Lawrence homeowners are refinishing their banisters and railings because the village’s large colonials and premium properties have staircases where the railing is a primary interior design element – and original worn finish or outdated stain color in a Lawrence home is a detail that stands out against the premium standard the rest of the interior is held to. The bay-adjacent properties along Lawrence Cove and the larger colonials throughout the village interior have staircases that are built with quality wood, and that quality deserves a finish that reflects the investment level of the home. Refinishing restores the railing to that level. Frank Cimino Flooring is approximately 17 minutes away.
