"This contractor is HORRIBLE. I hired them based on Angie's list recommendation and the really good reviews. BIG MISTAKE! I hired Black Rock Renovations (Javier LaRue) to build a shadow box cedar fence and it was a nightmare. One major thing Mr. LaRue did was place the posts outside the fence line, changing the entire look of the fence. He did this without consulting with me. He also cut the pickets at the bottom of the fence different lengths, he left holes where pickets should have been and did not cut the wood correctly leaving it looking very sloppy. There were several pickets that were used to build the fence that were split and damaged. When I asked him to fix the fence posts to match the shadow box design I paid for, he said that I would have to pay for it. I was already paying him over $7000 for the fence so I asked for a discount since he wasn't willing to fix his mistake on his dime. He told me he would give me 5% off the labor cost which would have been $150 but only if I leave him a 5-star review. He also left my neighborâ s side of the fence undone for over a week not saying anything to me about needing to finish it. As far as he told me the fence was complete. I had to email him several times, call, and text him and meet with him in person to show him the mistakes that needed to be fixed before I paid him for the job. He felt he did the fence correctly and often argued with me even after I showed him the major mistakes he made. He also threatened to file a mechanics lien on my property if I hired another contractor to fix his mistakes without paying him the rest of the money. Mr. LaRue's company is only two years old, and it shows. He makes promises that he doesn't keep and then denies later that he made. He speaks professionally and carries himself well, which is another reason I felt that using him was a good choice. Donâ t be fooled. Donâ t make the mistake I made. He will send someone to do a sloppy job and he will not care what you think about it. I am stuck with a fence that I paid over $7,000 for that does not look the way it is supposed to look nor is it built with the quality and standards that you would expect a fence costing over $7,000 to be."

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."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Cumberland, MD

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.
