"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."

"Yes the work was done. The two guys that came put in 7 windows and two big bay windows in one day. They did not even taken a break. They cleaned up the small pieces of scrap. Then one week later they came back and put in two new doors with the same professionalism when they did my doors."

"They were extremely professional leaving the work area at the end of the day cleaner than when they started. He was extremely patient with installing the backsplash making it perfectly straight even around windows and corners. Pricing was extremely reasonable and I’m planning on hiring them for fireplace tiles and basement flooring."

"I found Mr Gomes to be a breath of fresh air in terms of my dealings with him compared to many contractors.
He has a good breadth of knowledge regarding home construction and repair and was able to address the issues I had promptly and efficiently. He came when he said he would come, provided an accurate and fair assessment and did the work with a high degree of quality and craftsmanship.
He had been referred to me by a co-worker who recommended him to me highly and I was quite pleased overall. I give him high marks and recommend him as well.

"Great! This company is professional, easy to work with, and offers a great value for the service. I did the leg work and compared them and their pricing with that of several dumpster companies and will continue to use the BullBag. Their pricing always blows the dumpsters away - BullBag doesn't charge by how much it weighs like a dumpster does AND I get to keep my BullBag. I don't have to wait for a dumpster to be delivered either."

"Creative Painting (Chris Pino) painted the entire exterior of our house (body and trim) and our garage (trim). The highlights of my experience with Chris are: - Our house was transformed from a mess to looking beautiful. - Totally satisfied. - Very reasonable price. - Chris and crew are nice, hard-working people. It was a pleasure having them on site. - Chris is easy to get ahold of on the phone, and responds quickly to emails. He often calls in the evening to report on the day's progress. - Chris did everything he said he'd do, and then some, in a timely manner. - Chris is on site every day, and worked every weekday (weather permitting) until the job was finished. When Chris came out to the house to give an estimate, the one thing that really impressed me was how he quickly went over every square inch of the house explaining what needed to be done, what he would do about it, how he would do this or that to protect the landscaping, where he would put drop cloths to ensure there was no mess left behind, etc. He noticed all sorts of details that I never would have. It quickly because abundantly clear that he knew his stuff down to the smallest detail. It was easy to see the value of dealing with someone with nearly 30 years experience. After he provided the estimate, I peppered him with questions for the next few days. He was very responsive and answered all to my satisfaction, so I was quite comfortable giving him the job. He provided suggestions on colors. We went with his suggestion to paint the doors black, and we LOVE it! He worked with the paint supply shop to duplicate the color we used previously for the body of the house. Our house began as a real mess, as we had put off the painting for a few too many years. The results was that we had LOTS of peeling and bare wood, especially on the south-facing side. Chris and crew spent many hours scraping and priming and making absolutely sure that the surfaces were adequately prepared before applying the finishing coats. Besides painting, two doors were replaced, rotted wood was addressed, some downspouts were replaced, and several other tasks. He even fixed some problems caused by guy who replaced our roof last year. Everything came out great. Chris Pino has the basic work ethic that I think everyone wants (but doesn't get) out of every contractor they hire, namely this: It is AS important or MORE important to Chris than it is to his customer that the job gets done the right way in every detail. I'd hire the guy again in a heartbeat. (Note: the cost of service that I indicated includes the painting and carpentry work done. They also did some minor demolition, waste removal and downspout cleaning for a few hundred more.)"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Barre, 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.
