"Roberto and his team helped us select, paint, and install a large custom french door for our home office. Roberto understood our vision, made the process simple, and handled the project efficiently. Roberto was quick to respond, and showed up exactly when he said he would to make sure his team was on time and understood what we wanted. We are so happy with the way the door came out, and highly recommend Roberto and his team at Monk's."

"Aleni came the same day he contacted me. I needed my deck repaired, boards replaced and repainted. I also asked about repairing my fence. Replacing slates etc. He gave me a very reasonable price and did the job within days. He is very professional and showed up when he said he would. The repairers came out perfect and he even returned after the deck dried for a couple days and put my furniture back. I would definitely recommend him and I would not hesitate to contact him for any future projects!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Montclair, 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.
