"I highly recommend James Monroe Construction. They recently did some painting for us. They also made some repairs to some of our sheetrock and wallpaper. They did an awesome job. It looks great. They are professional and respectful. I will hire them again."

"Justin is one of the most reliable handyman we have found since moving to the Hattiesburg, MS area. Justin was punctual and had great communication skills. He was good at letting me know he was on his way. When I met up with him to purchase supplies he had already started gathering up what he needed before I got there. Then he made sure I knew what was on his cart was what we agreed too. Justin has great time management. When he told me it would take three days to do the job that is exactly what it took. He was good about picking up his mess everyday before he left and was gone before my husband was home from work. We did not have to deal with construction in the evening. Justin does quality work at a fair price. We cant imagine anyone else doing our handyman work."

"Eric serviced and repaired my washer and dryer. The whole process was A+! He was extremely prompt in calling with a quote and scheduling service and was very communicative regarding my appointment and the progress in repairs. He made some significant suggestions that I should pay attention to so I can keep my appliances in top shape. I'm thankful for his tips because otherwise, the matters he addressed could have potentially been a disaster to not only my appliances but also to my home (ex: fire hazard). He even wore a mask the whole time to safeguard against COVID concerns. He is a great person to get the job done in a quality manner and at a fair price. Eric goes above and beyond! I will definitely be using his services again!!"

Job was done on the date promised, in the time span estimated and at the price quoted. The two man team properly braced the porch roof before tearing the old column out. They built the new column on site. The team removed all tear down debris as well as the trash from the construction phase (a really big plus in my book since I have had other contractors leave their trash for me to clean up.) The contractor asked for a deposit before they began and the balance after the work was completed. I marked them down on punctuality since they told me that they would be here at 9:00 but it was 90 minutes later before they arrived and another 30 minutes before they started work. As I said above, the work completion was promised for the end of the day and they met that.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Laurel, MS

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.
