"Excellent work. Jon B is super friendly, easy to work with, and "gets" what it is we need and want. We are thrilled with his execution of the stairs which look very artistic and fit in with the setting. We would rehire him instantly. We actually had him do a deck and front door canopy in 2016 which everyone continues to admire. A fabulous contractor !!!!"

"We had a simple straight forward stairs tht we wanted new and simple. Simple wood, vertical pieces and a wood rail running down. Wood, 2-300 dollars and rest of $3,000 profit. They seemed to want to make it very complex and it didn't have to be. I've done stuff around the house in my sixty years and I might tackle this job myself and pay myself $3,000."

"The hope chest belonged to my mother and was finished in a very dark stain so the wood grain and color was unrecognizable. Ken stripped the chest and refinished it in a clear finish so that the walnut wood showed off its beauty and workmanship. We were amazed at the transformation and now proudly display this chest as a finished piece of furniture. The entire project was completed in less than two weeks to our surprise. Thanks to Memory Menders for their workmanship and great customer relations."

"They were very professional, courteous and prompt. We are very satisfied with their hard work! Eugene went one step further and put a brand new hand railing on the stairs as we are elderly and it was unsafe. Thank you. We will hire them again."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Gig Harbor, 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.
