"Juan did a beautiful job of my staircase remodel. His attention to detail is impeccable and he knows his trade expertly. He was very communicative about everything and there was no hidden items that ever came up. He showed up and completed the work exactly when he said and in every detail as discussed. His pricing was extremely reasonable, and fair. I am looking at quotes from him for more flooring work may have as welI. He would be my preference to hire again."

"Let me start off by saying that I was "That Guy" that needed a miracle. We have been remodeling our house and have done a lot of projects ourselves. We were in the middle of this project when all of a sudden my wife finds a house and we put money down. Our timeline was very short. We had 2 days to get our house ready. J&D Woodwork were 3 of 18 (and I am not exaggerating ) companies that even called me back. 1 was very slow to respond to me, and one wouldn't answer calls (would only text. Very unprofessional) David and his team were in one day and started the very next day. He was booked out, but was able to move some things around, and knock out the project. They say you cant have a good price, quality work, and fast all at the same time. These guys proved that to be wrong. I got all of it! In our new home we will be putting in pergola and will be using J&D Woodwork. We will refer them out to everyone that we can. I promise, you will not regret hiring these guys! I can't say it enough!"

"Dennis did a fabulous job of replacing the base of my kitchen sink cabinet. He was prompt, professional and his work was very reasonably priced. He actually made it look better than when I purchased the house 4 years ago. The former owner had a leak, and the base had warped a bit. Unfortunately, another leak occurred a month or so ago and the base had to be replaced. He matched the base to the existing interior wood sides of the cabinet; it looks brand new. Great job! Will use this company in the future."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Houston, TX

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.
