"We recently had our deck replaced and couldn’t be happier with the results! Rob was the main person on the project and came by every day. He was professional, hardworking, and very respectful. Although it was supposed to be a two-man job, some issues came up and Rob ended up working solo for a couple of days, which made the project take a bit longer. Even so, he handled everything really well and made sure the quality was top-notch. The deck looks amazing, and I would definitely use Rob again in the future. Highly recommend!"

"Anthony and quality lawn & handyman services were a joy to work with. Our siding repair job ended up being that plus an exterior paint job and they rocked it! Fair prices, clear communication and timely services. They went over options on how to handle additional work that was uncovered. We never felt like he was pressuring us to do more than was needed. We will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend to look them up for any and all handyman services. Their portfolio covers a lot of areas."

"Handyman Carpentry came through for me and my family! Our door was kicked in and I needed to feel safe immediately. Mr. Kevin came through with a fast response, and great work. He kept in contact throughout the entire time! Reasonable and fair pricing. This was an emergency for me and Mr. Kevin and his squad came through. We will definitely be calling on him again for more carpentry and home improvement jobs! Thank you and I pray nothing but growth and success for you and your business!!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Austin, TX

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.
