"Ricardo called the next day and he met with me as agreed. His bid was the most fair for a Great room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 11 stairs, foyer and entertainment room. He also agreed to do the job as requested over a two week period. He helped us move heavy furniture which not many would do. He and his crew were very nice. The floors came out Great! Thanks"

"Their price was treasonable compared to other bids. They did a great job and were able to complete it in 2 days because they built the railings in their shop. Their team was professional and the owner very responsive."

"It was a difficult project requiring the removal of current siding, then significant patching, sanding and carpentry to prepare the original clapboard for paint. The crew was very hard working and super creative when it came to solving problems. They showed up on time every day and finished the project according to schedule. The price was very reasonable and no surprise charges. We are very pleased with AAA and would highly recommend them."

"Everything from the call to empire to the installation went very quickly and smoothly. If you see a carpet you like but find that it's to expensive, do not become discouraged the agent will ask you what is a good price for you. He/she will give you options, they want your business. Do be up front with empire."

"Valley first called to confirm the appointment for looking at the existing condition of the old railings. Then they measured the space for the new railings. I was given some pictures that I was to choose from. Valley then made another appointment to remove and replace the old railings
with new ones

Valley showed up on time for the removal and installation of the new railings. The people were courteous, friendly and best of all, they were very professional and extremely knowledgeable of their trade. They removed the old railings and of all of the garbage that went with them, took the trash outside & placed it in their van & I never saw it again. They then proceeded to install the new railings with the required posts and ballesters that were needed.

Once the new railings were installed, they were very sturdy and secure and really looked great. I was very happy with their service and would definitely use them again, if the need was to arise. I'm quite sure that if other people were to use Valley for their railing service, I'm quite sure they will be just as happy as we are; they really know their stuff. Thanks for a really nice high quality job; the railings look like they were installed in a brand new home."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Clinton, NJ

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.
