"Aaron's Custom Carpentry was great to work with! We love our new stair railing. Part of the railing and spindles were replaced. He worked to solve a problem that we didn't think could be resolved. Would highly recommend! Great attention to detail and communication was excellent."

JD and his crew were fantastic! The estimate was competitive with other bidders and we felt the value of their services was very high. We had extensive wood rot damage around most of the windows in our house. JD and his crew were very detailed and careful as they removed the old windows, repaired the wood rot, and installed the new windows. The locations that were leaking before the window installation are leaking no more. Wood Rot Solutions also repaired rot on the exterior of our house, including trim and siding. Everything was caulked well and it was easy for the painters once they arrive. (Note: painting was not part of Wood Rot Solutions scope.) JD and his crew were very professional. They kept the interior of the house clean and even worked around our child's naptimes. We are VERY happy with our new windows.

"We were very satisfied with the work. Ours is a story and a half home, so some of the surfaces were quite high and difficult to reach. We also had a significant amount of wood rot needing carpentry repair. About 2/3 of our cost was attributable to the painting and 1/3 for carpentry. We had asked four contractors for estimates. One declined to bid, saying the job was too big for them. Of the other three estimates, White Dog and one other were nearly exactly equal and the third estimate was 50% higher. Our estimate was done by Ron Scott and the job was managed by Noah Scott. Most of the work, both painting and carpentry, was done by two brothers, James and Moise. Occasionally they had another man or two for assistance. Noah was helpful in our decisions about the paint colors and quality. All the work was professionally done with much time and care spent in replacing wood rot with 1x6 cedar trim along the sides and back of the house and over the rooflines. Approximately 50 batten boards were replaced. All was carefully sealed and primed before the paint was applied. The paint job included stucco surfaces in the front of the house, which were painted a color different from the wood siding. The job took about 6 days in total. Each night the crew picked up tools, equipment and supplies and either took it with them or left it neatly stored on the property. No mess was left around at any time."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Platte City, MO

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.
