It needs to have old paint removed, then sanded (/), sealed, varnished. We want its natural colors to be shown. Are you able to restore a 1876 victorian stairway?

I have a question for you that is not related to the staircase but maybe you can help. Do you have any radiators that are in the floor? I just bought a 1905 highwater bungalow and our heat source is the radiators in the floor. They have been working great except that yesterday my toddler who is potty training stood over the grate and peed on one of them! It wasn't on but this morning when I turned it on it started to smoke a little and now the whole house smells like burnt pee! I turned it off pretty quick when I saw the smoke but I have no idea what to do at this point. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated or if you can even recommend who I would contact for help, that would be great too! This is gorgeous!

You still probably could. Nothing wrong with some extra strength!
