Mobile Welding/Fabrication, Stick welding, Cutting/Torching, Painting, On-site construction Equipment repair and maintenance Subcontracting Concrete and Brick work

"The repair work that was done on my foundation was very good and professional. Very well before the bricks fell I noticed the wall was leaning out not only due to the bricks loosening but also my home shifted a bit. Shawn made the proper adjustments necessary to make sure that when the bricks were replaced that everything was aligned for strong support and a straight foundation again. I'm very pleased with his work and glad to be able to find someone who really applys himself with his work and who knows what he's doing. In today's society that type of work ethic is very hard to find."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Scranton, PA

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.
