"Craig and his team did an excellent job on our basement renovation. Craig brought up a lot of great ideas to make the remodel better. His crews were skilled, easy to work with, and friendly. Work quality was very high and the work was completed in a reasonable amount of time. We're very happy with our new basement space. We'd definitely use Artistic again."

"I am very pleased with Rocking M Improvements. I hired them for several reasons: 1) Derek had excellent reviews on Angi's List, 2) his demeanor was kind, calming, and professional, and 3) the quoted price was reasonable even in this market where everything is overpriced. Derek and his crew were all very kind and professional throughout the work being done. They came across a few unexpected extras that they took care of. Derek took the time to explain everything to me so that I would understand the entire job. He even was kind enough to take a look at a separate issue inside the house and offer advise as how to proceed. I would not hesitate to hire Rocking M Improvements again and will recommend them to friends and family needing home improvement help."

"Bob Gray and his team at 4-Ever Water-Tite did amazing work on our basement. I fully recommend this company without hesitation for any basement waterproofing, plumbing, or foundation work. The team was extremely knowledgeable and skilled, professional, courteous, and just good people all around. Bob was able to schedule our project in quickly and it was completed within three days. The work that was completed was exceptional, as well as the clean-up. The price was also very reasonable and the work has a lifetime transferable warranty."

"Jam Home Services (Jeff & Crew) tackled my condo, it was a mess. They repaired the walls, did lots of sanding and painted my whole condo. A fella at the Benjamin Moore Store referred me to Jam Construction and I couldn’t be happier. My walls look like butter and I look at them everyday and can’t believe how lucky I was to have found Jam. They completed my condo in a week and it was so nice to see such teamwork and laughter. Looking forward to having them back to clean and stain my deck. It’s going to brand new after they get through with it. Thanks again... you do amazing work."

"-- MHI Painting did a great job with my project from estimate to completion. Mike was willing to explain what he wanted to do and why he wanted to do it. I’m not a DIY person, so hearing his explanations helped me understand his proposal. -- The job consisted of repainting kitchen and family room in the same colors which I really liked but were old and needed freshening. Billy took switch plate covers to the paint supplier to get a match. It also included painting new wood trim around a recently replaced patio door. The workspaces painted included tray and coved ceilings. -- Billy’s team did an excellent job of painting and clean-up and showed respect for my property. -- This is the second time I have used MHI and they have now done both exterior and interior work for me. I was highly satisfied with both experiences. -- I have and will continue to recommend MHI to my friends."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Washington, MI

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.
