He is honest about next steps, even spotting mold and foundation concerns and recommending a specialist before proceeding, which saved me money. Kris is a dedicated family man who stepped up to help his own community during the Nashville freeze storm. If you are evaluating a handyman, call Kris first you will be impressed from the start. "

"I could not have been more impressed by Jason. He contacted me almost immediately after I emailed him (and on a Sunday). He was super responsive, on time, extremely professional, efficient, and did an excellent job. We need several things done around our house including mirror removal/drywall repair, shelves built and installed, and a new deadbolt added. Jason got to work right away and checked in with me throughout the process to make sure I was happy. He was friendly and easy to work with and we are so happy to have found him. We will definitely use him again in the future."

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

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.
