"First class knowledge of tasks associated with gutter and soffit repair. Thorough explanation of work with a detailed estimate and kept us well informed of schedule (had to accommodate changing weather). We were impressed with the quality of Josiahs work and his attention to detail. In addition, he was pleasant and interesting to talk with."

"These guys were amazing! It probably wouldn’t seem like a big deal if you needed repair work on your mailbox, you call Angie’s List and they send someone out to fix it. Actually it was a very big deal to me! I have a physical disability that limits what I can and cannot do. Plus I am the soul caregiver for my dad who’s 84 and has dementia so when something goes wrong or needs repair I need the problem solved asap. That’s when D & D Home Repair & Remodels comes to my aid and what they did wasn’t good, it was great! They went above and beyond for me! They could have slapped the mailbox back together and I wouldn’t have even known about it (until it fell apart within a couple of days). They went and bought brand new parts and didn’t even charge me! I really, really appreciated what these guys did for me! Their mothers raised them right and for that, I’m grateful!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Lancaster, KY

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.
