"After having a contractor walk out on me without finishing the job I dealt with this hideous stair case. That was up until I met Phillip! I found him on Angi & within just a few days he was able to come and evaluate the work that I needed. Not only on the stair case but other unfinished project in just 2 days he completely flipped my home. Mounted my TV, installed new baseboard and trim, finished my flooring (also redoing the questionable DIY areas I did myself) and gave me this beautiful stairs case. Not only did he pick up the supplies for me but also stained and painted it all. He is meticulous in his work and takes pride in each project he does. Truly a great person and handy man to keep around. He is both trustworthy and reliable. Needless to say I will be calling Phillip for all future projects. Thanks so much again."

"Dan and his son did a great job repairing a damaged plaster wall. The wall looks new! They also removed a wall/window AC unit and installed window, complete with beautiful new trim around the window. They had to remove siding and cut through the exterior wall of the house to enlarge the opening for the new window. The finished job looks beautiful."

"I hired Alex to do a bathroom. And then to do some windows. The gentleman that came to do the bathroom floor worked very hard. He complained not once. He started in the morning, and left the same evening. Very good guy. The gentleman that came to do the windows was also very professional. He knocked it out. Quickly. Without any problems. They are a no nonsense crew. All professionals. I had my math wrong at the end. I was apparently going to charge myself an extra $600! Alex corrected me and charged me the right amount. They do good work and they do not overcharge you. Get a quote from Alex."

"We had Mark and his crew make our Kitchen/Dining room into one big kitchen. Which requires removing a wall and putting vinyl plank flooring in new kitchen and Living room and ceramic tile in the foyer and powder room and laundry room. Also they put new lights in the kitchen. They did a awesome job. It was done in a timely manner at a very reasonable price. They cleaned up from their work each day before leaving. We would definitely recommend them for any of your home needs."

"Dale was very professional and meticulous in the work he did to repair our kitchen ceiling. We had a hard time getting together at first due to his busy schedule but he made time on a Sunday to due to the work which was above and beyond what we expected. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a skilled drywall installation or repair person . We are thinking of using his services again for other projects in the future."

"

service was done very well.

It was done Professionally and at a good price.


We have used them also in the past to repair our aging wood pillar in the front porch, repaired the sliding door and replaced worn screens of our storm windows.


All done well and to our expectation.

Nice to have them available to do things that need to be done around the house, that us a homeowners, sometimes do not have the time to do it ourselves


Certainly would use them again.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Ephrata, PA

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.
