"We have been so impressed with Paul Daniels and his crew! They have done beautiful work quickly and at a very reasonable cost. They completely remodeled our kitchen and baths, replaced the basement paneling with drywall, painted the whole house and garage and stained our deck, power washed the exterior and much more. Paul and Tim have a real vision for remodeling and thought of so many things we hadn’t - removing walls, moving support poles, etc. They made sure we were happy with every detail and we will definitely work with them in the future!"

"It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. There was an issue with it and I got a refund for it. I called them and they said they had already come when I wasn't home. They said they inspected it and I needed all this repair work. There wasn't any evidence that they had been there to inspect my roof. You would have to get up on a ladder and there was no sign they had been there. The gutters hadn't been touched. I didn't believe they had actually been there. I felt they were selling me a package that they could sell to anybody. I didn't feel like I got anything for the purchase so I got a refund for it. They didn't do what they claimed they did."

"Dustin did an excellent job or repairing/replacing a couple of sections of my privacy fence that had been damaged by a big limb that broke off my tree. It looks great, fits perfectly even though he had to deal with lots of large above-ground roots. Handyman Connection's office also was very helpful providing additional information and details so my insurance realized the additional work that was needed."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Charlestown, IN

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.
