"Leo and Ben built a new deck and railings for my front porch. They did a beautiful job from start to finish, and the project turned out exactly as I had hoped. They are such hard workers-started at 9 on the first day of the heat wave, and didnâ t stop till 7 that evening, came back the next day and finished up. I highly recommend them."

"I can highly recommend J Plus Construction after the excellent work they did in transforming my wildly overgrown grass into a beautifully trimmed lawn surrounding my house. Two men worked tirelessly for approximately two hours and did everything I needed to be done with care and attention to my requests. I highly recommend this company."

"The job went excellent. Shay repaired about 100 lineal feet of fencing that had blown down. He placed new posts in new concrete. Did all new framing and even got me a great deal on the fence boards from a local supplier rather than paying over double at the big box stores. He really cares about doing a great job and is meticulous and makes sure everything is done right instead of trying to rush through it. I woukd absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for work done around their home or property. I'll be hiring him to rebuild my deck this spring as well!"

"Custom Wood Connections worked with me to design a custom deck solution for a tight set of parameters. This small deck was under budget, used some recycled materials, and took longer to solve some unexpected problems we encountered. The result was sturdy, elegant in a practical way rather than polished on the surface and cheap underneath."

"Manny and his team were competent, conscientious, and at all times professional and friendly. We described the shower transformation we wanted, the floor tile pattern, and the backsplash change, and they delivered precisely what we asked for. For a relatively small up-charge they even hung the custom shower doors we purchased, which saved us considerable money. I can easily recommend NW Highland."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Ferndale, WA

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.
