"Orest came to the home to see what was needed, gave me an estimate, and came to do the work the next day! His communication was excellent, and his work was outstanding! He repaired a broken handrail and added matching supports to the other rail. Orest rook the upstairs banister apart to make it secure and reinforced the downstairs banister, as well. By the time the work was finished, all the handrails and banisters were rock solid, and better than the day the house was built! I highly recommend Forest Flooring for their skill and craftsmanship, attention to detail and customer service!"

My name is Gabriel Taylor. I attended Colombia College with a Bachelor of Arts. Upon graduation, i entered the advertising world fabricating models and props for t.v. and print ads. My knowledge of tools expanded greatly. Having always been handy, this fine tuning of shop skills led me to realize that there's much more job availability in home repair/ remodeling/ etc. Now, with 25 years of experience under my thumb, there is little that i haven't come across in the world of trade work. From electrical, carpentry, plumbing, painting, locksmithing, tile, etc., i always deliver quality results with a strong artistic awareness and touch. Caring for the customers wants and needs is primary. I believe in giving them exactly what i would want in a skilled worker in my home. Kindness, honesty, cleanliness, reliability, and quality results.

"The work was perfect. Marcin was punctual, polite, and paid meticulous attention to detail. Work area was well protected and cleaned at the end of each day. Design advice was given (iron vs. wood balusters). I would definitely hire this company again."

"I hired Professional Home Improvement for a siding job and was so pleased with the work and response from the company that I hired them to rebuild the wooden deck in my backyard. After replacing the siding panels that were leaking, Mal had his crew caulk all of the other siding panels around the house to ensure that we didn't see the same type of problem elsewhere. For the deck rebuild, Mal sent me pictures of various railing styles for the new deck and did a beautiful job of rebuilding the deck to match. Mal is likable and reachable and was very easy to work with on both projects which were done for a reasonable price, in a reasonable timeframe and they came out great. Mal provided regular communication with pictures as each job progressed. I strongly recommend Professional Home Improvement."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Great Lakes, IL

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.
