"I would highly recommend Jeff (Grizzly Construction). He replaced our the decking rails on our cabin's front porch and decked the bottom of the pavilion. He got the job done very quickly and gave us the best price for the job. The new rails look wonderful, and now we can use our pavilion (was nothing but dirt before). VERY HAPPY!"

"Renovate decks and install composite deck boards. Install new aluminum railing We hired Nate based on the recommendations on this site. Everything that was said about him was true. He is honest, personable, works hard and communicates very well. If he said he be here at 9 he was usually early. The job encompassed a large deck and about 180 feet of railing. Nate was very meticulous and the job looks great. I plan on using him in the future."

Customers say: Quality work

"David and his crew did an awesome job!! I will use them again with some future projects. Totally professional and outstanding service! They rebuilt my deck and added some much needed stairs down to the lower floor. They also fixed a window on the upper deck. David listened to what we wanted and even came up with some better ideas that we were able to incorporate into the design of the deck that made it look even better . He is truly a professional who cares about the quality of his work and making people happy."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Franklin, 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.
