i remember 1 staircase equals to 2 rooms.

you very heng....all parquet ready..

there are a few companies that specialised in RE-sanding, RE-varnishing parquet.

look for the co in ST classifieds with phone number ending with 1011 or 1101...forgotten.

revarnish for staircase around $300.

Note - Revarnish is just simply applying varnish to the flooring. MIN SANDING and removal of scratches.

To resand and revarnish cost way more than that.

I actually got someone to revarnish my staircase, in the end, was very dissappointed as I could have do it myself for less than $20. So, in the end, I bought a hand rotary sander and a full height floor sander and redo my staircase and parquet myself. Beautifully done and at 30% of what I was quoted. Thus, I sold the sanders and cost to "renew" the flooring was only about $300 inclusive of replacement parquet that was gorged by my inexperience.

My next project will be TV consoles, shoe cabinet and additional cabinets.

Very broke ah...I'm DIYing to save cost.

Wah... If I have the knowledge, equipment and time, I dun mind DIY also. I think can really save some cash

btw, any of you know how I can "recondition" my wrough iron handrail? The wrough iron handrail installed by previous owner has rusted and the colour looks dull. Some contractors told me that to recondition is only to send for regalvanizing. And to do that, they will have to remove the whole handrail and send it to factory. If just apply paint, the paint might not stick and will make the handrail looks ugly. But the problem of removing the handrail is costly and high chance of damage the flooring, which I don't wanna change.

Any suggestions on what i can do to make it "new" or nice?

Regards

You should post at DIY section to get faster response.

You contractor trying to pull a quick one on you. Galvanizing is commonly used on WI if your product comes into contact with water always, say lamp post. For WI banister in house, how often does it comes into contact with water? Unless you have sweaty palm then no choice.

To DYI, use sand paper to remove rust, then buy WI paint(rust resistant type), apply double coat better.

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't know that's a DIY section. Will post there too.

Will check out WI paint. Where to get them?

I even have a contractor quoting me $1,300 to repaint the WI handrail! When I question, why so expensive, the reply was "special paint and lots of work"

OK, WI painting does require some skills to do but don't think this skill cost 1300 and the paint is like less then 100. U can get it in homefix or any paint shop.

My contractor told me to get the WI paint and he will ask his "tau chui" to do it.... guess it is FOC, or u can see it as cost already factor into whole house painting in the quotation.

when my neighbour reno their place 2 years ago,i saw the contractor simply used sand paper to sand the WI gate then spray paint the gate to make it 'brandnew' again. Till date,still look very brand new. Maybe the contractor/id want to 'makan' u. Try a few more quotes cos doesnt make sense to remove the WI railings then install it back.

Very dirty job. Need 80 grit sandpaper follow by 220grit, apply primer, spray paint then lacquer.

Did my railing myself as well.

Dust all over the place and very time consuming esp your wrough iron handrail is pattern pattern kind.

Alu is easier, than polish till mirror shine.
