"Rufino of Jireh Handyman LLC responded to my call the same day. Within a day or two, he was able to come by and make an assessment of the work and schedule a time for the work to be done. The day the job was done, Rufino worked with an assistant. I have used Rufino for a previous job in the past. I am very pleased with the quality of his work. He is a knowledgeable and highly skilled handyman who is very capable of doing and making the necessary repairs in a wide variety of situations. He always arrives on time. He is friendly, polite, and very professional; he works efficiently; and he has a very good work ethic. In addition, he is very respectful of his customers and their home . We were very satisfied with all of the work that was completed in our house on the day of the repairs. Rufino's does exceptional work, and he is trustworthy. I recommend him highly because of the quality of his work, his fair pricing, and his overall positive approach to his work and his customers. I will most definitely use his services in the future for those repairs that require the skills of a handyman."

"Charles arrived at my home to provide an estimate at the exact time he told me he would. He explained my options to me regarding the restoration of my wood deck along with some masonry work at the front of my home. He promised to send me a detailed estimate within a specific time frame and it arrived on time. He started the work exactly on time and even finished it earlier than expected. I had one additional cost which came up during the project which Charles made me aware of right away. I had the option to decline but did not. The exterior of my home was just as clean as when he started. I would recommend him for similar jobs."

"Mack Rubio does fantastic woodwork. He and Juri responded within minutes of my request for new porch stairs and railings, as well as replacement of rotted fascia and siding. His work is solid, fast, and precise. Excellent skill and craftsmanship. His estimates are affordable and his team are always punctual and professional. This is my first home purchase and it is a fixer-upper, so I will definitely be calling Mack again for assistance with all of our home improvement projects. I highly recommend HandyMack for all home repairs and renovations!"

"Couldn't recommend more highly! I left my stormdoor slightly ajar during a windstorm and it was almost ripped off the hinges. Danian responded quickly, provided an estimate and had a new door sourced and installed in no time (he even came out after hours to deliver the door and took time and care to install it, despite the freezing weather, on a weekend). The cost was exactly as quoted and extremely reasonable, particularly given the quality of the work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Scarsdale, NY

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.
