"I could not have been happier with the service. Miguel was friendly, very competent, accommodating and respectful. Amy was great for scheduling. Miguel was on time and put up a street mailbox to my wife's glee. We will definitely reuse this service for our future needs. My highest recommendation."

"Shawn did an excellent job replacing and installing vinyl skirting in the back of my mother’s mobile home. He also replaced boards around her shed. Both jobs were a job well done and he didn’t break the bank. I knew I wanted to hire Shawn at the time of the free estimate. He took out his measuring tape, measured, and looked at the project, stated what needed to be done with replacing the skirting, and sent the proposal. I signed and he did an excellent job. I would have Shawn again to do future projects."

"Todd was wonderful to work with. He arranged for the electrical and plumbing work that needed to be done. He had the old cabinets removed in a day and within a few days the new ones were in. When he left at the end of the day everything was cleaned up and he arrived when he said he would. I will definitely use his services again."

"Joe repaired 3 sections of our curb that were broken in a couple hours. Also said he would come back to smooth out concrete if it appeared to need it when settling. So far work looks good."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Lee, NH

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.
