Staircase Restoration FAQ
Questions to settle before you decide.
Is staircase blasting better than chemical dipping or heat guns?
Yes. Blasting is dry and does not raise wood grain or leave toxic chemical salts. It reaches deep into carved spindle turnings and corner rebates in minutes rather than days of scraping.
