"Milt is very detail oriented, which is exactly what we needed. Didn’t just finish our cabinets, he picked up where the contractor we let go left off and did the job right. Clear communication and quality work are the norm from his team. When we ran into issues, he came up with solutions that gave us what we were looking for. Definitely made the experience better."

"Hogan and his crew did an outstanding job replacing our old wood deck with a new composite one. Hogan was very knowledgeable and helped us pick the right deck for us. The timing of completion and the cost was excellent. We are very pleased and highly recommend him and his crew for deck replacement."

"The work was done well. Clayton was innovated in creating a gate under my deck. He would suggest the most cost effective materials. He communicated throughout the process and kept his work area clean. If there is anything he is not great on the paperwork undercuts himself in pricing. I highly recommend him"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Kansas City, KS

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.
