The Smartest Way to Renew Your Floors
Refinishing costs a fraction of replacement and gives your hardwood floors a brand-new look. Perfect for floors with scratches, discoloration, or that just need a fresh stain color.

Stair Refinishing and Tread Replacement
Your staircase gets the same sand, stain and finish as your floors, done by hand, so the two match from the front door up.
Our crew hand-sands treads, risers and handrails, swaps out any tread that is cracked or cupped beyond saving, and stains the staircase to match the floors we just refinished. Carpeted stairs often hide solid hardwood: we can pull the carpet, check the wood underneath and refinish it when it is sound.
- Stairs and closets are sanded by hand, so they are priced per piece in your written quote.
- Stair work adds time to the schedule; we give you a clear timeline with the quote.
- Need new treads, railings or balusters instead of a refinish? See our stairs and railing carpentry service.
While the room is empty
Refinishing clears the furniture out and takes the floor down to bare wood. That is the easiest moment to handle the jobs that are awkward once the room is back in use.
- Interior painting: walls, ceilings and trim get painted with no furniture to work around.
- Baseboards and trim: new baseboards, quarter round or crown molding go in cleanly against the fresh finish.
- Stairs: refinish the staircase in the same visit so it matches the floors.
IAC Home Improvement is a full-service contractor, so you do not have to line up three different companies. One licensed and insured crew, one schedule, one written quote.
