"This was our first upgrade at our new home. The Quality of work was Outstanding!!! Our front porch rail was deteriorating, and needed to be completely replaced. I contacted Joe Davis on Wednesday evening, the work order was scheduled, and completed by Thursday evening. My wife loved how Prompt the job was done. Quincy Campbell did an Amazing job!!! He actually measured and cut the wood for our porch railing with precision and true craftsmanship. Can t wait to see the our house after they pressure wash it next week. They Do It ALL!!!! I would highly recommend ALL American Craftsmen and Contracting for any Home Improvement needs. Thanks again Joe and Quincy!!!"

"I was surprised at how much work it takes to remove old original doors and install new ones. Robbie did an excellent job of detailing what he needed to do to reframe the doorways to fit the new doors to make a solid and tight close. He also painted the doors. Now that it is complete, it makes our garage look pretty - - imagine that! Robbie also installed a new toilet and determined cause of leak for the old one after having two other plumbing companies come out and be unable to resolve the issue over the last 5 years, leading us to not use the toilet. 24 hours later, no leaking and we have a working toilet. He beat the quotes we got from other contractors, stayed in communication, and showed up on time; a rarity in the world of contractors. Thank you!"

"It has truly become so difficult to find someone that you can trust and who cares about the work that they do. Thankfully, we no longer have that problem. Keith did an amazing job with our wooden banister and stair rail. Before there was the original rod iron railing that was outdated and unstable. Our stairs and entryway is now something that we can look at and smile. We could never thank you enough- so we hope a review could show our true appreciation. We look forward to working with you in the future!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Virginia Beach, VA

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.
