"I have worked with Jay‘s contracting on many projects and upgrades to my home for over the past three years. After many other locally failed contractors, a friend recommended Jay’s services to complete jobs that were left undone by other handymen. The first job that I hired Jay’s contracting was staining my garage and back patio floors. They are always quick and very affordable. The jobs are never too small from assembly of items to general household repairs. Their work ethic is superb. I was very impressed by their market research ensuring that the raw material’s were at the lowest cost available. I highly recommend Jay’s Contracting."

"Advance window screen removal crew was unprofessional and incompetent. After alerting foreman to this, problems were corrected and everything went great once the primary repair/paint crew arrived. Bottom line: excellent job.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Scottsboro, AL

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.
