"They quoted one price and then when got here said it was hourly. They took too long and work was not satisfactory and they kept charging for their ineptitude and mess ups! Do not hire! Cannot open door from inside unless handle only goes up and the new lock sticks. The outside of the lock is crooked. The seal is not fully sealing after he was told to rehang the door prior to any additional work "

"Rick was awesome to work with. In the world of contractors, they normally don't communicate well. Rick greatly surprised me with how responsive he was via texting. He is a friendly guy to work with in person and he did an excellent job at doing my baseboards throughout my entire house. He kept things tidy and cleaned up everything after he departed. "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Mesa, AZ

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.
