We are dedicated to providing our clients with the very best in concrete installation and repair for decks of other projects. With over 15 years of industry experience, we take and enormous amount of pride in the attention to detail put into each of the projects we're involved with. We're known for our quality work and the integrity of our business. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients, and guarantee your satisfaction.

"Jorge was super easy to work with. His communication was very reliable and timely. He was able to squeeze our project into his tight schedule, which we really appreciated. We had Jorge and his team refinish our deck and add lattice underneath. His team then discovered that our deck stairs were in really bad shape. He was very professional and detailed in explaining the expanded scope of our project, and I feel good about the extra work they did to ensure our deck is safe! Jorge and his crew worked super efficiently and were very communicative and considerate. For example, Jorge checked in with me several times to let me know when his team or materials delivery would be arriving at our house so that I could plan and ensure my cars weren't blocked in - super helpful for us! I look forward to working with Jorge and team again for our next project."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Medford, MA

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.
