"I have used many contractors over the years and this was definitely the best experience we ve had. Jason was quick to respond to our questions, stuck to his timeline and did a quality job. Our replacement decks, railings and staircases look great. I highly recommend him."

"The tile work was using travertine natural stone with a lot of high end detail. The price shown was labor only I provided all of the materials as I wanted a higher quality of stone than could be purchased in the Outer Banks. Michael did an outstanding job. In fact my husband commented that he had never seen such perfect grouting on a listello before. He removed all of the old stuff and no damage to the house although there was a lot of tile dusts use to it being natural stone. My only issue was that the job took longer than either he or I anticipated. I wish I had given him a absolute need by finish date before starting. I would have Michael back for sure and would highly recommend him! Lisa

"After the repair was done I noticed a leak in my bathroom ceiling where one of the roof vents were replaced. I called the Subcontractor Brian on a Saturday morning. The weather was cold and raining. He was at my house within the hour up on the roof and fixed the leak. I havent had any leaks since. I would hire Brain the Subcontractor again."

"John and his crew painted the exterior of our 3 story rental house in Avon. We selected the paint, as agreed, and they did the job. Beautifully done and as fast as this Hatteras Island weather in January allowed. Everything cleaned up, the porches and stairs power-washed. What a difference! John should be proud of the beautiful job he does. If you wish and can, drive down to 39262 Wahoo Circle in Avon to take a look at our like-new house. Not to mention that his fees are very reasonable compared to some other estimates we received. I will be recommending IPaint to everyone looking for professional painters in the area."

"I am an out of town homeowner who arrived to find a leak had ruined my bathroom wall and ceiling, 2 weeks before my first summer renters were to arrive. John contacted me on the Saturday before Memorial day, came by and gave a fair estimate on Sunday and began and completed the work within a few days. I would highly recommend John and his crew and will use again!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Barco, NC

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.
