"We have had Phelan Construction do numerous house improvements for us over the years. Most recently it involved wood gutter repair, wood steps, railing, hanging screen doors, soffit and fascia repair, and painting. Previously Bob replaced siding on a large area of our house with new cedar siding. We have always been more than happy with Bob's work ethic, quality of work and overall pleasantness."

"When Gaby Sent me his work proposal by text message I found myself wondering whether he was reliable or legitimate. However, I hired him to replace my stairway railing because his reviews were so good. I'm very glad I did. This guy is a real pro. It is fascinating to watch him work. He is very quick but also very precise. Obviously knows what he is doing. His work was excellent. The price was certainly fair. I also added on for or five small jobs inside the house such as repairing doors, etc., and he added these onto the job without any hassle. It was a pleasure working with him. I certainly would hire him again and consider him a great resource for my future carpentry needs."

"Michael, Bruce, Gino, Walter and Johnny went above and beyond with this project. So much so, other projects are lined up for them like building an additional deck in the back for us. Our Physical Therapist has even requested their Business Card for possible clients in the future after she has seen the results of their quality work. Bruce and the Team refabricated an Aluminum Ramp for my Husband who is an amputee (First time building an Aluminum Ramp)) into their Wood working with a deck, partial ramp and stairs in the front. The stairs are nice and wide. I truly feel safe walking up/down them due to my stroke. They worked with safety in different types of weather conditions. They took their time (To my Husband and I, they were quick) with their quality of their work, always checking their measurements to ensure they were meeting the building code. They kept the area clean at all times and cleaned up before they left for the day. They met our needs, and adjusted to any changes we wanted to make without hesitation. They were reliable even while they had other work projects on the go with other clients. Their Business Name, A PRO Builders, speaks the truth about all of them. Top Quality, Clean, Friendly, and more. All of these Guys are People Person who always smile, no matter the workload, no matter the weather. Jesse and I (Sylvia) Baptista would like to Thank all of you for an OUTSTANDING JOB!!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Auburn, MA

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.
