"When we bought our house, there was nothing in the master bedroom closet - not a pole, not a shelf or even a hook. Jason built us a beautiful, functional closet system complete with a granite bench and a wall of shoe cubbies. He also built an impressive set of stairs from our 2nd story deck down to the backyard so my dog could easily go outside. He does excellent work and I highly recommend him."

"I needed someone to replace the rotten railings on my lower deck. They replaced them and screened it at the same time. They did a great job even making sure my small dog couldnâ t fall through the rails. I also had them screen the upper deck. Highly recommend them. Did a great job."

"Super nice guysâ ¦. Prompt response to request and same-day estimate. The crew showed up on time and even ended up having to do some extra work because of the hidden issues: condition of the large deck I was having them repair. I will highly recommend them to any friends and I am looking forward to having them work for me again with my handyman projects."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Nashville, TN

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.
