"Geo and his team recently performed exterior repair work on my home to fix rotting wood along corners and gables. The work was extensive and very detailed. The work was thorough and of the highest quality. We were extremely happy and satisfied with the repairs Geo and his crew performed. The work wasn’t easy, the front of the house sits on a tall sloping hill where ladders need to go. His team handled this wonderfully and kept the landscaping intact. From the initial estimate until the final walk-through Geo was courteous and professional and gave meaningful suggestions about which materials to use and where the issues were. It felt more like a close collaboration than just some “contractors”. It was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be using Geo again for future projects."

"Hired for a Deck replacement and Gutters based on their 5 Star reviews. Gutters look great, No complaints there. Now the deck, Did not like the fact they used our plastic cart to mix the concrete without even asking us (cart now lined with concrete), I would think a General Contractors crew would know to at least take the plastic tags off the ends of the wood (where deck lines house you can see plastic tags on all the ends).. Several places where they nailed railing you can visibly see they missed a lot of supports (wish I could post pictures). The staining looks terrible (I believe its from staining over wet wood... From a distance the Deck doesn't look that bad, but when on the Deck it certainly isn't a 5 star worthy job. Really wanted to give a good review, But have to give an honest one instead."

"The work that Leon Home repairs did was fantastic. They were so kind and understanding to my wife. They were always on time or I would get a call explaining why. This rarely happened though. Their work was top quality and I intend to use them to repair anything in the future on my home. Very Professional and top quality."

"I had some major exterior painting to do as well as caulking cracks in the soffit. They power-washed the house, did the painting and caulking in 1 1/2 days. In addition I asked Victor to see if the front porch railings could be replaced. He provided two quotes; 1 for wooden railing and one for iron. The railings were done in 6 hours. Excellent work"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Durham, NC

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.
