"JJJ Home Remodeling recently completed 2 projects for us and we are very pleased with the results of both. The first one: painting of the house (exterior) and deck. From start to finish, we found Charles and his team to be professional, reliable and conscientious. In addition, Charles was an excellent communicator throughout. We especially appreciated the fact that he and his team spent a lot of time on the prep work and made a number of repairs (after getting our consent) wherever they found wood damage. We love the way our house and deck look now. The second project that JJJ Home Remodeling did for us was to replace the windows in 5 rooms of our house. They did a fantastic job! Since this was our first time replacing windows, Charles offered to do one room first to make sure we were satisfied. We were and decided to proceed with the remaining rooms. Charles and his team were meticulous, easy to work with, and very clean and efficient. We are happy with the results and highly recommend him."

"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!"

"The job was to remove metal railings and replace them with weather treated wood railings on my front porch and primary entrance. The administrative person Satira was wonderful to deal with. The owner Alan provided me with a affordable estimate. The two workmen who arrived this morning to do the work were on time and a pleasure to deal with. The workmanship was outstanding and I would highly recommend them as well as I will use Westside Building in the future. I would rate them as a 5 out of 5 without exception."

"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.
