"John is an honest professional. He came and looked at our project and brought issues to our attention. He wanted to give us a quote for demo and repairs first and then help us determine the next steps of the renovation within our budget. We highly recommend John. A timing issue was the only reason we did not hire him."

"They did a great job on changing my outdated Oak kitchen cabinets to a distressed, off white color. It was a total transformation. They worked to match the color I wanted and took all my suggestions and comments and made my kitchen look more custom and updated. They were professional, clean and on time. You get what you pay. Instead of using a fly-by-night/undependable person or company, I suggest you hire NHance of Mechanicsburg if you want the job done and done to your satisfaction. I will hire them again for other wood work jobs in the future."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Enola, PA

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.
