"We have had Phelan Construction do numerous house improvements for us over the years. Most recently it involved wood gutter repair, wood steps, railing, hanging screen doors, soffit and fascia repair, and painting. Previously Bob replaced siding on a large area of our house with new cedar siding. We have always been more than happy with Bob's work ethic, quality of work and overall pleasantness."

"Gaby previously made custom built in desks for our home office. We then decided we wanted a separate matching cabinet. We were so happy with all the work he has done for us we called him to make the cabinet. Once again he used top of the line materials. The cherry wood and finish is a perfect match. We couldn’t be happier."

"Larry did an excellent job replacing interior railing. He was professional and performed high quality work. He went above and beyond recommending better solution and was very particular that all trim matched perfectly. Highly recommend him to others and plan on hiring again for other home projects we need done."

"Neil did excellent work! I needed a bedroom closet door and a linen closet door installed. He had to make the doors smaller in order to fit. He was very responsive, on time, and professional. I am very satisfied. I recommend him."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in West Roxbury, MA

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.
