"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!"

"I needed a door built in and framed at the bottom of stairs leading to a separate apartment. After 4 months and multiple contractors committing to, then canceling, or not showing up, I found Joe Maguire. he showed up when he said he would, he was always timely, friendly and professional. And did an outstanding job! The built-in frame and door are seamless and look like they've always been a part of the apartment. His prices are extremely reasonable, and most importantly for me he showed up when he said he would, finish the job in a timely manner, and really did good work! I've already got him lined up for some other jobs as well!"

"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!"

"I'll start by saying I chose Matt because of the reviews here on Angie's List and the photographs of his work on his web site. Matt doesn't come cheap, and we did have significantly lower bids for this job. We felt that these built-ins were going into our great room and needed to look good, like a piece of furniture. We felt confident that Matt could deliver the quality craftsmanship we wanted for this project, and decided the extra cost was justified. Matt suggested a bench under each window with storage and doors below and a Cherry top (seat) on the benches. We decided on a scribed fit against the fireplace, which meant Matt would have to cut the bookshelves to mate with the rock fireplace. Matt shared his plan to build the bookshelves in his shop, described the materials being used and the process he would use to paint the exposed surfaces, gave us a rough date for completion and assured us we would be happy with the result. On installation day, he showed up with his partner Josh and each took a side of the fireplace to work on. They spent the entire day installing our built-ins, and even had to finish up a few details on the following day. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the result. The built-ins look great, and have that quality furniture look we hoped for. The sprayed on lacquer finish is awesome and durable. What an improvement in the room!"

"Eldridge and his team were fantastic. From my first call with Eldridge, he was responsive, helpful, clear, and reliable. I loved that he and his team leader, Mike, helped me choose the colors that were going to make me happiest long-term. Their aesthetic sense is impeccable--they've been doing this a long time! The team showed up on time, worked efficiently, and were truly delightful to be around. They moved the furniture off of our deck and were super nice about it! The team made minor repairs as part of the work, and Eldridge has been attentive in following up about the items that were beyond the scope of the work we hired him to do. I would definitely hire them again. Their expertise and professionalism, plus just being nice to have around, were worth at least what we paid!"

"Tomas is a miracle worker. We moved into a new house and the deck hadn't been maintained. It was dry and splintery and some of the grain was separating so there were dangerous shards sticking up. Many of the boards had become concave so they would hold water after rain. When Tomas came to give an estimate, he said he could flip the boards over. Brilliant — I had never heard of that before. So he spent a day unscrewing every board and flipping them over, making some modifications on the ends where it went around railing posts. He did a careful and thorough job washing, sanding, and staining. It now looks like we have a completely new deck! Amazing! (And pretty cheap given the cost of wood these days.) Tomas is an incredibly hard worker. (In fact I had another guy doing work on my house who commented, “Wow, he's a really good worker.") I've had other guys come out and do other decks of mine before, and they would just do a perfunctory cleaning and slop on the stain. Tomas genuinely cares about how good the deck looks. Every detail is meticulously attended to. And — the work was reasonably priced. So glad we found him."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Zirconia, 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.
