"We replaced the old vinyl siding with Hardie Board siding, installed new roofs over porches, and replaced one porch completely. Tim is a pleasure to work with and his work is top-notch! He is honest, fair, and kept us advised all the way through our project. When he found our back porch could not be repaired, he was straight up and gave honest cost to replace it. Our house looks great! I will definitely look to Tim again for future projects."

"Joe Cunetto came early on the assigned day to scope out a kitchen wall tile installlation. My wife had already chosen the tile and decorative trim. Joe helped us determine the correct tile layout for the room, the proper grout and mastic and sealant to order. I was very pleased in the quality of his work, and in his easy ability to tolerate my questions and educate me during the installation."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Ozark, 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.
