Stairwell Painting Contractors

Professional Stairwell Painting in Northern Indiana

At Custom Paint & Finish, we know that stairwells are more than just a way to get from one floor to another; they’re visual connectors, high-traffic zones, and one of the first things people see when they enter a home or commercial building. Whether you're a homeowner in Waterford Mills or a business owner near downtown Goshen, a clean, freshly painted stairwell makes a statement. But painting stairways isn’t like painting a bedroom. These spaces are tight, tall, awkwardly lit, and often dangerously high. That’s where we come in.

We’re not just painters, we’re stairwell specialists. Our team combines expert technique, proper equipment, and a deep understanding of surface prep and paint durability to transform these challenging spaces safely and beautifully.

Painting Residential Stairwells

A well-painted stairwell adds flow, character, and polish to your home, but it’s also one of the first areas to show wear. Scuffs, smudges, and daily foot traffic can leave walls looking tired, especially in tight, dimly lit spaces.

At Custom Paint & Finish, we help homeowners in places like Stone Ridge and Greencroft choose the right colors and finishes to brighten narrow staircases or highlight architectural features. Once we’ve dialed in your vision, we prep every surface, patching, sanding, and protecting trim and flooring before applying durable, high-quality paint built to last.

Tall foyers, uneven steps, and tight landings are no issue. Our team uses the right tools and techniques to reach high, awkward areas safely and cleanly. From plaster to paneling, every wall gets the same care and precision.

No matter your home’s age or style, we bring the experience and attention to detail your stairwell deserves.

Commercial Stairwell Painting

In commercial buildings, stairwells aren’t just passageways; they’re high-traffic work zones. From heavy foot traffic and equipment transport to emergency exits, these spaces take a beating. That’s why commercial stairwell painting requires more than just a fresh coat; it takes proper prep, safety planning, and coatings built for durability.

We specialize in painting stairwells for businesses, schools, apartment complexes, and industrial facilities across Northern Indiana.

Here’s how we keep things safe, smooth, and professional:

  • We plan around your schedule to avoid disruption, with evening or weekend options available

  • We use quick-drying, low-odor paints for safe and fast reentry

  • We prep thoroughly, including cleaning, patching, and sanding for better adhesion and longer wear

  • We apply durable coatings that meet commercial safety and performance standards

  • We follow OSHA-compliant safety protocols, with barriers and signage around active stairwells

Prepping for Perfection

Stairwells take a beating, so proper prep is necessary. We start by cleaning surfaces, fixing dents and cracks, sanding rough spots, and dulling glossy finishes to help the paint stick. For long-term durability, we use washable satin or eggshell finishes that resist scuffs and wear.

Whether it's drywall in a residential home or concrete in a commercial stairwell, we pair the right prep, primer, and paint to ensure a smooth finish that holds up for years.
