"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!!!"

"Mr Davis came to see what was needed to repair my fence and gave me a price the same day I was looking for someone to give me a quote to have the repairs done. He came the very next morning and did the repairs that were needed. I am very satisfied with his repairs. I am very satisfied with the work he did."

"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 Before there was the original rod iron railing that was outdated and unstable.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!"

"After a lightning strike damaged a significant portion of our vinyl siding, General Home Improvement provided fast and cost effective repairs. A job that other contractors said would take a week or more took 3 days. As well, GHI was able to do repairs instead of complete replacement, showing a skill level that others did not seem to possess."

"Darren and his helper stopped by to provide an estimate to repair the roof shingles that had come up around the metal chimney for the gas furnace and prep/paint the metal chimney. After agreeing on the price, Darren and his helper were able to repair the shingles while they were here even though the weather was extremely hot. Darren returned in a couple of days as agreed when the weather turned cooler and prepared and painted the metal chimney. He did an excellent job and I was very satisfied.

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.
