"Martin is awesome! He is excellent at what he does. In my home you can't even tell where he patched, sanded, and stained the existing floor. I will definitely call him when I need more floor work done."

"Marcus showed up on time to look at the damage and give me an estimate. He was very professional and performed the work promptly He and his laborer did a great job and cleaned up very well. I will have him put the air conditioner into a side wall in the spring when it's warmer. I am very pleased with his work. He also did a couple of very small jobs for me at no additional cost which I appreciated very much. I am more than happy to give him a great review and to recommend him as a contractor."

"We are getting all the windows and doors from our 1880 house stripped.   Each has MANY years old paint on them.   They have done a good job of removing the old paint from these.  

Normally these are completed in a week.   

Call before you go there as they are not always open during their stated hours.

They state that they are willing to pick up or do on site too, but we have always brought everything there.

"Felipe Sanchez came the same day I called to look at my fathers floor (Saturday June 8th). He gave my family an estimate later that day that included materials and labor with the understanding that he would let us know what was going on under the floor. We saw mold and Mr. Sanchez took photos and showed us what was going on under the crawl space. He laid down plastic in the hall way and was very neat and clean. He showed us the structural problem and what needed to be repaired and what the additional cost would be (he was extremely fair and so worth the price). He ripped out the old rotten wood and cut away the drywall where the mold was and disposed of it. He replaced the wood and insulated the floor and repaired the drywall and put in a new floor that would support the new washer. I attached a few photos but I couldn't get the last one of the finished product to upload, but believe me, It is amazing and we are so happy. I was only in town for my fathers 90th birthday and Mr. Sanchez sent photos and descriptions, and cost to me everyday for the two days he was there. I'm keeping his name and number in case my dad needs and repairs to his house in the future. Great work, nice man, very clean, on time, and very fair! I'd hire hime again in a heartbeat."

"Once again Paul did a great job. His estimates were very fair and the finished rooms look like they were always there. They removed our entryway closet to add that space to our dining room, closed off that wall, tiled our entryway, placed new trim & baseboards, stained our front door and repainted the space. In our dining room, they reframed a wall, placed insulation under the floors & wall, installed sconces, installed new trim, baseboards, and chair rail, added flooring to the new space of the room, drywalled, and painted the room. They completed the job in about a week and cleaned up after themselves before they left for the day. Paul and his crew are very professional and flexible with your schedule, which is always appreciated."

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