"Never never buy from these thieves! We bought 8 windows to be replaced on the 12th of March 2025. The 17th of May they came to install. They didn't replace our windows. They inserted smaller windows into the old window frames(less light in the house). So now we have old cracked visible window frames. Silicone seals were not replaced. And the double hung windows can only open a third of the height, not half way up."

For over 30 years, Chimney Cricket has served the Philadelphia area with comprehensive chimney restoration, full service chimney repairs, quality chimney inspections, and reliable chimney sweeping. Why choose Chimney Cricket? Simple. We love chimneys! We are more than certified sweeps, inspectors, and masons. Each of our technicians share a passion for their work. We love the challenge of troubleshooting chimney problems and enjoy restoring masonry chimneys.

"We’re enjoying the heat and beauty of our new fireplace as I write this! Chimney Cricket supported us through a tough series of errors caused by manufacturer’s lack of support. Finally they were able to locate the errors and get our beautiful new fireplace up and running. My only word of warning to folks considering installation of a new fireplace: make sure the model you select has a track record of easy installation and servicing, and that the manufacturer is known for standing behind their products."

Looking for a family-owned company with quality products and lifetime warranties? You have found us here at Aspen Home Improvements. Contact us today for information on window replacement!

"Hi On 08/15 the salesperson (James) came to my house to speak to be about Aspen home improvement. He was very nice, polite and very professional. I like his presentation including information about the company having great customer service. I also spoke to the manager (David Diller) that day and he seemed like a nice person. I choose this company because of his presentation and the customer service review. There were two other companies that came from Angie’s list that had a cheaper quote but I wasn't impressed with their presentation. Both of the other two companies were $500-$1,000 cheaper than Aspen. My appointment for roof replacement was scheduled for 08/26/2019 and 08/27 and they changed to 08/30 because it rained one day in the previous week. When I spoke to the person and I mention that it was changed from two to one day, she said that the manager review and said that it would take one day. She also states that if it wasn’t done they would finish it on the next day (Saturday). When I got home from work at 4 pm on Friday ( 08/30/2019) they had removed all roof but they only added shingles to the top of the house (The porch and Sunroom weren’t done). About an hour or so later they were all packing up to leave and not a single person said a word to me, so I thought that they were done. When I went out and check they still haven’t applied shingles to the porch or sunroom roof. No one called me or said anything, so I asked if they were coming back the next day and he said “no” maybe sometime next week. He also said that they didn’t have any shingle left. I had to force him to call his manager to find out when they would be coming back and he said the manager said Tuesday. It rained two times before they came back to finish it. They came back the following Thursday (09/05/2019) to finish. When I came home I notice they there were a lot of nails that came straight through the roof of both the sunroom and the porch. I also notice they did not installed the new drip edge or pipe collar as stated in the contract. Other things are not very easy to spot. The money was released to them on 09/02/2019 and they still haven’t come back to resolve these issues as of 09/10/2019. I am very disappointed in their lack of communication skills, very poor quality and lack of customer service. My next step will be to send this information to the Better Business and get the issue resolved. I paid $6,995 for this service."

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