"We were initially looking to paint our house and detached garage. Unfortunately, some things changed with our refi and we needed to revamp our plans; we could only do the garage (and get some pointing done on the chimney). We worked with Erick Granados (he was fantastic), and he was able to quickly provide a new estimate, which allowed us to move forward with the project. The painters were professional, they did great work, and at the end of the day they cleaned up the area around the garage. When they noticed a small issue with the garage roof, they devised a great solution that was cost effective. When the entire job was finished, they cleaned up the surrounding area, which made the whole presentation of their work look even better. Once the garage was complete, they moved on to the chimney. We own a 1936 Tudor, which has a very tall chimney. Some of the bricks began to chip away and the plaster around the chimney was falling off to the ground. The repairs look fantastic. Erick came by the house the next day and discussed the finished job with me. I appreciated his professionalism and followup to make sure we were happy. My wife and I are very pleased with the work done by Wilber's Painting and the service by Erick Granados. We strongly recommend this company."

"Overall, they were good. Efficient and polite. The quality of their work is very good. The manner in which they work needs improvement. Clipping chain links and allowing them to fall on wood floors â ¦ placing old fixtures on wood floors. However, the two gentlemen on the job were extremely knowledgeable, and I would most certainly hire them again."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Millington, NJ

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.
