Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
Two hours covers the usual squeaks and a handrail gone loose at the wall. Treads screwed and shimmed from above, or glued and blocked from below where we can reach, balusters re-secured, the newel tightened, and every step walked on before we call it finished.
What the higher end buys
Cracked treads and risers replaced, a railing rebuilt from the newel out, or exterior steps with rot down at the stringer reach the top. Outdoor stairs near the coast wear fastest, and anything carrying weight badly goes to a structural pro first.

Biggest price driver
Access underneath sets the method. Open stairs let us glue and block from below, which is quiet and holds for years. A closed staircase means working from the top, so treads get screwed and plugged, and a carpet runner has to come up and go back down.
How to keep your stair & railing repair cost down
Walk the staircase and mark every squeak with a piece of tape so none get missed during the visit. Lift the runner yourself if it pulls up easily, and clear the landing so tools and lumber have a place to sit.
