"I can't even begin to tell you how grateful we are for Odd Jobs Willie! They are our heroes! I'll explain why but first let me say this... Dave (owner) is the most incredible construction manager/business owner you will be fortunate to find here on the Emerald Coast (or anywhere in my experience). He has brought together the best of the best in all the specialties from framers, painters, plumbers, electricians, to cabinet builders, floor experts and drywall hangers! Matt, Micki, Josh, Terry and Russell are masters of their crafts and equally committed to communication with the homeowner at each step, to ensure they are doing exactly what the owner's vision might be. They do not hesitate to remind you that their goal is to make you happy. And those are not just empty words. It truly is their goal. So let me tell you why Odd Jobs are our heroes. We had been through two contractors in 6 months and were only about 20 % finished with the remodel in our home. The first contractor took all o"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Fort Walton Beach, FL

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.
