"Hector and Moises were excellent! Hector came with one other of their crew and assembled my permanent gazebo. I have stone pavers and they were very careful in cutting them and digging Deep enough to establish a good anchor. They even installed railings for my back stoop. I would highly recommend them! Clean... affordable and professional."

"I took a chance and hired Mr. Handyman to fix my storm door. Kevin removed the door, worked his magic and reinstalled the door, and now it closes properly. I asked him if he did electrical work I needed a pagoda fixture that was in the ground near my driveway moved in about 3 feet. He dug a trench and installed the new pagoda fixture. I needed some wooden spindles from my deck reinstalled. He not only reinstalled them but reinforced all the spindles and also the railing. He was here for 5 hours. This is a great company...they sent an email with a picture of Kevin with his bio.A little pricy, they charge by the hour, but everything that needed fixing was fixed."

"Mack Rubio does fantastic woodwork. He and Juri responded within minutes of my request for new porch stairs and railings, as well as replacement of rotted fascia and siding. His work is solid, fast, and precise. Excellent skill and craftsmanship. His estimates are affordable and his team are always punctual and professional. This is my first home purchase and it is a fixer-upper, so I will definitely be calling Mack again for assistance with all of our home improvement projects. I highly recommend HandyMack for all home repairs and renovations!"

"I recently hired this contractor to install molding and baseboards throughout my home, and I could not be happier with the results. From start to finish, his workmanship was exceptional. He paid close attention to every detail, ensuring that every cut, joint, and corner was clean, precise, and professionally finished. What impressed me most was his diligence and commitment to quality. He took the time to make sure all the molding and baseboards fit perfectly, even in areas where the walls and floors were not completely even. The caulking, finishing, and overall presentation were flawless, giving each room a polished and custom appearance. He was punctual, professional, respectful of my home, and maintained a clean work area throughout the project. It is clear that he takes great pride in his craft and does not cut corners. If you are looking for someone who is meticulous, detail-oriented, and delivers high-quality results, I highly recommend him. I would not hesitate to hire again"

"Rob is a true artist who obsessed over the details, listens to the customer and goes out of his way to Make you a beautiful product that matches your vision and expectations. He also offers advice that is within your budget and matches your taste. I really needed this railing in a rush to get a CO for my house and he was here within days of my request, despite his busy schedule. Every time I walk up and down my stairs I am so in love with this railing. He's very knowledgeable in many aspects of building. The original contractor who worked on my house, whom I had to fire, installed my stairs a little crooked and lopsided and he explained it to me when I asked him about it. He did not volunteer any negative feedback as he is a professional and respects all fellow tradesmen. I asked him his opinion and analysis of what was going on because I could see it. I respect him highly and recommend him very strongly."

"Perfect. James was on time for the estimate and gave us a great breakdown with costs on what exactly needed to get done. We were under a time constraint to get the job done and James and his crews were able to meet the demand. His team was very clean and paid attention to details. Not a drop of paint out of place. He made sure we were satisfied with the job before he left. James also went above and beyond to help us out with a ceiling repair. Without missing a beat he grabbed some supplies and equipment from his truck and made the repair. I would highly recommend All Good Painting & Restoration."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Melville, NY

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.
