"Flaviu is an outstanding craftsman. He rebuilt the front stairs to our home from scratch. His work is beautiful. He chose the best boards (few knots) and created perfect, smooth seams. Where our cement was uneven, he managed to make the steps perfectly level. In addition, he is polite, punctual, professional, charming. If the back stair case ever needs repair, I'll call him!"

"Charles came to give an estimate soon after we talked and was able to do my repair the next day. We are very satisfied with the work he did and will hire him again for another project that he looked at and told me what to do to get the materials so he could replace only the broken part of windows. Appreciate his work!!"

"Michael is very professional in all phases of his work.  He was always responsive and punctual.  His estimates were clear and well written - easy to follow.  Changes in scope of work were accommodated and priced fairly.  The quality of his woodworking was very good and his painting was excellent.  He was neat and cleaned up each day. The price for his work was in the middle of the estimates we received.  We have already recommended him to a neighbor looking for some work to be done."

"I really, really don't want to tell people about Old World Carpentry because I want to keep James all to myself. He's that good. He is incredibly responsive and he communicates, which is difficult to find in most contractors. He takes his time and is detail-oriented. He finds pleasure in restoring what's old so it looks new. I truly want to keep finding projects for him to do so we can keep him busy and not have to share him. Alas...I suppose someone else can have him for a week or two."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in La Grange, IL

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.
