David Vatter, a self-employed carpenter and contractor for the past 18 years is always looking for the next challenge. He has experience with all phases of new and remodeling construction both interior and exterior. He also specializes in custom designed projects including decorative gates and fences with an emphasis on utilizing space for both decorative and functional applications. His last major project was converting a 50's style ranch residence to a more contemporary "prairie-style" floor plan. This included total renovation of the kitchen, master bedroom and bath and redesigning the living space for a more comfortable and interactive feel. This also included a craftsmen style fireplace with oak features and "cubies" above the mantel for displaying artwork. He also used decorative tile with a unique mosaic designed medallion in the foyer.

"Great work for a fair price. A hard working “old guy” who cares about doing a good job "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Louisville, 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.
