"Mr. Handyman of Canton and Woodstock has provided me with literally thousands of dollars of work over the last couple of months, ranging from cabinet building/repairing, painting, plumbing (removing and installing new vanities in bathrooms), drywall repair, installing new light fixtures, carpentry work (cutting and installing wainscoting/judges panels), and even installing suspended storage racks in my garage. The quality of their work is outstanding, with the form, fit and finish at the highest level. For that reason, I keep going back to them over and over again to complete my next list of "honey-do" projects. I am particularly impressed with Rick Grooms, whose skills and experience across all the "trades" are at the craftsman level. Moreover, Rick is a pleasure to work with in that he has a very pleasant and warm personality, a professional attitude, and a customer-focused desire to please his clients. I would very strongly recommend Mr. Handyman of Canton and Woodstock!"

"We originally hired him for landscaping, and over time he’s become our go-to home repair guy as well. He recently installed new lighting and automated fan modules integrated into our smart home system, and everything works seamlessly. Scheduling was quick and easy, and he showed up when he said he would and got the job done promptly. He’s versatile, reliable, and clearly takes pride in his work. Four stars!!"

"Sam did an amazing job on my window and door replacement, which required the repair of rotted wood for both. Sam was very thorough and I could definitely tell that he has been doing this for years based on the quality of his work. He was very professional and always on time. Everything looks amazing. I will definitely use him for other repair work and upgrades in the future."

"We hired Dallas to install french doors and did a great job. We also hired him to remove and replace our daughter's floor on her front porch with tile, and did demo and repair in her back deck, that included stepping stones, woodworking, painting, and hung lights, and did a very good job. He also built 8 pressure treated benches for us, asked for input for the 1st one, and completed the rest that were perfect for the use."

"I hired Azael to mount my TV and I was thrilled with how it came out. It was a 70inch TV over the fireplace, and he did a great job. Communication leading up to the job was smooth, he was very professional and knew what he was doing. He went above and beyond and made sure everything was done right. The whole process was efficient and stress-free for me. Overall was a great experience and I would highly recommend Azael to anyone looking for high-quality help with work around the house. I know I will be hiring him again in the future! "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Cartersville, GA

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.
