"They did a great job. Our older wood siding was peeling badly. They did a great job power-washing and prepping all the surfaces and the paint job looks awesome. Courteous and helpful in giving me tips on how to help the paint job last well. Answer my many questions professionally, accurately, and promptly. Would hire again for sure!"

"David and 1 of his workers were kind enough to come to my home to fix my sliding door so it would slide on a Sunday morning. They were back to replace the door on Monday. They were on time, efficient and even replaced the wood facing because the new door didn't fit exactly the same as the old door. I will definitely have them do my next job which hopefully won't be an emergency like the first job. While they were here, I also asked them to hang my Christmas lights and fix my flag stone path. They were efficient and affordable. I highly recommend them."

"It went great the cubbies weren't in original plans but I had expressed that I would like an area for the kids to put their things after school. Joe suggested cubbies like at school. I said maybe later. Well he put it together really quickly before he packed the old shelves up and showed me. it was great but how much more would it be. He said it's your wood and was already built just needed legs. No charge!!!"

"

Wonderful job on both the painting for the development, and the staining of my deck. Probably the best quality painting that we have ever had in our development. From the beginning, the work, work order, estimate process, etc. was handled in a top knotch way. I have had a number of contacts with the company's owner, Colby, and he has shown himself to operate a well run company.He is very businesslike, returns calls promptly, and has people there when he promises.  I also had dealt quite a bit with Josh, who directly supervised the overall process. Josh is very cooperative, understanding, and very helpful. He always came through on his committments, and it made for a very pleasant experience.


The painting crew, led by Arturo, was by far the best group of painters we have used. I got many comments from other homewoners in the development who were very impressed with their work. They are meticulous in what they do, and the final product shows it.

"We called Ace looking for help in refinishing our kitchen floors. There was so much glue, old paper, nails & screws in the wood from years over overlaying. Ace knew exactly how to take care of each issue for us. The floors were sanded down so nicely & 3 coats of protection brought this old wood back to new life. We are very pleased with the results as they were better than expected. Ace did such a great job, we look forward to having them come back to refinish our entire house. Marvin is a wonderful man who definitely maintains an old school work ethic we rarely see anymore these days. Five stars"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Fithian, IL

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.
