It is amazing how quickly he gets tasks done and correct the first time. Angel installed drywall, porcelain tile and finish trim in my basement and it looks amazing. I would recommend Angel with no hesitation to work on any of my future projects."

"They remodeled my kitchen after a leak damaged it and the finished basement. They replaced cabinets, fixtures, and appliances, They repaied the floor. They repaired the ceiling and drywall in my basement. They designed the kitchen and did all of the work themselves except for the countertops which were outsourced to a company they recommended. This project was seamless. They show up when they are supposed to, communicate well, and are very respectful to your property and clean up after themselves. They even returned after they were paid to finish something that had to be special ordered. I really can’t say enough good things about the experience. They are more expensive than some of the other people that I looked at but I think they are worth every penny. No headaches. Will use again."

I intend to use him again for other projects because he is one to do the job to perfection and not charge you an additional fee, unlike others. I highly recommend Jacob Kiser to anyone who has a project. He is fair in pricing and will not leave until he is satisfied."

"I recently hired House Doctors of Knoxville for some repairs around my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! From the moment I contacted them, they were professional, responsive, and scheduled the job quickly. The handyman who came out was punctual, friendly, and clearly skilled—he fixed my leaky faucet, patched some drywall, and even helped hang a heavy mirror perfectly straight. The work was done efficiently, with great attention to detail, and everything was left clean when he finished. The pricing was fair and transparent—no surprises on the bill. As a new business, they’re off to an amazing start, and I can already tell they’re going to do great things. Highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable home repairs—I’ll definitely be calling them again for future projects!”"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Oak Ridge, 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.
