"A++ work. For three years I wanted to change my white, outdated, non wood railings. I found Ken on home advisor and from the first initial call I knew I wanted to hire him. Ken is an excellent carpenter, meticulous, punctual and detailed oriented. I highly recommend Built by Baxter if you are looking for quality work. Thank you Ken for transforming my space."

"Goodman Construction Group recently installed floating floors in my two bedrooms and also installed new baseboards, including painting. They did a fantastic job! The floors look beautiful, and the baseboards and paint finish the rooms perfectly. I'm very happy with their work and would highly recommend them."

"K & K Remodeling is a fantastic find. Kris was always detail oriented and knew his craft. We hired him to do several jobs, including replacing vanities, sinks and toilets, and adding an in the wall medicine cabinet . These jobs included replacing some hard wood flooring, plumbing, painting, framing, cutting a marble sink top, amongst other unanticipated obstacles along the way. Kris was detailed, patient and very tidy. The final product is outstanding. And, he was always available through texting so we could communicate on schedules. I recommend K & K Remodeling for any remodeling job. I would definitely hire Kris again."

"We contacted Jesus recently because we had a bunch of small projects we needed to have completed. He made sure to let us know when he was available and while he might have been a little late in certain instances, it was never a big deal. He's busy, so it's expected. The worked he performed was high quality. He installed a couple of bathroom fixtures and repaired the bathroom ceiling. He also fixed our bay window sill, which was a mess. Finally, he helped to sand our wood stairs and railings. One critique I would have is his lack of communication when it comes to pricing. Other than that I would recommend and I would like to use him again."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in West Palm Beach, FL

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.
