"He was fantastic! I hired this company to replace all baseboards and door casings. He did the job perfectly, showed up when he said he would be here, and cleaned up after himself. I would highly recommend this company."

"I had the outside of my house re-sided (vinyl) and could not be more pleased. George and his crew are very good at their jobs, and completed the work on time. I also needed some trim around the windows replaced, and all of the window trim repainted, they were able to do everything I needed. I mentioned to George that I was thinking about getting a new roof, he told me the old one will last a few more years - I really appreciated the honest assessment. I will call R.Wright the next time I need any home renovation."

"Punctuality and professionalism are key for me, and Bergen Co delivers on both every time. I call them for issues I can’t fix myself, from installing a ceiling fan to fixing a leaky pipe. Bergen Co arrives exactly when scheduled and gets straight to work. They are very polite and make sure everything is installed correctly and safely. I appreciated their efficiency and respect for my home. They are fair and affordable."

Hi there! I have about 9 years of experience with home remodeling, house flips, and currently I am focused more on carpentry (custom closets, interior/exterior trim, etc.) and flooring. I am still open to most home repair needs. I am new to Angi, but feel free to check out some photos of my work in the project photos. I am also willing to share more photos. Feel free to email me at JMDhomeservices1@gmail.com or call/text at 3179032308. Thanks!

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Lawrence, IN

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.
