"Michael Perez of Cloudland Reflections LLC was excellent to work with. We hired him to build a railing and stairs to our front door and sunporch and stain them to match our fence. We had concerns about the structure of our interior sunporch which Michael agreed to give an estimate separately (once he opened up the flooring). All work was done in a professional manner and for a reasonable price. I highly recommend Cloudland Reflections!"

"Everything MAE Contracting told about what was going to happen when building a ground deck, didn't. He was very untruthful, had no license at the time, did not get a permit, broke almost every state building code and laws, delivered a whole lot of damaged composite without our knowledge, then tried to hide the fact. The worst part was Colin Peterson from Home Depot made a deal with my husband and I to receive $4,000 back for the damaged materials, which we still have, and Michael Garcia put our money in his pocket and laughed. This is according to his contractor, Craig, who he also cheated out of his last paycheck. Come on Angi you can do way better. People are on to the false high reviews. Why don't you post an honest review for a change and stop removing the negative posts."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Dousman, WI

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.
