"We were very happy with the repair of the hinge on our storm door. He repaired it by replacing a few washers that has gone missing. Other repair people recommend we replace the whole door."

"I called Home Fixers because I had a problem with an exterior outlet and a running toilet. They were able to fix both problems and it cost a lot less than if I had called an electrician and a plumber to fix them. They showed up on time and did a great job."

"Marcus showed up on time to look at the damage and give me an estimate. He was very professional and performed the work promptly He and his laborer did a great job and cleaned up very well. I will have him put the air conditioner into a side wall in the spring when it's warmer. I am very pleased with his work. He also did a couple of very small jobs for me at no additional cost which I appreciated very much. I am more than happy to give him a great review and to recommend him as a contractor."

"Oscar was awesome. He was very responsive from day 1 when I first reached out to him about replacing my kitchen wall backsplash. He showed up on time just as scheduled and was very courteous and friendly. As the work began, we realized that I had underestimated how much tile backsplash I needed and therefore did not have enough. Oscar went above and beyond and was kind enough to drive to Home Depot to pick up some additional tile as well as other material to fix unrelated work needing to be done to my interior kitchen sink cabinet wall that Oscar said he could help repair for me. His price was more than fair for all this work when other contractors would have charged twice as much. Best part is that everything turned out amazing and I’m loving my new backsplash! I would most definitely recommend Oscar and 360 Improvements to others and will be using them again!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in North Aurora, IL

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.
