"We hired Cory to repair some wood siding on the exterior of our home along with some minor stucco work. He was a dream to work with! He is very friendly and was always quick to reply anytime we reached out to him. He did a great job on our home and we will be happy to use him again for any projects we may have in the future."

"David earned my trust, which is hard to do. I do not even ask for estimates now as I know he will be fair, and deserves what he charges, especially for the quality work he does. Heâ s a perfectionist. Quite frankly, I think he should charge more. His work is amazing! Seriously, Iâ ve not seen better. Trustworthy, honest, fair, talented, perfectionist, kind."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Merritt Island, FL

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.
