"Rich gave a comprehensive estimate, came on time and did excellent work. He suggested a fix to an unexpected development (closet doors purchased were not quite wide enough). He went beyond expectations by painting the walls on either side of the new doors. He worked 2 days and did a great job cleaning up after each day. We already have talked with him about our next projects."

"We were very happy with the work completed by Leon Home Repairs. They were efficient and thorough. The work included installing a new countertop, sink, faucet,, and light fixture in one bathroom and painting the bathroom; removing painted wallpaper from one large wall and smoothing and painting the wall; replacing one set of bifold closet doors and trimming off and adjusting multiple other sets so they would operate smoothly; and replacing large window panels and the door in our front entryway. Dimas, who served as the foreman for the work on our house, also smelled gas in our utility closet and on his own initiative, figured out where the gas leak was and showed us, so we could call someone to come repair that. The team had an excellent range of skills and knowledge to tackle the variety of work we needed them to do. We will definitely call Leon Home Repairs again if we need more work done in the future."

"I recently hired Adam Custom Interior Designs and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Communication was inconsistent from the beginning, and I often had to follow up multiple times just to get updates on my project. Timelines that were discussed were not met, and there was little proactive explanation about the delays. The quality of the finished work did not meet my expectations, especially considering the price. Some details appeared rushed, and I felt my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed professionally. Customer service goes a long way in this industry, and I did not feel valued as a client. Overall, I would not recommend this company based on my experience. I expected professionalism, transparency, and quality craftsmanship, and sadly, I did not receive that. "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Fuquay Varina, 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.
