"Built to Last Construction was recommended to my husband and me by his brother. They remodeled my bother-in law's kitchen and built him a beautiful deck, which is featured on their website at https://www.b2lconstruction.com. We hired them to remodel our kitchen. It turned out beautiful. Tom even built pull out drawers for my cupboard panty and added a heat vent along the floor. The extra time and detail they took to get it just right was amazing. I recommended them to a friend who is keeping them busy with projects at her home. My friend recommended them to someone else who has had a hard time finding someone to update her deck. She will not be disappointed."

"He truly went above and beyond with his work. He was very professional, did a great job cleaning up, and even provided work that wasn't included. In addition to repairing the floor damage, he repaired the water line that was not even included in the estimate. I would highly recommend him and his very polite team."

"I am very pleased with Rocking M Improvements. I hired them for several reasons: 1) Derek had excellent reviews on Angi's List, 2) his demeanor was kind, calming, and professional, and 3) the quoted price was reasonable even in this market where everything is overpriced. Derek and his crew were all very kind and professional throughout the work being done. They came across a few unexpected extras that they took care of. Derek took the time to explain everything to me so that I would understand the entire job. He even was kind enough to take a look at a separate issue inside the house and offer advise as how to proceed. I would not hesitate to hire Rocking M Improvements again and will recommend them to friends and family needing home improvement help."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Auburn Hills, MI

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.
