"We hired Rick to replace an iron railing (original to the home ~ 1970) with a more modern looking wooden and black iron railing. He provided an estimate, committed to the work and was communicative throughout the entire process. The railing looks great and is exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend"

"I originally hired Wally to replace two support beams that span a bilco opening on my 200+ year old stone house. The job was very delicate because temporary supports had to be installed before the original log beams could be removed. I had visions of my entire 3-story stone wall collapsing, but once I saw how meticulously his crew worked and the incredible results I knew that it had been done right. Once I realized Wally’s ability, I quickly hired him to do other repairs which included: -Replacing a beam in the basement -Thorosealing the stone foundation wall in the basement -Replacing two concrete pads on my sidewalk that were cracked -Fixing a 3’x3’ sink hole in my driveway -Pour a concrete pad for my Generac generator to sit on -Filling in an old vent hole and landscaping to ensure that the ground next to the house slopes away from the house When it comes to your home, there is little that Wally and his team can’t do. I give Manfredia's Carpentry my highest recommendation."

"I thought that this project was going to cost me a lot more than it did. I thought the ceiling would have to be completely replaced, he assured me it didn't and he repaired it instead. He did an excellent job."

"The best experience I've ever had with a contractor. The owner, Isaias Caceres, provided expert advice on how to complete our project. His workers were highly skilled and courteous, cleaning the worksite at the end of each day. Our finished basement has never looked better than it does now, as a result of this work. This is a company that I'll hire again in a heartbeat."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Bryn Mawr, PA

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.
