"I hired Professional Home Improvement for a siding job and was so pleased with the work and response from the company that I hired them to rebuild the wooden deck in my backyard. After replacing the siding panels that were leaking, Mal had his crew caulk all of the other siding panels around the house to ensure that we didn't see the same type of problem elsewhere. For the deck rebuild, Mal sent me pictures of various railing styles for the new deck and did a beautiful job of rebuilding the deck to match. Mal is likable and reachable and was very easy to work with on both projects which were done for a reasonable price, in a reasonable timeframe and they came out great. Mal provided regular communication with pictures as each job progressed. I strongly recommend Professional Home Improvement."

"Wonderful! We had five doors in which Darrell removed and dip stripped. We also had a crew come in and strip approximately 17 windows. It took them a little over a week but they stuck with the job and worked very hard. Much better price quote than other companies and excellent quality. Just finished an entire rehab of a house and of the 10 tradesmen we hired, they are one of the three we would happily invite back."

"They do great work! From puncutality to price, we will use no other company going forward. Since building a bedroom in our basement, we just had them back last week. We have/had a very small kitchen space in our typical 3 bedroom brick ranch in Chicago. We hired Pawel to remove the adjoining bedroom which we've converted into dining space. This included removal of two walls, reinforcement of two support beams, run electrical for canned lighting, install two other light fixtures, patch drywall and mend existing floors for a great flow. All was completed in a timely manner and of course, the finished product has exceeded our expectations.

"Rob and his team did a totally professional job. Some contractors would not work a sloped ceiling (18' high at top) but Rob's team had all the equipment to clean up and install the ceiling drywall. The final result was excellent quality. All of the workers were excellent craftsmen, were punctual every day, and cleaned up everything. The project was completed on schedule and budget. Rob quoted extra work I requested at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him and hire him again."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Zion, IL

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.
