"Tony from ASAP Handyman did an outstanding job replacing our front stairs. Not only was the service inexpensive, but it was also completed in a timely manner. Tony's attention to detail was impressive, and he ensured that the area was cleaned up after the job was done. I highly recommend Tony and ASAP Handyman for any home improvement needs."

"Mack and his family were professional and helpful. Mack repaired badly rotted fascias and soffits, re-built dental molding, and re-installed gutters, using superior materials to what was there before. The work was completed quickly and efficiently, and the cost didn't break the bank. Can't recommend them enough: good people, good service, good work, and good prices! Thank you, Handymack."

"We had Fred to paint our kitchen cabinets, entire interior of our house and exterior trims. We also replaced all gutters and repaired some rot woods during that process. Fred removed our gas fireplace and replaced with electric. He also poured concrete walkway. He removed carpet from our stairway and installed oak wood and stained it. He was punctual and very easy to work with. He finished the project on time, and we are very happy with the works he done for us. We strongly recommend Fred and use him for our future projects."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Lawrenceville, GA

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.
