Customers say: True professional

"When we bought our house we needed to completely replace the carpeting with laminate flooring before we could move in. Pat helped us get everything handled quickly and the floors came out looking great. He was very knowledgeable about the process and we will definitely be working with him again for other home improvement projects."

"Great! Ricardo and the team were timely, professional and did great work. We have an older house with some tricky repairs and the crew was able to make the repairs, match the stain and they look great. We paid extra for the "dustless" service - well worth it to keep 99% of the dust out of the existing living spaces - but we still used plastic to seal off the living spaces as an added precaution. Whole job was done in under 3 days."

"Beautiful job! Painted the outside of our entire house. Old clapboard had to be stripped down to the wood. Lots of trim work using different colors. Plaster experts! They repair plaster and paint it. Excellent job on the interior rooms. Very reasonable pricing. Everything was left clean and neat."

"Jonathan and Jerson did a fantastic job on our porch. We didn't mean to spend as much as we did but we own an old house that needs a lot of work and the porch was no exception. They are extremely knowledgeable and the many suggestions and solutions they recommended were spot on. They ended up adding knew structure beams, new composite columns, new railings, painting the porch ceiling, replacing the soffits and refinishing the mahogany floors. We love our new porch and many neighbors walking by stop to complement the renovation. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Cold Spring, NY

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.
