We start with a thorough cleaning, sanding, and any necessary scraping or wire-brushing to ensure a smooth surface. If there’s rust or minor damage, we handle that as well to make sure the paint or stain adheres well.
Banisters and handrails are an intricate piece of the design for your home or business, and they should be treated as such! Trust the experts at Visual Paint to beautify your handrails or banisters with a fresh coat of paint and a brand new 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 have experience with both wood and metal surfaces. We use specialized primers and paints suited to each material to ensure a durable, long-lasting finish.
What type of finish is best for banisters and handrails?
We recommend durable finishes like semi-gloss or satin, which provide a smooth look and are easy to clean. We’ll help you choose a finish that matches your aesthetic and fits the traffic level of the area.
Can you stain handrails instead of painting them?
Absolutely! If you prefer a natural wood look, we can apply a stain that enhances the wood’s grain and provides lasting protection.
How long does it take to complete a banister or handrail painting job?
Most projects can be completed in a day or two, depending on the complexity and drying time needed. We’ll provide a timeline estimate during your initial consultation.
Do you offer color consultations for banister and handrail painting?
Yes, we can help you choose a color or stain that complements the overall look of your space, whether you’re going for a classic style or a bold, modern accent.
Will you need to remove the handrails or banisters to paint them?
In most cases, we can paint or stain them in place. However, if removal will provide a better result, we’ll discuss options with you beforehand.
Do I need to prepare the area before you arrive?
We recommend removing any personal items or decor nearby, but we’ll handle the main preparation, including covering floors and surrounding areas to protect them from paint or dust.
How should I care for my painted or stained handrails?
We suggest using gentle, non-abrasive cleaners for maintenance. Regular dusting will help keep them looking fresh and clean without damaging the finish.
