"We are very satisfied with the new composite deck and cable railing installed by Bugle Construction. The finished product has exceeded our expectations! Mike was easy to work with from doing site survey and understanding what we wanted to have done, to providing an estimate and providing status of schedule to having crew on site. The install team of Bo (team lead), Cody, Jared & Chris did an excellent job with demolition of the old deck, repairing some water damage since the old deck did not contain any flashing to getting the new deck installed. We were warned ahead of time to expect some water damage due to lack of flashing. It was not as bad as it could have been. Bo was great to work with, answered any questions we had, explained what was being done & why, and was open to suggestions, etc. It was a collaborative process. He promised weâ d have a deck before July 4 and we did. Friends and neighbors who have seen the new deck are very impressed! I would highly recommend this company!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Cataldo, ID

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.
