"Rufino is skilled, honest, fair, and easy to work with. He has given us a fair price with every job he's done for us. He responds promptly, arrives on time, and works quickly and efficiently. Rufino has always been the first person we call if anything needs to be repaired in our house. At first we just used to call him for big jobs like remodeling. Recently we called him to fix toilet leaks, remove cabinetry shelves, install a ceiling light, the list goes on. He is FANTASTIC!!"

"The job was to remove metal railings and replace them with weather treated wood railings on my front porch and primary entrance. The administrative person Satira was wonderful to deal with. The owner Alan provided me with a affordable estimate. The two workmen who arrived this morning to do the work were on time and a pleasure to deal with. The workmanship was outstanding and I would highly recommend them as well as I will use Westside Building in the future. I would rate them as a 5 out of 5 without exception."

"Couldn't recommend more highly! I left my stormdoor slightly ajar during a windstorm and it was almost ripped off the hinges. Danian responded quickly, provided an estimate and had a new door sourced and installed in no time (he even came out after hours to deliver the door and took time and care to install it, despite the freezing weather, on a weekend). The cost was exactly as quoted and extremely reasonable, particularly given the quality of the work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Ossining, NY

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.
