"Bob has done numerous projects for our old house over the years mainly carpentry, and most recently to replace cedar siding on a large area of the house. Bob does excellent carpentry and finish work and is an extremely hard worker. He has also done wood gutter repair, cleaning and sealing, hung exterior doors and installed exterior wood railings for us. The various projects have involved a significant amount of high exterior painting. He has a wide range of skills and excellent problem-solving ability. Because of this history, we have a lot of trust that Bob will do an excellent job at whatever project he accepts. "

"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."

Robert was punctual, respectful, and kept the work area clean throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality repair work. Thank you, Robert! "

"The quality of the work was excellent. They cleaned up the work area every day after they worked and we are very pleased with the deck post replacement and trim board wrapping of the posts. Highly recommend and would employ them again if needed."

"Carlos and his team were amazing! Carlos gave me a fair quote up front and explained what was and was not included in his price so we both knew what to expect. I had a lot of water damage on one portion of my house that was unseen during the original quote. Carlos stopped work showed me the issues and gave me a quote for that work that was fair. Carlos was on site every day to check the work his crew was doing, answer any questions I had and give me an update on progress. Not only would I recommend Carlos to friends and family, I already have him hired for another job I need done and will use him for any carpentry, painting or other house work I need done. He even gave me a great recommendation for gutter installation guys."

"The entire job from start to finish took three months... not bad for a hundred year old house. Plumbing and electric work was very reliable. They also have a very talented woodworker who was able to reuse much of the original wood to repair a window sill, trim, and baseboard. Whenever we had any concerns they were addressed promptly and to our satisfaction. They also had a beautiful selection of cabinets and granite counter tops to choose from. We would absolutely use them again. Very happy with the outcome."

"Larry Devaux did an excellent job on my stairs, despite a short period and quick deadline that i gave him. He worked very hard each day and put a lot of effort and detail into making my stairs look really nice, and he gave a very fair price as well. I would recommend Larry for any home improvement needs"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Belmont, 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.
