Get matched with top wood stairs and railings repairers in Arlington, VA

"Jim the Handyman did an excellent job and help me discover other places that needed repair not accessible from the ground level. All the repairs were made at an affordable price. I will certainly use them again as need arises."

"We were very pleased with the quality of work delivered on our project to repair our indoor stair railing. Over a period of two decades our cat had used the railing posts as a scratching post. We were concerned that the repair might not be esthetically pleasing without a full replacement. We were delighted that a pleasing and economical solution was delivered for this project in the promised timeframe. The assigned worker communicated well, offered options and delivered beyond our expectations."

"Excellent experience. Needed steps on a deck repaired and some other fixes. Thanks!"

"Mr. Mendez and his crew did an excellent job with our skylights installation and painting our shutters and also painting our kitchen and family room. He is very responsive and completed the work very efficiently. Will definitely be calling him again for more painting projects. Highly recommend him. UPDATED AS OF 02/27/2022: Mr. Mendez also replaced our stair railing. He built everything from scratch. He also replaced some light fixtures. He does so much more besides painting. We plan on calling him when we renovate our lower family room."

"Jesús and Fernando did a great job of making my rusty stair railings look good again after they were sanded and painted. They also fixed the screen door that always got stuck in hot weather. As a bonus, I got my mailbox painted as well! Very satisfied."

"We hired Sino American to deal with the aftermath of a plumbing disaster in our hundred year old row house in downtown DC – the original cast-iron pipes below our bathrooms and over our central hallway had sprung a leak and could not be repaired. The replacement of the pipes would likely require tearing out the flooring of the bathrooms, so while we were at it, it made sense to renovate them. Sino American’s was neither the lowest nor the highest bid, but we hired the company because its proprietor, Mason Callejas, was both candid and creative in suggesting ways we could improve the bathrooms in the course of renovating them, and because the reviews here and elsewhere praised his communication throughout the project. For example, he was willing to bid the job with an alternate price that would involve repairing the pipes only from below, without ripping out the bathroom floors (we ended up not going that route). He also suggested something that had not occurred to us – making an insurance claim about the leaking pipes (this ended up providing a modest payment toward the cost of the demolition to get at the pipes). And, his bid seemed to involve the smallest amount of time when we could have to be out of the house while both bathrooms would be out of order It was a good choice. We had to be out of the house for at least three weeks, so we scheduled the work for a time when we were going to be abroad. That complicated the communications, but Mason did a great job of sending photos and talking to my brother and a friend who were willing to be our standins while we were away. (and the friend is a retired contractor who was very impressed both by Mason and by the work that his staff were doing). He had good ideas for improving the bathroom flooring (thus lessening some of the problems with the house’s construction that contributed to the problems with the pipe) We ended up with two very nice bathrooms; and along the way we added new kitchen stone counters and repainting of some our other downstairs rooms. The construction took a bit longer than estimated (you have to expect the unexpected in construction jobs), but the time we could not use the bathrooms was still less than any of the other bids had suggested would be needed. The price crept up over time given the add-ons needed to address issues arising during the project), but remained lower than the highest of the bids were received. And SinoAmerican was very good at the last-minute fixes needed at the punch-list stage of the process My wife and I have hired a number of contractors for jobs big and small over the past 35 years to deal with our own home as well as an investment property in DC, and among them, Sino-American ranks with the very best. I would recommend Sino-American to other homeowners without reservation. I rarely give five stars in my reviews but here it is fully deserved"

"We just finished a large remodel with Marks-Woods, including a new master suite/garage addition, kitchen expansion/renovation, and multiple other updates. It was basically a whole house remodel. We are thrilled with our choice to work with Marks-Woods! They were wonderful to work with, and gave us a finished product that is just spectacular (on schedule, no less). Greg was great about coordinating with our architect during the initial design phase, and helping us know what set their company apart. The designers were easy to work with, open to my ideas, and brought great ideas to the table. Drew was our project manager, and we feel like he's the best in the business. He communicates clearly, listens to concerns, keeps the work moving forward, and knows his stuff. Unexpected things will always come up in construction, but how your contractor handles those things, is the real hallmark of a great company. Drew and his guys were amazing at dealing with those things. They made sure I was 1000% happy with the work. They went to bat for us when a supplier was giving us issues, and always went the extra mile to make sure our project would be top notch. Our house is incredible, and we would absolutely go to Marks-Woods again in the future for any projects. Can't recommend them highly enough!"

"Everything went great. I would definitely recommend D & S Builders.

"Chris did good work, the deck was really nice. I was surprise that It would look that nice without replacing the whole thing. He match the stain color perfectly and he was really communicative and efficient."
