The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

I have been working in the construction and remodelling service industry for the last 6 years and have worked all over the U.S. which has allowed me to gain much knowledge in different fields. My goal is to make sure that my clients are taken care of as if they were family, and to give them the services and customer care they deserve. As a client and as a service provider with years of experience, I have learned that almost every professional can perform the work, but not everyone can give good customer care. Here is where I come in. I pride myself in consistently showing my clients that with me, they are in the best of hands, both professionally and personally.

"All three projects went very well. This company is totally professional and kept me informed of the progress at all times. Project manager made sure all went well and kept in touch. I was informed of any changes. The work was superb. All the subs did a great job and made sure they cleaned up the area worked on before they left, Their subs suggested even better ways to finish projects. We had this company do remodeling on a house we owned 20 years ago. Went back to them based on their earlier performance. Was glad we had them again do work for us."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Columbia, MO

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.
