At Blakely Fence and Forge we pride ourselves on delivering high quality work, done timely at reasonable rates. My family has served this state for generations and now its our turn to offer superior workmanship to our neighbors. Whatever your need in fencing and metal work, we have you covered, no job too big, too small, or too complex, we wont stop until you are 100 percent satisfied.

"I had asked for a quote for vinyl siding. This company was a new start up. Said their license was in the mail. Found out this was a lie later on. Men were very polite and respectful and offered very competitive pricing so I decided to go with them. I had maybe 30 linear feet to be installed. It took them over a week. That was my first lightbulb going off. Then their confused faces, trying to make the pieces fit was the second lightbulb. I noticed quite a few imperfections, but what could possibly go wrong with an uncomplicated vinyl fence? Everything. The slats are too short. I can see my neighbors yard through my fence because they didn't make the slats long enough for the top rail to rest on. This was on at least three panels. One panel, the slats were so short that they all popped out. With the posts? Brackets are supposed to have 4 screws, but they only managed to put two. And this was on more than one bracket. Now the post that's attached to the house, they used a hard white plastic bracket to attach the post to the house. And what does plastic do in the AZ heat? Crack! So now, the one post has become completely detached. When I tried to contact him initially for only the one panel that the slats that popped out, he responded very quickly, which used to be the norm. He asked for a picture, I sent it to him, then radio silence. So I tried 5 more times before threatening to report him to AZ atty general, BBB, report him for having no license and leaving a review everywhere I could about how he stiffed me on my one year warranty. He had the absolute nerve to insist that my fat a** dog is the one who broke it from jumping on the fence. For one, yes, my dog is so fat, but so fat and old that it can't jump. 2, there is a bush bordering the fence that my fat dog couldn't squeeze between and jump on the fence if it wanted to, and third, the planks collapsed into the yard on to the bush. When presented with this information, I got cussed out, insulted with anything you could think of. Then he said he's not my chore boy and it my job to upkeep the fence. I have pages and pages of emails from this man berating me, making excuses, accepting no responsibility, stating it's not his fault he didn't have the proper tools (w**), that it's not his fault it had a manufacturing defect (so now I know he passed off bad material) to lastly his well dried up and he moved all the way to Maine. Emails are attached so you can't say I'm lying this time."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Bangor, ME

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.
