Worn or poorly finished surfaces
Scuffed paint, rough door finishes, failed patches and damaged trim often need careful preparation before a new coating. We inspect what is sound and what needs repair or replacement.

Repair first, then finish
Older interiors with character
Keep useful wooden doors, mouldings and staircase details while addressing wear and previous repairs. We discuss which details you want preserved before sanding, patching or painting begins.
Walls and ceilings after repairs
Once a leak or other underlying issue has been corrected and affected materials are ready for finishing, we can assess drywall replacement, plaster repair, stain blocking and repainting. The quote defines the finish restoration included.
What we can restore
Walls and ceilings
We repair suitable plaster and drywall, address loose or damaged surface material, skim coat where needed and prepare for paint. After wallpaper removal, adhesive cleanup and sealing torn drywall paper are part of getting the wall ready. Explore wall preparation and painting.
Wooden doors and trim
Rough coatings, scratches and open joints can distract from woodwork worth keeping. We assess the existing finish, discuss a test area where needed, and agree on repairs and recoating. In Maple, existing wooden doors were sanded and recoated with polyurethane.
Stairs and railings
Suitable wooden treads, nosings and handrails can be sanded and refinished rather than covered over. We review wear, previous coatings, stain expectations and railing condition before agreeing on the work. Some deep marks or old colour may remain visible.
Your restoration in three steps
1. Show us what needs attention
Tell us which rooms or finishes need repair and what you want to keep. Photos are optional, but a wide view and a close view of damage can help with the first review.
2. Agree on the repair and finish
We review the surface, arrange an inspection when needed and explain repair limits. The written quote separates repairs, replacement areas, preparation and final coatings so you know what is included.
3. Restore and walk through
We protect adjoining finishes, carry out the agreed repairs and use dust extraction during sanding. Preparation, primer and finish coats follow the agreed scope, followed by cleanup and a walkthrough.
Set clear expectations before work begins
Identify the cause of recurring damage
An active leak, persistent movement or an unsound substrate needs attention before cosmetic repairs. Emergency water extraction, fire cleanup and mould remediation are separate specialist scopes; this service covers the agreed interior repairs and finishes.
Match the finish honestly
For a broader change in style, explore home makeovers. Older paint, wood grain and stained surfaces change with age. A local repair may remain visible, so we discuss sample areas and whether finishing a full wall, door or stair flight will give a more consistent result.
Understand the quote
Damage depth, loose material, previous coatings, access and the amount of surrounding finish to blend all affect labour. If opening a repair reveals more damage, we review the added work before proceeding.

Read full reviewWe had an excellent experience working with Maxim and Strataline Inc. Installing and perfectly matching a custom stain for our oak treads was no small task, and the addition of the square posts made it an even greater technical challenge—but everything was executed flawlessly.
Read full reviewWOW! Just WOW! Max removed all the popcorn from our 1800 sq ft town home, repainted from top to bottom plus did some carpentry repairs on our floors…and the final result is spectacular!
Read full reviewMaxim at Strataline did a very professional job in removing our hallway popcorn/stucco ceiling. The end result was a completely smooth surface and not only that, they totally sealed off the area so absolutely not dust penetrated other areas of the house.
