McKinney Stair Repair Services

Depending on your stair material, repairs will begin with a thorough inspection service first to rule out any structural issues. When repairing wood stairs, we’ll determine if treads and risers need replacing. Sometimes, sanding and filling small cracks and holes will fix the damage, and we’d finish with resealing.

Damaged stone or cement steps typically require epoxy or heavy-duty cement adhesive. A piece of cracked tile sheet we can repair with either epoxy or even replace the damaged sheet.

If our McKinney stair repair professionals detect any structural damage or inform you that you need reinforced structural support, such as an additional post or two, we’ll likely have to work on the system underneath, which may not be as simple if you have a spandrel—a storage area.

To avoid any mishaps, your local McKinney handyman highly recommends sanding and staining your wood step materials prior to the installation. If you did it afterwards, you wouldn’t be able to use the staircase for up to eight hours. Of course, checking with the manufacturer on whether they have already treated their materials could save you a lot of time and effort, as well as early repairs.

If it squeaks when you step on it and already has some visible splits and cracks, you will know. It won’t feel safe stepping on it either. Treads are usually just nailed onto wooden stairs and are easy to rip out and replace. Sometimes, those doing DIY repairs inject some carpenter’s glue into minor cracks, which is acceptable, but it’s safer to have it properly inspected in case there are some underlying issues that.

While having at least one is a local code, our McKinney stair repair team often recommends installing two. Not only does this enhance safety, but it will also enable anyone with reduced mobility to rely on their arms’ strength to effectively and safely climb up and down the stairs. Everybody has a different dominating hand. With that in mind, installing a second handrail or banister could also make your place a more friendly environment for any future aging in place projects.

The cost depends on how severe the damage is and what material we’ll be working with. Repairing surface defects and wobbly rails typically takes less than an hour. On the other hand, when dealing with any structural damage, certain parts may need to be replaced entirely. Or other integral parts need to be removed so we can access the damage area. It could take several hours.

In order to remain transparent with our upfront flat rate pricing system, it’s important for us to arrange an inspection appointment that will allow our service technicians to further examine the issue. This way, they’ll know exactly what needs to be done and can write up the details for your cost estimate as they speak.

When you hire our McKinney stair repair technicians, we’ll be able to inspect its structural health for you. Often, homeowners are unhappy with their system’s outdated design and want to upgrade to something more stylish and contemporary. Perhaps you have a carpeted system that you want ripped out and re-designed because your kids are now grown up, and you no longer have to worry about any slip hazards.

We certainly do; in fact, it’s one of the most common deck repair services we complete. When clients hire us to help repair their outdoor living space, it often involves inspecting their wood deck and pressure washing it for resealing purposes. We also go the extra mile to check on railing and stair health.

Even when opting for pressure-treated wood for exterior use, deck stairs are still susceptible to moisture damage and small structural problems. The tread surface may feel soft or have a spongy texture. Or it squeaks and creaks every time you step on it. That’s a sign of deteriorating structural integrity and should be addressed immediately before any accidents occur.

No problem! No matter the complexity of design or shape, we are familiar with all the types, even the most creative ones. We bring the required knowledge to complete the necessary repairs and ensure that your unique staircase is compliant with local codes. Curved, rounded, or spiral staircases typically need a clear walking path of up to 32 inches, depending on the staircase diameter. Feel free to contact our handyman team for a no-obligation inspection to determine the type of repair you need, or, if applicable, any readjustments you may require.

Metal stringers are very popular in modern properties and are a highly reliable structural component to a staircase. You can choose from steel and aluminum stringers. Serving as a vertical support beam, they will often save you additional materials and make your staircase appear minimalist, yet elegant. They are very durable and last longer than wood materials. That said, a routine maintenance check for rust should be performed on a periodic basis.
