"Micah did a superb job. He replaced the top railing around our deck railing. Repaired and painted several inside and outside doors. He painted our laundry room the precise color of our kitchen. Micah was professional and demonstrated good attention to detail. He even hired some helpers in order to get the jobs done on time. I will hire him again."

"Fine and I paid the quoted amount until we were called weeks later and said we didn’t pay enough money. I received this call from an older gentleman twice. I assured him I paid what was quoted. That was four years ago."

"Strongly recommend asking for breakdown of quoted price to ensure you understand what you are paying for. After the job was completed it was communicated that $250 of a $600 job was for gas. It took about 3 hour to repair a fence where old wood was used (wood that was previously removed). My fault for not asking for a quote breakdown prior to securing the job. Had we known this.. I would have pursued other options. Lesson learned. Thanks."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Hanceville, AL

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.
