"Fast and reasonable quote, good availability, good job performance, and helpful. Trevor was also able to fix our attic stairs at little to no cost, while others told us it would be very expense. I’ve used TJM in the past, and I certainly look forward to using them on future jobs."

"Our basement looks amazing and this is in large part to Mike and Dave's work. Mike was professional, courteous, always on time, and super clean. His work looks amazing and we are so happy with the result. He did the crown moulding around the ceiling and trim around the doors and floor, built us a bar-like area, opened a wall and completed a railing for our stairs, and did all of our tile work (shower walls and floor as well as bar area). In addition, he constructed built-in shelves in a giant closet that exceeded our expectations. We will refer him to anyone that is looking for carpentry or even tile work! So happy we found him!"

"I was home during the work and was able to observe the entire process. The work was done on time and in a highly professional manner. Very pleased with the work and product. Not only did he repair the problem but made it better than the original work by upgrading the materials. He also found an additional problem that he fixed without additional cost. As he finished he made sure the job site was clean and tidy."

"Service was very good.  They prepped the wood and painted all the wood trim on my home.  They also replaced 6 boards.  They kept the boards that they replaced so that we could see them.  They also accommodated a last minute add of painting the trim around the front door.  Additionally, they called and suggested that we paint the gutters as that was not in the original quote saying that they thought it would not look as good if we didn't, and they were right.  We were able to add on the gutters at a very small price.  The overall price came in very close to their quote. 
My trim hadn't been painted in about 20 years, and what a difference the paint job made.  It was very neat and thoroughly done.  And they left the left over paint for me.
The employees on the premises were very polite and very good about cleaning up after themselves.  I did find a couple of nails that they had missed laying on the ground, but not a big deal. 
I was very happy with this company and would recommend them.

They were prompt, the sales was low-pressure, the door itself was lifetime warranted, and the install was smooth.  After the install they cleaned up the mess and remove the old door.  Because the door was lifetime warranted, All Weather Seal has come out to repair it in the past, and has always been as professional as ever.  An excellent company, I have used them to replace all of my windows as well. Highly recommended!

"Before replacing the tub, he had to build up the walls so he could attach the new tub and walls of tub. He and his co worker both worked very hard and steady. Nice to talk to. Informative. Quality work. Both men. I liked the fact that Chad was going to stick to his first quote with us, even though neither of us knew about the need to build up the existing walls before his quote. He not only tore out existing tub, he took all waste materials with him. He is a patient man and works without complaint. Twice I had to go and exchange wrong parts I had bought, and he just kept working on other things until I returned. A few days later I heard from him with a follow up call. He wanted to know if there were any problems. There weren't any. He offers integrity and quality work. I would and will recommend  All Around Plumbing LLC to anyone with a plumbing need.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in East Lansing, MI

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.
