"The finished cabinet is beautiful! It takes wasted space and makes it useful as well as attractive. It really enhances my living room. J&D came out to measure and got me a drawing and estimate promptly. I liked the fact that they used plywood, not MDF, for the sides and genuine wood for the doors. After I selected them to do the work they took time to make sure we were on the same page for the design, even stopping by an additional time with a door sample to make sure it was going to turn out the way I wanted. I wanted the cabinet painted, not stained, and their painters did a fantastic job. Everyone working in my house took a lot of care to make sure the house was clean when they left and the furniture was back in the right spot."

"Wilfrido installed built-in cabinets and shelving in our newly remodeled kitsch pantry. He did a fantastic job. His workmanship is clearly shown in his product. No wood filler or caulk was used in construction, just time and careful cuts."

"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.
