"Jason just completed a big, long fencing project for my family. It involved coordination with several neighbors also. Jason did a great job and was very conscientious about all aspects, including straight lines, sturdiness, eye appeal, and organization from prep, the steady professional work with communication as needed, and thorough clean-up. We would certainly hire him again for our next future project!"

"We were very pleased with ER Renovations. We hired him because he was very responsive to questions and provided the most detailed estimate. We asked for and received an estimated schedule so we knew when to expect contractors, who they would be and what they would be doing. Our remodel touched most areas of the house and included a complete gut and rebuild of the kitchen and master bath. The owner, Ethan, took great pride in producing a high quality product. He had the drywall installers come back twice because he wasn't satisfied with the quality of their work in one area. He was very efficient in moving the work along on schedule. No unpleasant surprises. We would gladly recommend him to family and friends."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Salem, OR

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.
