"They were great.  They called prior to coming to confirm their arrival time.  I added a couple items to the list of things I needed done and it was not a problem.  It took several hours to complete everything and they were courteous and checked with me along the way to ensure things were done as I wished and placed where wanted.  Nate was great and I have recommended him to several of my friend who needed electric work completed.

"Worker's were excellent. On time, cleaned up after themselves. Were gentlemanly well mannered, quiet & considerate. Took several bids- Highest was $25,000.00 - $15,000, $10,000. Excaliber was lowest but did a complicated excellent job. We could not be happier."

"Really great job.
Came to estimate my job less than 24 hours after my first call.
One of his employees did the work.  It was done professionally.  Clean, no over paint.
Floors and furniture well protected.
I added another project to the job half way thru. (paint garage door)
He quoted me on the phone, and got that done in the same day.
Very Happy with the work.

"I bought an Angie's list deal for dry wall repair but really they just spread some spackle on it and left it rough. I had to scrape off the blobs of spackle left on the ceiling. My boyfriend could have done the same job. I wanted them to actually replace the dry wall where it was cracking. Mainly they wanted to sell me more jobs and pushed me to sign on with them to get new insulation in the attic. I had them give me an estimate on rain gutters while they were here. Their estimate/prices are very high. I think they have to pay for all those people manning the phones. It sounds like a boiler room when they call."

"James and his crew EXCEEDED our EXPECTATIONS! We were given a prompt detailed quote to fix the back porch of our 106 year old historic Craftsman home in San Diego Mission Hills. After giving us a not too far out date to complete the job, these neat and polite gentlemen even took care of a couple other additional minor repairs - and still kept to their original price! We'll continue to use their professional service as historic homes like ours do require the kind of careful periodic care Gallenberger Construction has shown us they deliver."

"My husband and I hired Alex to change our kitchen sink and install a bedroom ceiling light and we are very pleased with the work he did and the price he gave us. He explained the whole process and finished the job faster than what we expected! We would definitely use him again if we need any work done around the house. Highly recommend!!"

"The handyman, Quinn, was competent and pleasant, but he communicated poorly with the glass supplier.  One broken bathroom window pane needed to be replaced, and an exact match to the existing glass in the other two panes could not be found.  I told Quinn that I might want to replace all three panes so that they'd match.   After he changed out the broken pane, I decided that I did want to change the other two for an exact match. It was only at that point the glass supplier told Quinn he didn't have matching glass in stock, that it had to be ordered.   Therefore a one day job became a three day job while we waited for the glass to come in, and temporary panes had to be put in so there'd be no holes in the house during a weekend away.   When the "matching" glass came in almost a week later, it was not an exact match - this is frosted bathroom glass, and per the handyman, because the glass was from a different lot, some pieces were more opaque than others.   It's my feeling that SOME of the fault lies with the glass supplier and SOME with the lack of communication between Mr. Handyman and the glass supplier.  The job took 3 times as long as the estimate, and my glass panes are NOT an exact match although that is what I wanted.

"Diego, Hector and team were very thorough. I had multiple quotes, in their quote they spent the most time reviewing the roof before providing a quote on what was needed. The quote & final invoice was aligned with what our neighbors had done 2 years ago. They were online everyday and completed the work ahead of schedule. I work from home so I was able to watch the work as it was done. I would highly recommend them. It's a family owned business and their hearts is in the work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Borrego Springs, CA

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.
