We have a stairwell with wooden window frames (trapkozijn) that haven't been painted in 15+ years. The wood is still solid but looks tired. I'm handy but worried about getting the finish right in such a visible spot. Budget is tight—should I spend a weekend on this myself or call a pro?

Stairwell frames are tricky: they're highly visible, often have multiple planes and edges, and require careful prep (sanding, filling, priming) to avoid drips and uneven coverage. DIY costs €80–150 in materials but risks a patchy finish. A professional painter charges €400–700 for prep, primer, and 2 coats on a typical stairwell—driven by access difficulty and detail work. The payoff for hiring a pro here is smooth, durable results and your time back. If your woodwork is in good condition (no rot), it just needs cleaning, light sanding, and quality paint; a pro will spot any repairs needed upfront.
