"I cannot say enough good things about Rich and his work. I was coming off a disastrous experience with the previous contractor who left my stair railing project in shambles. Rich (R.D. Hopkins GC) presented his remedy with for the job with confidence and followed through with a completed job that was even better than I had hoped for. He is professional, friendly, extremely respectful of my home and surroundings, amazingly neat and tidy and above all delivered exactly what he promised. I would not hesitate to recommend Rich (and his lovely helper Steve) to work on your home project in any of his areas of expertise. I am a happy camper :D"

"Very well. The salesman was very professional; not pushy and didn't sell his company by putting other companies down. The installer was on time, courteous, professional and completed the work neatly and quickly."

"A complete and thorough power washing was completed the day prior to the painting. Then the next day a team came and worked all morning and afternoon painting the entire house using high quality Sherwin Williams elastomeric paint. I could not have been happier with how my house now looks and it was all done at a very reasonable price."

"Removed old shower pan that was leaking and installed new one with tile. The tile looks great but they did a poor job of housekeeping at end of job and also didn't cover up tile holes when they re-installed our shower door. When I complained about this I was assured it was an easy fix and that they'd come back to cover 'next week', but that was in February and I haven't heard from them since. I guess they ran out of garbage bags and tried to fit all debris (~200 lbs) into 1 garbage bag that was then drug across my porch, yard, and driveway, scraping all up in the process. The garbage company wouldn't take since it was too heavy to lift, and I ended up needing to transfer to 4 contractor bags to make lift able. I was very happy with crew through the first few days but left on a bad note and also didn't get a professional follow-up when Ralph said he'd fix the holes."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Kennett Square, PA

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.
