"We were very pleased with the quality of work delivered on our project to repair our indoor stair railing. Over a period of two decades our cat had used the railing posts as a scratching post. We were concerned that the repair might not be esthetically pleasing without a full replacement. We were delighted that a pleasing and economical solution was delivered for this project in the promised timeframe. The assigned worker communicated well, offered options and delivered beyond our expectations."

"Mr. Menendez's crew arrived on time and prepared for work. I had two old wooden exterior columns that had been dry rotting. The crew replaced the columns with a custom PVC wrap. The columns were securely installed to ensure no future water or termite damage. Next, the crew primed my exterior mouldings, my rusted railings, and the awning above the porch, all of which were over 20 years old, rusted, and a huge eyesore. The following day, the crew returned to complete painting, reinstallation of the railings, and the final touch which was painting my security door and my front door! They provided new screws for the railing and painted my front door blue--- both of which were complentry to the work I paid for."

"Jesús and Fernando did a great job of making my rusty stair railings look good again after they were sanded and painted. They also fixed the screen door that always got stuck in hot weather. As a bonus, I got my mailbox painted as well! Very satisfied."

"I had an issue with my basement steps. I could not afford to replace and needed advice about how to repair. Fidel was patient, very professional and answered all my questions. He created the repair and labor around my budget. This company is very detailed and affordable. I highly recommend and have referred them to family members for home projects."

"He's awesome.  He's really good attention to details.  When we asked him a question like if I want something done and he said he won't do it; he explains it to you why.  He's just going to do what I ask him to do because he's going to make more money.  He's only going to do it when it's safe and if it makes sense.  They're all very courteous, very clean and there are no bad things on the job or anything like that.  They're very professional.  He's a little bit higher than anybody else but gives more attention than anybody else.  You're paying for what you get. "

"I called RJ and they came out promptly. They were the third estimate I received for deck support post replacement repairs. They provided the most reasonable approach to the work with a competitive and fair price. I spent time with the owner, Robert, customizing the work. His crew was out within 2 days and did a top notch with no issues. Job well done. ???"

  It was quite a challenge getting this thing up the narrow stairs of my historic home, and it proved to be even  more challenging getting it to fit properly with my uneven plaster walls - but guess what? It's in and it looks great.  I will surely use George again and I highly recommend him. He's a painter, sculptor, and furniture maker.

"We would trust Robert and Competitive Painters with any project.  He's not just a painter, he's an artist.  Robert and his team will not allow you to make a design mistake.  They see things with a designer's/artist's eye and make recommendations - then they execute - and the results are elegant and without defects.  Almost all of our interior paint has some custom texture to it that Robert created and applied with tremendous skill leading to glorious one-of-a-kind results.  The staining the've done on our deck and wine cellar was on extremely high quality wood and required great thoughtfulness, care and skill, which brought out the best in our wood.
Beyond that, these guys know how to solve problems, all kinds of them - properly.  They are totally trustworthy and welcome in our
home whether we are here or not.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Waldorf, MD

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.
