"he quality of the material was a concern from the beginning I have pictures of the pickets and communication between myself and the business owner. He did replace over 200 pickets and I have video and pictures of the damaged wood that he stated was common . Once the pickets were replaced there was still issues with the fabrication parts that I also have pictures of he assured me he would repair and did so until the last part which is the functionality of the two front gates opening and closing also a handle that is on the wrong gate that Mr. Hale admitted via text was on the wrong gate . Through my experience I have been cordial and tolerant of the missteps and having to point out flaws in the craftsmanship and Me. Hale to a point was able to repair what needed to be replaced. However at the eve his communication was rude and to the point of blaming myself for the repairs made that he has never experienced in over 15 years of fencing . Needless to say he stopped communicating with me and will not answer my calls or texts when he reassured me he would replace the handle and repair what needs to be done ."

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.
