"I have remodeled 5 homes and built one. With all my experience with contractors and subcontractors, I have never found one as reliable as Carson. He has helped my family with repairing older beach homes for the last three years. We have hired Carson to do a lot of jobs. He has completed all of them in a timely manner, using salt water resistant materials that will stand the test of time, and the end product demonstrates excellent craftsmanship. He helps us make decisions from 200+ miles away, staying on budget but producing excellent results. We haven't had to stress about overseeing the job as Carson treats our house as his own. We are beyond thankful for him, his team, and his attention to detail. My great grandfather built one of the homes in the 1950's and its withstood many Hurricanes. I'm so thankful that Carson can carry the tradition of excellent craftsmanship to our special place. As for specifics of this job, he built beautiful shiplap in our den, repaired our deck, replaced a rotten support beam with plumbing and electrical running through it, and painted our porch and deck. He did an incredible job."

"Mike is very meticulous with his work; a true craftsman. Because of his extensive experience he was able to make good suggestions as to how to achieve the look we wanted. He has built relationships with various suppliers that ensure materials are delivered in a timely manner. Mike not only replaced the floor boards and stairs with top quality wood, but went the extra mile and added new stringers to bring everything up to code and ensure that the new steps and floor would not warp in the future. We are very happy with the results."

"After the heavy rains we noticed we had a very leaking roof.
Most roofers either put off giving a quote or stated they could not do the work
for 3 to 6 months AND estimated almost twice going rate. Mr Anderson was able
to respond quickly and gave the lowest estimate as well as including waste
disposal and cleanup. (Some of the roofers wanted us to handle the debris). We
were VERY happy with his work and the end product is very attractive. He was knowledgeable
and polite. He walked us thru every step and offered very sound advice. The end
result was a great end result.  Thank you
Jerry

"The service went very well. He fixed my couch that separated by the wood at the side and bottom base. He added reinforcements to the wood, cleaned up the torn cloth material on the couch, and it looks great! He was respectful, professional, and not messy. I would highly recommend his service and will use his service again. His business card is a keeper"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in North Charleston, SC

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.
