN is based in Medford, so we handle stair refinishing and new stair installation for homes throughout the city, from open colonial staircases to steep triple-decker stairs.
A floor is one continuous plane. A staircase is dozens of small surfaces at different angles, plus nosings and railings, and every one of them is seen up close. That is why so many refinishers avoid stairs or charge a premium for them. We do the hand work required to get crisp edges and an even color on every tread, so the finished staircase looks like a single, intentional piece rather than a patchwork.
In the older homes of Medford Square, West Medford, and Hillside, the staircase is often the first thing you see through the front door, and a mismatched stain stands out immediately. We match the color and sheen of your stairs to your existing hardwood floor, or refinish both together for a seamless look from the entry up.
Stairs are priced per step because they take far more hand work per square foot than a flat floor. These are typical Greater Boston ranges for planning; your estimate is specific to your staircase.
| What you need | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Refinishing existing treads and risers | $40 to $75 per step |
| Refinishing treads only (carpeted risers) | Lower per step, per the estimate |
| New treads and risers (rebuild) | Priced per step plus materials |
| Railing and balusters refinished | Added per the estimate |
Ranges are for planning only. We look at your staircase on site and give you a documented, per-step estimate before any work begins.
Stairs wear faster than floors because every step lands in the same place. Consider refinishing when:
Most staircases take a few days including cure time between coats.
Because stairs are a main route through the home, we plan the work to keep you access wherever possible and tell you when each section is safe to use.
We protect the surrounding floor and walls, contain dust, and leave the entry clean.
Stairs punish shortcuts more than any other surface. Watch for:

Every staircase is priced from a documented, per-step estimate and finished on the schedule we promised.
We match the color to your floor and do not call the job done until you have inspected the stairs up close with us.
Not every tired staircase needs rebuilding. If the treads and risers are solid hardwood and structurally sound, refinishing restores them for far less than replacement, the same logic as a floor.
Rebuilding makes sense when treads are cracked, badly worn past the point of sanding, or you are opening up a staircase as part of a renovation. In older Medford homes we often find good hardwood under old paint or carpet, and uncovering and refinishing it transforms an entry.
We assess the staircase on site and tell you honestly whether refinishing, new treads over the existing structure, or a full rebuild is the right call for your home and budget.
A common Medford project is converting carpeted stairs to finished hardwood. Sometimes there is solid wood under the carpet that just needs refinishing; sometimes the treads underneath were never meant to be seen and need new hardwood treads and risers installed.
We pull the carpet, assess what is underneath, and either refinish the existing wood or install new treads and risers matched to your floor. The result is a staircase that looks built for the home rather than covered up.
Converting to hardwood also removes a magnet for dust and allergens, a real benefit in the busy family homes near Tufts and throughout West Medford.
Stairs are the one surface in the home where finish choice is partly about safety, not just looks. A finish that is too glossy and slick underfoot is a hazard, especially on a steep older staircase.
We use durable finishes appropriate for stair traffic and can discuss options that keep a consistent, confident footing while still matching the sheen of your floor.
Crisp, even nosings matter too: a well-finished nosing is easier to see and step on. The hand work we put into edges is as much about safe stairs as it is about how they look.
Because JPN is based right here in Medford, we're minutes from Medford Square, West Medford, Wellington, and the Hillside neighborhood by Tufts, so we get to your home fast and know the older solid-hardwood floors these houses are built on. We work throughout Medford Square, West Medford, Wellington, Hillside, South Medford, North Medford, and Edgeworth. Medford's housing runs heavily to older solid-hardwood homes: Colonial and Federal-era houses, Victorian and Queen Anne homes with ornate trim, Second Empire houses with mansard roofs near Medford Square, and three-family homes throughout Hillside and South Medford, so we know the floors under these homes and how to bring them back or build them new.
