Possibly. Their condition, usable wood and previous work need inspection before a refinishing scope is selected.
Do not assume they are. The estimate should specify any railing or baluster work separately from treads, risers and landings.
The measured area, existing conditions, selected materials and preparation all affect the scope. Request an itemized estimate after the assessment.
Ask Brazil Floors to confirm appointment availability for your Scarsdale address and describe the rooms or staircase you want assessed.
Timing depends on the work and products used. Confirm access restrictions and any drying or curing requirements before scheduling.
