"Vic did an excellent job for us on many projects--a major deck refinishing, rebuilding a 100+-year old window seat, resuspending sagging kitchen cabinets, repairing and replacing some outdoor cedar siding and stairs. These varied projects required not only excellent carpentry but also innovative thinking to resolve some of the construction issues involved in this quirky old house. We were expecting to have to replace the deck but he convinced us it would be better, and more cost effective, to instead refinish the old cedar boards, replacing only a few boards--and he was right. He could have charged us more for new decking, but didn't--this impressed us. He's honest, reliable, and good at solving problems."

"Crafting lanterns for 35 years has been our life's work. When our trusted cabinet maker could no longer supply wood sticks, we faced a crisis. Enter Tom, a skilled artisan who quickly adapted to our meticulous craft. His precise cuts and timely deliveries have made him an invaluable part of our lantern team. Tom's dedication has not just filled a void; it has illuminated our craft with a new level of collaboration and camaraderie."

"Dave was amazing! It was our first experience hiring a handy man and I would 100% recommend. He came in and fixed a hand rail that had been ripped from the wall, noticed that the other hand rail was also not attached to studs so he fixed that, and noticed that one of our doors was coming loose at the hinges and fixed it was well! He was obviously very experienced and knew was he was doing. We would happily have him come back and help with other projects in the future!"

"Great job on both projects, really. The bathroom remodel turned out to be clean, modern and high-end with great attention to detail in tile, fixtures, lighting and overall finish. The kitchen was just as impressive ? bright, functional and beautifully finished with smart use of storage, clean lines and a warm, polished look. What really struck me was the craftsmanship and all the love that went into it from start to finish. The design and trim work, the final touches that make the spaces feel complete, everything feels intentional. Communication was clear, work was professional and outcome was beyond expectations. I would definitely rec Matthew and Michael to anyone looking for quality remodeling work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Seattle, WA

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.
