"Bandit, my 7-year-old cat has been an indoor/outdoor kitty his entire life. Last year, he was injured twice in a short period of time - once seriously. He was no longer able to live outside. Because he has had so much freedom, I wanted him to still have access to the outdoors. I researched options and learned that a catio would do the trick. Next, I contacted several local contractors through Angi network. Curtis was the most responsive, respectful to me, asked a lot of questions to be sure he understood what I wanted, provided a detailed plan for the work, and a reasonable quote. He and his crew had it built within a week. I think it turned out great. Curtis was able to build it so that the existing kitty door could be used and Bandit is able to come and go at will. He is now a very happy and safe kitty. He loves to sit in the highest spot and survey the world especially at night. I get a good night's sleep knowing he is safe. Thank you Curtis. "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Grants Pass, OR

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.
