" Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience. After removing my existing dishwasher, the technician informed me that he did not know how to install a Bosch dishwasher, even though I clearly stated the brand in the job description. He later admitted he had not read the job details beforehand. He installed a new water valve, but the new dishwasher was never installed. As a result, my old dishwasher was removed, I was left without a working unit, and I was still charged $120. I also had to clean up water that was tracked through my home. Overall, this service caused unnecessary inconvenience and wasted time. I would not recommend."

"Dan was hired to scrape the popcorn from ceilings in the kitchen and laundry room, as well as paint the wall and trim in both areas and install cabinets and appliances that we bought. Dan is a very nice guy, but unfortunately, his work is rushed, and the majority of what we hired him to do, came out sloppy."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Santa Rosa Beach, FL

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.
