Stair Sanding

Want to reveal the beauty of your staircase? Entrust us with sanding and varnishing it!

For stair sanding in La Prairie, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Châteauguay, or nearby towns, call the team at Plancher Tendance Rive-Sud. We also provide hardwood stair finishing for residential, commercial, and institutional spaces. No matter the condition of your staircase, we’ll restore it to a stunning, like-new appearance.

Even if the wood of your staircase has been painted or covered with glued carpet, we can remove the paint and glue, sand, smooth, and varnish the wood. We can also do the same for balusters and stair railings, either on-site or in our workshop. We use eco-friendly Vermeister varnishes. If you prefer the traditional look of oiled wood, we can apply a specially formulated oil to protect hardwood floors and stairs.

If you’d like to stain your staircase, moldings, or railings, we can create a custom color to match your preferences. Our color specialists will ensure your staircase matches your floor. The semi-transparent stain enhances the natural wood grain and retains its beauty over time. After applying the stain, a protective varnish can be added within 24 hours (up to 48 hours for very dark colors).

Stair Sanding Method


Typically, two sanding passes are needed to remove varnish from a hardwood staircase, which can be challenging due to the many small crevices between the balusters.

We use a stripping agent, a scraper, and medium-grit sandpaper to remove the varnish completely. A second sanding is then done with fine-grit sandpaper, which smooths the raw wood to prepare it for the finish (varnish or oil). We apply a water-based, eco-friendly Vermeister varnish, ideal for surfaces with regular foot traffic.

For an optimal result, we also refinish the balusters and then apply varnish.
