Customers say: Super punctual

"Rufino of Jireh Handyman LLC responded to my call the same day. Within a day or two, he was able to come by and make an assessment of the work and schedule a time for the work to be done. The day the job was done, Rufino worked with an assistant. I have used Rufino for a previous job in the past. I am very pleased with the quality of his work. He is a knowledgeable and highly skilled handyman who is very capable of doing and making the necessary repairs in a wide variety of situations. He always arrives on time. He is friendly, polite, and very professional; he works efficiently; and he has a very good work ethic. In addition, he is very respectful of his customers and their home . We were very satisfied with all of the work that was completed in our house on the day of the repairs. Rufino's does exceptional work, and he is trustworthy. I recommend him highly because of the quality of his work, his fair pricing, and his overall positive approach to his work and his customers. I will most definitely use his services in the future for those repairs that require the skills of a handyman."

"I recently had my roof repairs done in by Overstate, and I?m pleasantly happy with how everything turned out. I was a little overwhelmed and nervous going into this, but Avi and his team made the process smooth and stress-free. from the free quote to the repairs, it was a really positive experience, and I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to everyone.

"I hired them to repair/ reinforce our deck. I liked at least 3 things about them: 1) Reliable. High quality workmanship. Attention to detail. Found the issues we did not notice before. Went to Home Depot a couple of times to get materials we would need for the project. 2) Professional. Showed up on time. Courteous and polite. English not the best but still tried to communicate well. 3) Clean. Cleaned up and took away the construction trash after they finished the project. I'd recommend them strongly."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Stamford, CT

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.
