"Replaced dropdown stairs to attic. He was the only contractor I asked for estimates that came out and examined the job. He was always punctual. The price was fair. Peter did a fine job and cleaned up well afterwards. I would definitely hire him again. "

"Very quick to respond to posting and came next day for estimate. This was a small repair job on fascia and flashing which they handled at time of estimate for a reasonable price, especially considering the minimum fees that bigger contractors charge -- if you can even get the bigger guys to come out. Contractor (Eric) seemed knowledgeable and was polite and professional. Would hire again."

"I found Ralph of KLK Carpentry on Angi and couldn’t be happier. He completed three major projects in my condo: custom built-in dining nook shelves and extensive wall trim/paneling in the living room and hallway. The craftsmanship is extremely detail-oriented and looked beautiful even before paint. I shared inspo photos (1.5” colonial trim spaced 2” in the living room and 2.5” hotel-style chair rail spaced 4” in the hallway), and he sourced trim even better than I envisioned. Of three quotes, his pricing was fair and competitive, and it included materials, which was so helpful. He’s insured, efficient, and highly professional. What truly sets him apart is his communication and temperament. He was responsive, calm, and reassuring throughout. Even when my vision shifted mid-project, he’d simply say, “Ok, no problem.” The entire process felt smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend him and will absolutely hire him again."

"Mike installed some crown molding that we had purchased from someone who was remodeling their approx. 100-year old house that matched very closely to the molding we already had in other rooms in our house (also around 100-years old). Mike did an incredible job - it looks better than what we had expected. It looks like it's been there since the house was built, which is exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Mike - he was very easy to work with, very communicative, and very skilled at what he does!"

"The handyman, Paul, was punctual, professional and did quality work. He replaced the small section of my wood soffit that had water damage with new wood, painted it and caulked. He cleaned up the area when he was done. Paul also re-secured several of my window shutters that had loose screws. He spray painted the screw caps to match the color of my shutters. "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Addison, IL

Hiring a pro to refinish wooden stairs means labor makes up 20% to 30% of your total budget. That price covers sanding, staining, and sealing each step. In most cases, a certified refinisher can tackle a 10-step staircase in about two hours, then apply stain and sealant for a durable, eye-catching finish that stands up to daily traffic.

A pro can sand a standard 10-step staircase in roughly two hours, then needs another four to six hours for each coat of stain and sealant to dry. DIYers should budget up to a week for sanding, staining, and sealing in stages. With a crew on site, the bulk of the work is completed in a single day, minimizing disruptions while still achieving a high-quality finish.

It’s possible to refinish stairs without full-scale sanding by using chemical strippers, power buffers, or simply layering a fresh finish over the existing coat. Chemical strippers break down old stains and sealants, while buffers quickly shave off surface material. Even so, a quick hand-sand with fine-grit paper helps the new finish bond properly and look smooth. As always, suit up in protective gear and follow product directions to keep your wood—and yourself—safe.

For most stair projects, you’ll want two sandpaper grits. Begin with 80- to 120-grit to strip the old finish and even out rough spots, then move to 150- to 220-grit for a smooth, ready-for-stain surface. A power sander speeds up the coarse pass, but switches to hand sanding with the fine grit in corners and along edges to keep abrasion even and give stain or sealer something to grab onto.
