"Ben was great. Punctual and professional - gave me a fair price for the work I needed done. Wasn’t a big job but required an experienced carpenter to install wood floating shelves over a tile backsplash between cabinets. Very excellent work and it looks great!"

"The glass display shelves that were hung look great. We also had wood shelves cut and wood supports installed in a bathroom linen closet. My only complaint is some of the staples/nails are exposed in a visible spot."

"Unfortunately, we never received an estimate. He showed up promptly on April 25 and took a look at the work to be done (railing and stairs). He gave us some good ideas and said we should receive an estimate the following week. As of May 17 we still have not received anything and we are not sure what happened"

"The work was well planned and completed on time. Ariel is a professional contractor with a lot of experience and great at communicating. The mason on my retaining wall was an expert and meticulous. I have recommended Lifetime Construction to my friends and family."

"Our service tech, Rob, showed up even before the scheduled time, and got to work immediately after me showing him our problem. He readily fixed our sliding patio door, and went on to do another repair that was needed. In addition, I showed him a couple of other items that I have been thinking of having done. He took photos and said to contact Ace Handyman Services if I decided to proceed. Rob was very personable, professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. I found Ace Handyman Services on line and emailed them. I received a call the next morning, and had the work scheduled for that afternoon. Would highly recommend. In these times of subpar service providers, this was a breath of fresh air. Would definitely use again."

"Dustin was great to work with. Showed up on time, had creative solutions to our porch issues and executed them on time and on budget. The work site was left spotless and he checked back to make sure there were no lingering issues."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Hopkins, MN

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.
