"They communicated what they were going to do, asked clarifying questions when needed, and proceeded with the job as requested. The stairs look AWESOME! I wish we would have got them done years ago. We get complements on them all the time. Thank you Jim and Russ!"

"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."

"We purchased an older home in Trestle Glen a few years back knowing that at some point we'd either have to move or bite the bullet and replace the old, worn out rear deck. After putting aside some money we started calling up contractors, and from the moment we met Todd we knew were going to be in good hands. He's been extremely responsive via text and email and was a pleasure to work with throughout the course of our four-month project. This job was particularly tough due to the tight street access and severely downsloped lot. Todd and his crew had a tough job to pull off, but their craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing to see in the finished product. The scope of services included pouring a rebar reinforced grade beam with 8' drilled footings (during a very wet March) and erecting a three-story ~700 sq ft deck with stairs and a landing, all at about 40' below street level. Todd showed a huge amount of patience during the drawn-out owner-builder permitting process (Oakland zoning laws are no joke!) and with the bombproof, slightly overdesigned drawing set prepared by our structural engineer. The site was kept clean and the extremely professional and talented two-man crew who pulled this off (Forrest and Osmond) were as unobtrusive as they could be while drilling holes through the exterior of our house. We've had a great experience overall and I'd hire him and his crew for any home improvement project! P.S. -- the attached photo is from the last week of work before cleanup so don't mind the sawhorses."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Emeryville, CA

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.
