"Jesse Summerlin and his crew were wonderful. On time, polite, cleaned everything up and did a fantastic job. This was a limited repair but I will call him soon to redo the rest of the deck with confidence that I will get an exceptional job. Thank you Jesse and crew!"

"David's crew did a complete rebuild of a 26x8 ft deck section that had been added in 2013 and suffered rot from the new pressure treating process, as well as a complete conversion to Composite Decking for our upper decks. The project included 1500 Sq ft of upper deck & porch surface in new Trex decking and replacement of all the pickets and posts (including the lower deck) with new PT lumber rails and hogwire instead of the old pickets. Drew, Tyler & Hunter worked seamlessly together, taking time to accomplish every aspect of the project right the first time while getting an impressive amount done each day. The railing system and decking were all done precisely with great workmanship and attention to detail. The guys were also great to work with, friendly and asking all the right questions. The whole project turned out great!"

"Les Dunne is the increasingly rare "old school" professional. What that means in this age of diminished expectations is that he shows up when he says he will and does exactly what was agreed upon, down to the smallest detail. You will think that your project is the most important one he has ever worked on. If you just want a carpenter, you can find one easily enough. However, if you are seeking a master craftsman who transforms wood into a thing of beauty, Les should be your choice!"

"He built a wooden Cow fence, with horse wire on the inside - about 250 feet of fence. This is the second fence he has built for me. He is now building stairs of off my my deck, 20 to 30 feet high, with two landings."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Waynesville, NC

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.
