"Darren and his team installed new, super-sturdy and beautiful handrails on a set of stairs at my father's home. Darren was friendly and helpful throughout the process, and eager to brainstorm to give us what we needed. It was a relatively small job, but Darren worked carefully and conscientiously, and he explained everything thoroughly to my father. We love the new rails and would hire him again in a second."

"I had already gotten other quotes for the roof replacement, but I saw a coupon on Angie's List for Alliance Home Improvement and decided to get a quote from them, too. I'm glad I did! Sergiy was punctual and professional for the quote and was able to do the roof and some other needed repairs that were not even roof-related, for about the same price as the other quotes I had gotten that were just for the roof alone. His workers were courteous, hard-working and made sure the job site was neat and clean each day. They got the jobs done promptly and everything looks great! I would definitely recommend them."

"Barn Rescue – My barn was hit by a vehicle, which broke a large post and pushed section of siding out from under the roofline, plus major damage at ground level. Brad shored it up for the winter with an array of jacks and an enormous chain to ensure the thing wouldn’t fall down till they could return in the spring. Come spring, they fully replaced the damaged section’s support members and facade, and added bracing to the attic, rendering it stronger than before. Foundation support: The sagging beams and jerry-rigged support columns in the dirt basement of our 18th century house were inadequate. They dug and poured a dozen footings and lally columns, supporting a line of new 6x6 and 9x9 beams that provide solid support to the house above. They showed up promptly every day, worked fast, and left the site clean and finished. Both Brad and Chad have a deep knowledge about old houses and the techniques that were used, and I felt my historic register property was in good hands."

"Our 23 year old roof started leaking during a heavy downpour in September and I reached out to several roofing contractors through Angie's List. Mr Zaman was one of the most prompt in replying and came to our house the next day. He determined that the roof needed to be replaced (which other contractors also recommended). What set him apart was that he went out of his way to temporarily patch up the leaky area until the roof could be replaced without a commitment for the new roof, whereas others didn't even offer. After getting a few quotes, we decided to hire Zaman for the roof based on competitive quotes, responsiveness and workmanship warranty. The job was scheduled for the next week and took a day and a half. Clean up was thorough and, when one of the screen doors was accidentally damaged, Mr Zaman had it fixed and reinstalled without any excuses. We're very pleased with our new roof. While it has yet to be tested by a heavy downpour, we're confident that Mr Zaman would address any issues given our experience thus far."

"Excellent! This remodel could not have gone better. Attention to detail describes Karol and his team. We let Karol's team work at our house when we were not at home. They arrived on time, cleaned up each day. They put up a plastic wall to minimize the dust in the rest of the house. Karol answered all our questions and accomodated some changes during the remodel with no problem. The floor was a big concern for us since the slab was higher than the adjacent wood floor. Karol minimized the step between rooms to less than 1/2 inch. Everything was done to perfection. No cost overruns except the items we added during the project. This project was a pleasure working with Karol and team. Highly recommend KBK Construction. This was a complicated remodel that Karol handled with ease. Very talented and honest business. Our kitchen is beautiful. So glad we contracted with KBK Construction."

"Working with Wes and his wife Aimee was a pleasure from the very first minute. Both are very professional and courteous - so refreshing and different that it made an immediate impression. You can have complete confidence in Wes to get the job done - done well and done on time. Now that I have found A&W Carpentry there is no reason to look any further. The other reviewers were all right. You'll see!

"Dave answered the phone the first time I called and arrived right when he said he would for an estimate. He looked at my leaking chimney flashing and gave me a quote to fix the issue right on the spot. He was also honest with me and told me how to repair it myself if I wanted as it wasn't that difficult. I asked for a ballpark estimate to replace the entire roof since it will need to be done within a couple of years and he provided one. I would be happy to do business with Brodowski Home Improvement in the future."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Andover, CT

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.
