"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"Gabriel did an incredible job. I needed part of a dryer vent reconnected under the house in the crawlspace, and not only did he get that job done, he reinforced the parts with additional tape and a clamp to make sure the part doesn?t come loose again. A reasonable price for above and beyond service."

"OUTSTANDING...FROM START TO FINISH! I contacted Fireplace and Granite Distributors based on a friend's recommendation, after seeing the granite countertops they had installed for him. We primarily worked with Tracy. She came by our home and measured for the countertops, then provided us with quotes for several options. She was very patient with us as we worked through the process. This part of our kitchen remodel was just under $11,000.00, so we took our time to be sure of our decisions. Everyone we worked with was awesome. The countertop installation crew, as well as the backsplash installation crew were great. They knew what they were doing and paid attention to detail. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Fireplace and Granite Distributors and look forward to working with them again when we remodel our remaining bathrooms."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Spencer, NC

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.
