They communicated with me regularly about the job, returned my calls/texts immediately, and answered all my questions.

"My project was the restraining of my large deck and stairs. Fernando and his team provided friendly, professional service. The experience was excellent from estimate to completion. They made good recommendations and the service was top notch. I highly recommend them for painting. I also plan to use them for other remodeling projects."

"Great experience with Norm, the owner of Caulkins Home Improvements. I have a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood, so when I decided to replace the front door, I checked the reviews of several small businesses before selecting Norm. He quickly understood what I was looking for, gave me a very quick and reasonable estimate, knew just how to get the materials for the project, worked quietly and carefully, and completed the job with a minimum of disruption. The result was a beautiful satin black front door with polished brass hardware that I am very pleased with and proud of…as you can see…"

"Carl was a absolute pleasure to work with. I talked to him one day and 3 days later the work was done. I could not have asked for better workmanship being he had a mess of a floor repair to tackle. I would most definitely use him again and absolutely would recommend Bulldog Construction to anyone who needs home repairs. Top notch!!"

"I have used Mr Handyman 3 times in the last 90 days. Zac repaired my gate to my fence that was broken, Keith installed new ceiling fans on my back porch and Kevin repaired the stucco on the front of my house and installed a mantle on my back porch as well. All 3 did an amazing job. They did the job on time and in the budget provided. I would recommend this company for anyone needing work on their home. They will continue to be my go-to on improvements and repairs."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Knoxville, TN

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.
