"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE- it's been 2 and a half years and our home is still not finished!!!!!! Poor communication, poor follow-through, poor organization--the owner of this Paul Davis branch caused so much undue stress and out-of-pocket money charges. He looses documents, fails to meet deadlines (told insurance company, mortgage company, and us the job would be done in a year and we are still waiting for it to be done 2 and a half years later). High turn-over is the norm with this branch--we are on our 4th project manager. Things have gone missing in the home, can't provide numbers and spreadsheets documenting costs (only when persistently asked for and having corporate involved does he get one to us), says one thing but then does another. For example, 8 months and running, and they still have not completed painting our house. Many times we agreed on projects and contractors only to turn around and have Paul Davis do something else which always resulted in things going wrong and having to be redone (and costing us out-of-pocket money--for example stairs had to be redone twice because of poor quality and poor oversight for getting someone other than who we agreed on). Custom molding was redone twice after the first time it was done wrong. And many other mistakes which are too exhaustive to list. We had to get corporate involved numerous times and are still waiting for them to help us resolve matters. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! It pains us to have to write such a bad review--but we do not wish anyone else to have to experience what we did (and are still going through)."

I learned that quality work will always pay off in the end, and that's what Krafts are known for.\nI specialize in home improvements, repairs and remodeling. From installing a toilet to complete bathroom remodel. So if its broken, needs to be improved, or just replaced with something new I'm your guy.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Columbia, SC

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.
