"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

"I was pleased to have the issues resolved when Tom showed up after contacting other companies as well who never responded. He was professional and personable and was able to take care of most of what I needed repaired immediately. Some things require more time and he will come back and fix those things when his schedule allows. I am glad to have some of the issues with my plumbing settled and the faucets that were fixed work great!"

I’ve worked in commercial carpentry for 3 years with the union. Decided to switch to remodeling and worked for a company called Cortese Construction for the last 3 years. There I learned how to renovate both large and small kitchen and bathrooms. I can set cabinets, install LVP flooring, tile, hang and finish drywall, paint, install windows and doors, trim, and framing. I can work in the Erie and Niagara county areas.

"Vin and his crew far exceeded our expectations! The property line fence that they constructed for us is the work of craftsmen. They are friendly, knowledgeable and they did the work in a timely manner. The price was great, and the result is a quality made fence made by a company of hard working guys. We would definitely recommend them! AAA+++"

"I called Jim toward the end of August to get an estimate for patching a large hole in my kitchen ceiling due to a plumbing situation that had been finally resolved. I also wanted him to patch a hole in an upstairs bedroom wall and a crack in a bathroom wall. He gave me an estimate of $350, which was within my budget, so I asked him how much he would charge to paint the kitchen ceiling and a small powder room ceiling where the plumbing problem had left a stain. He felt the whole kitchen ceiling should be repainted in order to get a uniform look, and I agreed. He quoted me an additional $100 plus paint to do the ceilings. I thought maybe I could do the painting myself, so we contracted to have him come out to do the drywall repair the following week. Jim arrived promptly and set to work. It took him all morning and well into the afternoon to do the patches. He worked meticulously and was very careful about using plastic to protect floors, counters, and furniture. I was extremely impressed with the results, and so I asked him to return and do the painting for me as well, which he did the following week. Again, I couldn't be happier with my "new" kitchen ceiling! It is flawless. I will definitely put Jim at the top of my list for major and minor repairs to my home if I need someone in the future. He was pleasant, polite, and industrious. I am very pleased to highly recommend him on Angie's list.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Buffalo, NY

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.
