We start with a thorough cleaning, sanding, and any scraping or wire-brushing needed to create a smooth surface. Rust or minor damage is addressed to ensure the paint or stain adheres properly.
Banisters and handrails are an important design element in your home or business, and they deserve professional care. Trust Visual Paints to refresh your handrails or banisters with expert painting or staining, giving them a polished, long-lasting look.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you prepare banisters and handrails for painting or staining?
Can you paint both wood and metal handrails?
Yes. We use specialized primers and paints suited for wood and metal surfaces to ensure a durable, long-lasting finish.
What type of finish is best for banisters and handrails?
Durable finishes like semi-gloss or satin work best, providing a smooth look that’s easy to maintain. We’ll help you choose the right finish based on traffic and style preferences.
Can you stain handrails instead of painting them?
Absolutely. We can enhance natural wood grain with a protective stain, perfect for coastal-inspired or classic Florida interiors.
How long does it take to complete a banister or handrail painting job?
Most projects can be finished in one to two days, depending on complexity and drying time. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
Will you need to remove the handrails or banisters to paint them?
In most cases, we can paint or stain in place. If removal is necessary for the best result, we’ll discuss options with you beforehand.
Do I need to prepare the area before you arrive?
We recommend removing small personal items or decor nearby. Our team will handle the main preparation, including covering floors and surrounding surfaces.
How should I care for my painted or stained handrails?
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and dust regularly to keep finishes looking fresh without damaging the surface.
