"Kingsport -Excellent service. David went above and beyond to help me with my project on rebuilding both my decks, when I was not sure exactly what direction to take he took the time to talk through my options and listened when I had suggestions on what I wanted and worked diligently to make them happen. I appreciate him listening to my actual needs and not just trying to tell me what he thought I needed. He also took the time to answer any questions I had along the way and put my mind at ease that the project would be done to my satisfaction. I would 100% use his service again in the future. He also installed a new back door as well which was above my initial request. Hands down excellent quality work!"

"Randy and his team at Carroll Development are respectful, trustworthy, and reliable. I cannot speak highly enough of this team, and they come with my highest recommendation for all home improvement/repair. For us, Carroll Development did a renovation of our garage, master bathroom, and living room. The entire project lasted about 8 weeks, but I never once felt as if I was in the middle of a renovation. Every aspect of the project was meticulously handled care and appreciation."

"Wonderful! Tomas and Jose are VERY hard workers, very reliable, very thorough, very reasonable priced, and know their stuff! We had looked at the reviews on Angies List as well as from a neighbor., all excellent, and well deserved. We started out getting a quote both decks and pressure washing the house. Tomas responded quickly. We gave him the go ahead but not to start for several weeks, since my husband wanted to do some deck repairs himself, first and we also let him know that after that our timing was flexible, since we are both retired. He checked in with us several times to see how the progress was going on our side, which took us longer than expected, and once we had the repairs done, he and his team came out very promptly to do the pressure washing, fitting it in between other jobs. They did an excellent job both on the house and on prepping the deck. A week or so later they came out to stain the deck and, again did an excellent, and very thorough job. A freak rain cam up after they had just finished the second coat, they covered the deck, but came out 2 days later, once it was clear again, to check on it, and then did a third coat with due to the rain, but stuck to the original quote. After seeing what a great job they did, we asked for an estimate on painting the shed, a swing, and the door trim on the house. Again, a very reasonable price and an excellent job. Note that the best way to contact Tomas is via text message to his cell phone. We would use them again for any project around the house, they are very versatile. And, as I found out too late - we had hired someone else - they also do roofing."

"We removed carpet from bedroom and the 70+ year old boards underneath were cupped. Randall was able to sand the floor smooth. Due to the cold weather, we had an issue with dust settling in the polyurethane before it was dry. Randall resanded/recoated. Now the floors look like new."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Johnson City, TN

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.
