Customers say: Quick response

"I needed someone to repair sheetrock and flooring due to water damage. They came promptly to give me an estimate and then got right to work on the project to compete it quickly because I was in a time crunch. They did a great job and left everything clean and in its place. I would certainly hire them again."

"They were very professional and efficient. They did the house repairs requested but missed the details (did not use finishing nails on kitchen cabinet trim and used screws to attach ceiling edge molding, paint mess not fully cleaned up - things that had to be redone by someone else later). The cost for an extra hour of labor was - $75, more than seemed appropriate given the quality of the work performed."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Gretna, LA

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.
