"Ben was great. Punctual and professional - gave me a fair price for the work I needed done. Wasn’t a big job but required an experienced carpenter to install wood floating shelves over a tile backsplash between cabinets. Very excellent work and it looks great!"

"Amazing job. The workmanship so good to match the existing wall and blend so it’s not a noticeable repair. Many neighbors have stopped by and commented on the good job. We were impressed with this contractor’s excellent communication. I would hire them again for any work we need done here at our home."

"They came out to remove the water-damaged and just plain ugly deck skirting and replace it with lattice. They also replaced the deck stairs and added a new railing. I had given them a picture I found on Pinterest and I swear, my new deck skirting, etc. looks exactly like the picture I had. I am so very pleased with this company, I recently contacted them for more projects I would like completed before Winter. Thank you so much!"

"Dustin Monahan was very efficient in both his work and in his analysis of the problems of the project. All of his recommendations were accepted. His price for the project was very fair. He was very clean and neat in his work. He contacted me every day and explained what he intended to accomplish on that day and worked according to schedule. He is very personable and I would highly recommend him. Would definitely use him again if needed."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Minneapolis, MN

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.
