"Matt and Josh came to measure and gave us suggestions to improve the beauty of our kitchen. They suggested wider doors and crown molding. These really added to the overall appearance of our kitchen. They came the day and time we agreed on. All the construction work was done at their shop. The installation was completed in one day. They were both friendly and very professional. Our kitchen is beautiful and we would not hesitate to use them again.

"Vincent was the lead worker on this project, and his attention to detail by himself and others was admirable. He frequently went "above and beyond" to make sure the job would be more than satisfactory. Brian Hensley, the owner, got the best materials possible for the job. The end result, a new deck surface of "ground contact" Pressure Treated wood to replace a surface of prematurely rotted 8-yr old Kiln Dried After Treatment PT wood, looks absolutely great. I expect it to last forever. We are glad we chose Rave Renovations for this project."

"From the start Mike was very professional and pleasant when he came to give us an estimate for painting the outside soffit around the whole house outside, porch railings, pickets and stairs. When we decided to have him do the job, as his price was reasonable for the work wanted, we called and he stated he would send a contract and have the work done by 10-30-14, which was 2 weeks away and would take 1 1/2 days to complete. He called on 10-21-14 and stated he would be at the house on 10-23-14. All the work was done and it looks terrific. There was no mess to clean up, they did it all.  We are very happy with his work and would highly recommend him and have him do any future painting needed at our home.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Startex, SC

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.
