"I appreciate when people keep their word on things. I hired Fahey Built Construction to repair some damage to my property. He was there on time, with a great attitude and went so far as to point out things that I had not even considered. He completed the project under time and under budget more than meeting my expectations. And how often does that happen? I am very thankful to Patrick for the work and his professionalism. My wife was so happy, she suggested that we have him take on the bathroom remodel that we have been putting off. So we are. You know how it goes, "happy wife, happy life." Looking forward to getting this project started as well. Peace of mind goes a long way. Thanks Patrick!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Truckee, CA

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.
