"We had a total remodel of our kitchen with removal of walls and basically everything gutted down to the studs. Jim work with us through the initial design of the kitchen all the way through the final walk through. Our kitchen is FANTASTIC! Jim was able to provide valuable insight throughout the process and guided us through all of the key decisions on layout and construction plans. When challenges came up or unexpected repairs were needed, Jim explained the approach and got everything set up perfectly. Our kitchen is now the focal point in our house and we are so happy we went with Lockhart Construction!"

"My husband and I could not be more pleased with the outstanding and polite service we received. We wanted to remodel our master bedroom that looked awful, we needed wall paper removal in the master bathroom and also drywall repair on the ceiling. They took care of everything for us they did wonders to our master bed and bathroom. Above all they were very polite and professional. The owner was very communicative and made sure to explain to us every step of the process. Their work exceeded our expectations and their price was very reasonable. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

"We called for an estimate after seeing a deal here on Angie's List. George Andreadis came and gave me a price as well as a pretty detailed and comprehensive overview of the company, their process, my roof, and the cost. He was very cordial and informative...a real nice guy! I felt good about the process and the price when he left so we called to schedule the installation. The crew that arrived were amazing! They were courteous, efficient, and very thorough. Due to my yard and the condition of the roof there was quite a bit more labor involved than anticipated. They plowed right through and made all of the necessary repairs and corrections. Clean-up was treated with as much attention to detail as was the installation. There were no issues whatsoever at settlement time. The price that we agreed upon was the price I paid. During the estimate, George gave me the price for extra plywood that might have been needed and that was the price upon completion. No messing around! We are so pleased with the work performed, George and his crew, and the care we received that we are having them do our gutters as well within the next couple of weeks. I highly recommend Premier Home Renovations!

"Montco was one of 3 fence installers we had out to give an estimate on installing a vinyl privacy fence in our yard. Bill (the owner, I believe) came and one of the first things he said was that we should just do wire along the back of the yard instead of vinyl since there is already a wall of evergreen trees there. It would save us a big chunk of money (probably about 2K) and also make the yard feel less boxed in. He was the only one of the 3 contractors to suggest this and it made us feel like he actually cared. He listened to our concerns about keeping the fence as low as possible to keep the dogs in and was the only contractor who seemed fully confident in his ability to get the fence installed on a sizable incline without stepping the panels."

"We called JP Galloway to get a price quote. John responded very quickly. He came out and within two days we had an estimate. He gave us a good price and we decided to go with him. This was our first time using John. He was very professional and work was excellent. I would definitely use him again. I have recommended John to many of my family and friends. What I like about John is that he is very dependable and trustworthy and does great work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Claymont, DE

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.
