"Rich is a very friendly guy who explained what he was going to do and gave me an estimate. He came to look at the job on Saturday and repaired the Newell post that was broken and completely off the stairs and on Monday morning he installed it and cleaned up entirely and also tightened the stair rail by installing a bracket. When I got home from work and inspected the job done by Rich I was completely satisfied and so was my wife and we will use Rich again if we need to. Highly recommend his services."

"This past September I had a small incident in my upstairs bathroom and my toilet overfilled and dumped water all over the floor. Since my tile is was laid all the way back in the 90s I've had quite a few cracks on them, through which water sipped through by the time I got to it. Few days later I noticed that the drywall over the kitchen table ceiling began to bulk and a large yellow stain appeared. Since I knew that I did not have an active leak I figured I need to reach out to a painting company to address the area. I contacted LHI Painting and a very nice young man came out to look at the area. I thought that maybe the job would be too small for them if I only wanted the ceiling repaired so I asked to give me a quote on reprinting the walls in the room as well. The nice man actually tried to talk me out of reprinting the walls since they were worked on only several years ago and as I mentioned to him I was retired. He also mentioned that I will be receiving a 15% senior citizen discount at the end of the project which was very nice of him to mention. After getting a quote, the number I was given was low enough for me to proceed with doing the repairs and refreshing the walls. The gentleman that came out to do the project was also very pleasant and polite. He completed the project to a perfection and made perfect cuts which my last painting company did not do a very good job at. This is a great company that cares about senior citizens and does what they can to those who need it. Chivalry is existent in this company and I wish them many more years of success."

"We purchased this home on a Friday and decided earlier that week that the hardwood floors needed to be refinished before we moved in the following week. Allen stepped up and offered to do the job over the weekend. The house is nearly 100 years old and it looked like a previous owner tried to refinish the floors themselves and it showed. The rooms also have baseboard heat so it made the job a little more tricky. Allen was hoping that he'd be able to get a smooth finish and in the end, the floor looked 1000% better. Allen truly did appear to love his job and in today's society, how many contractors would give up their weekend."

"I can only say great things about JA Drywall. We had quite a complicated chimney repair. From the beginning of the process, this company stood out from all the others. Most companies did not return my calls. One did respond but never showed up to start work. The JA Drywall owner came to our initial appointment on time, evaluated the job and gave us a reasonable and fair estimate. The work crew then came on time and worked really hard for two days to repair the chimney. At each stage they kept us informed of progress. They did a wonderful job, kept the site clean and tidied up once job completed. On top of their excellent work, they are a team of friendly and courteous workers, who also took care of a few other things that needed attention. I would recommend this company to all who are looking for quality work by a friendly team at a reasonable price."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Glenolden, 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.
