Before you begin
Can every railing be replaced with a different style?
Not automatically. Guard height, openings, handrail continuity, structure, geometry, and current code requirements must be reviewed.
Can stairs be refinished while the home is occupied?
Often, but curing time, dust control, access between floors, pets, and temporary restrictions must be planned.
