"As an award-winning journalist with an investigative reporting background, I am shocked that Empire Today has been in business as long as they have with how poorly they treat customers. We had a luxury vinyl plank floor installed last August. The salesperson assured us that this was scratch-proof, but that if we did have any issues, the warranty would cover it and that Empire had a great warranty. Well, six months later, the floor is covered in scratches from light use - essentially from pulling out a chair here and there and walking across it. It's in a dining room, so we hardly ever eat in there and mostly walk through it. We have sat at the table a handful of times in six months. Yes, we have pulled out chairs for those times, but who would expect scratches like this from such mild use? We're pulling them out gently, not dragging them across the floor. Clearly, this floor was defective when installed if it was supposed to be as scratch-proof as the salesperson said it was. Their customer service manager (based in Massachusetts) has been extremely rude and unsympathetic and insists the manufacturer warranty and the one-year Empire workmanship and servicing warranty don't cover scratches. This goes against everything the salesperson told us. The one-year warranty has a list of what is not covered and scratches is not among them. It says you can obtain warranty services for defects. When I suggested that these scratches were a defect that got worse over time, the customer service manager LAUGHED AT ME and said she had my email saying that we caused it by pulling out chairs. I asked to speak to someone above her, and she refused to give me another name. I said, I'm upset enough to go to the Better Business Bureau and you're telling me there is no one else I can speak to who is above you and has the authority to potentially rectify this? By this point, I was raising my voice as she was so rude and unsympathetic. She repeated she was the customer service manager and there was nothing else that could be done, other than express our frustration to the sales manager so they were aware that possibly their sales team was giving out incorrect information. However, the sales manager, according to her, would not have the authority to rectify the situation because, apparently, she is the only one within the entire Empire Today Corp. who can be bothered with customer service problems. What??? She wished me a good day and hung up on me, not caring that I was prepared to go to the Business Bureau, write negative reviews, and do whatever I could to resolve this. She chuckled again and said, “You do what you need to do, but the warranty does not cover scratches.” I have never dealt with a customer service manager who was so unhelpful and rude, just shutting me down completely. Unbelievable and we will be taking this to the Better Business Bureau and making sure everyone we know does not use this company."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Athol, MA

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.
