"It went very well. I called on Saturday and talked with David, it was arranged they would come by on Monday and fix the step between 9-11, they were actually there a few minutes early and finished within 2 hours, including a trip to get materials needed."

"As an addition/ clarification of my previous review. The work is finally finished, and I am completely pleased with the workmanship and the installation. My major concern was difficulty in communication and the flexible work schedule. But, if you are patient, the quality of the work is good."

"Dan Montgomery from Doors and More and his female companion did an excellent job in moving the recliners. They called before they came, went right to work, and planned the job to move the recliners within a tight space expeditiously taking care not to damage anything. They were reasonably priced. To my pleasant surprise they came the same day I called. Whenever I have another job to get done I will definitely call them again. I recommend them highly."

"Kaleb helped me remodel an investment property and I can’t say enough good about him and his work. He took the time to fully understand my vision prior to starting. He was detailed with his bidding and clear with his communication. Kaleb has excellent work ethic and was very trustworthy. The project came out great! I would use Kaleb again!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Carlyle, IL

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.
