"Roland and team did a fantastic job on my new LVP floors! I could not be happier with the installation and finishing the team did on the transitions from my living room, stairs and foyer. They also did some painting and lite plumbing work. I can always count in this team to do a great job on all my home remodeling and repair needs!"

"It was just fine. They showed up promptly. I wasn't here but they did the job and they're very efficient. Everything was cleaned up. We used them mainly because last year, we used them for our roof and doors. We were so pleased with the work they did so we decided to go with them again. We did some research. We checked Angie's List and checked the consumer's check-book and saw a lot of ratings and that was based on our experience with the work they did last year. They may be a little more expensive than some other places but the quality of the work they did was terrific. You get what you pay for."

"Work was done carefully and on time. Only a few minor issues (for example, covers for the area where toilet is screwed to the floor were missing) but they got the big stuff right."

"I bought my current SFH home in June 2014 and wanted some small odd jobs done shortly after moving in.  Nothing major, but more than I could handle as a former condo owner.  I consulted Angie's List for some handymen services and rounded up four candidates to give me estimates.  Matt was very professional and answered all my questions without being condescending or dismissive.  His quote seemed fair in comparison to some of the others I got.  And he was flexible and pleasant to deal with, by both email and in person.  Once I hired him, I was glad I did.  The work quality has been excellent all around.  I have been very pleased and hope to be hiring him again soon to do a few more jobs around the house.  We had one small hiccup with the caulking in the bathtub not curing properly. But he came right back out to correct it as soon as I let him know.  Good guy and a great team.  I highly recommend him.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Middletown, MD

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.
