"This was my first experience with Home Advisor. I am very pleased that Stair Artisan contacted me. I needed a partial railing to give me support to get up a high step. Ron was very knowledgeable and professional. Knew what I needed. It turned out beautifully and goes well with my house. I am very pleased."

"The porch and deck are beautiful and functioning exactly how they should. At our initial meeting, Keith was so obviously knowledgeable and gave reassuring answers to all questions and concerns. He made specific recommendations for the products used (different for porch and deck) and I think they're perfect. His attention to detail regarding structure--and all aspects--continually impressed me and gave me a lot of confidence in both his knowledge and skills. Every day I admire Keith's work and feel so much safer because of his redesign of the stairs and transition to deck."

"THEY LEFT TO BUY PARTS AND WATER DRIPPED THROUGH THE BASEMENT DRYWALL (NOTICED AFTER WORK WAS DONE). THEY ONLY PUT ONE COAT OF PAINT ON THE FRONT PORCH POSTS AND DIDN'T FINISH CARPENTRY WORK. THEY SAID THEY'D BE BACK TO FINISH PAINTING THE WINDOW FRAME AND AT THAT TIME I WOULD HAVE ASKED THEM TO FINISH PAINTING AND FINISH DETAIL WORK ON THE POSTS. I ASKED HIM TO COME BACK TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE ON OTHER WOODWORK AND HE NEVER CAME BACK. HIS WORKER ASKED ME TO COMPLETE A SATISFACTORY REPORT TO ANGIE'S LIST AND I SAID I WOULD WOULD AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Sainte Genevieve, 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.
