"Handy Rite is simply the best!! We recently had handy rite out to fix what I thought was our shower leaking. James from Handy Rite determined that it was just the toilet and that we didn’t have to demo and replace our tile shower pan, which was a huge relief!! He got the toilet fixed that day and returned to replace the water damaged insulation and drywall. The job was completed with excellent craftsmanship and the handy rite team was very friendly, polite and professional. I would highly recommend them for any home repairs."

"We needed railings installed in several stairwells. fiNest Home Services was one of 3 we had out for an estimate. They asked lots of questions to better understand what we needed and the quote was back in just a couple of days. Their price was very reasonable so we went with them. Communication both before and after the work was done was excellent. The work was done in one day and done very well. We're very pleased with them and the work and would certainly hire them again for other projects."

"The project went very well.  Storm damage caused by two trees coming down on two sides of the fence was repaired in 2-3 hours.  The workers reviewed all needed work from the estimate prior to beginning the work.  They even volunteered to replace a top rail from another section of the fence, not included in the estimate, that had been bent in a storm many years before.   The workers were very thorough, did not damage any plants or grass around the damaged areas and cleaned up after themselves.  The workers were knowledgeable and polite.   They made sure everything was nice and straight!  Everything looked very nice when they were finished.  The workers were approximately an hour late from the start time I had been given.  I called and was told they had gotten a late start.  Their good work made up for the lateness.

"Difficult job - in hind-sight, both doors should have been replaced. Original bid was for replacement of one of the doors and repair of the other.  The repairman decided to attempt repair of both doors.

", The table pads were ordered on November 18,2015, and I received them in early March 2016.  The placemat "paddies" were ordered November 30,2015, and I received them April 23, 2016.  All items were mailed in very protective packaging, and the items themselves are of high quality materials and are well made.  All items look beautiful on the table, even without a table cloth; they resemble a quality wood product.  The color I selected matches my wood table perfectly.   With the above positive remarks I must say that I had to stay in touch often with Jackie S. by  email and phone to keep my order moving along, as there were production and/or mailing problems in January.  Jackie was always courteous to me and replied promptly to my emails or calls.  It took quite a lot of my contacting Jackie to finally get my complete order delivered.  There were promises and then delays, so one would keep this in mind if ordering from Berger's Table Pad Factory.

"We had Garden Structures & More add onto the beautiful privacy fence they had previously built for us, and we couldn't be happier with the final result. Our new and improved fence is even better than we had envisioned due to owner/designer/craftsman Hal's excellent ideas. All work was completed in a timely and professional manner. We truly enjoyed working with Hal and wouldn't hesitate to have him do our next home project. "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Afton, MN

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.
