"I appreciated the quick response when I was looking for drywall repair. However, the man they sent indicated right up front he really didn't know much about drywall and how to do it. While I appreciated his honesty, and he did a adequate job for me, I am quite disappointed that Mr. Handyman would send someone who didn't have experience in this area. For the cost ($150.00/hr) I would have expected someone with more experience. Bob, our workman, was very personable, a good worker, and for the smaller job that I had, did an acceptable job."

"Our main bath room always did have a tub in it. And all of the walls were tiled and while the tub had the spout set up like there was a shower there was no shower. This year we decided it was time to stop running down stairs to take a shower (it gets cold in the basemen in the winter) anyway there was some of the pluming already in place for a shower and there may have been one. So we had Vander Hyde do the work and at this time it looks like they did a good job! It looks nice and seems to work. It cost more because we had the old two handle water   faucet replaced with a single one and there was some added title work done. Like I said it looks very nice. One issue that I will bring up is at first they only sent one person over and he did not seem to have a clue as to what had to be done. And in fact he had to call the boss over and the job ended up needing 3 people to complete and even with the 3 of them it took a good 3 to 4 hours.

"Extremely well. James was very professional. He answered questions via phone/e-mails quickly. His pricing was competitive. He even offered the solution to grout the gap left on the tiled floors after removing the old baseboards so that the new ones would sit level with the floor. No one else offered this solution. You still have to grout at the end because there will still be a gap because the tile is not level, but a lot less work due to the first step. Workmanship was great. He worked steady and was neat and clean. Finished my house in 2 days."

"work was done ok on time etc. just found spots later that were missed, and windows were not clean due to overspray and lack of clean up.  I will take blame for not calling and complaining sooner, but just upset feeling it should have been done right the first time.

"I tried to change the door knobs by myself in our new home but wasn't able to line them up correctly. I gave Jim a call as a first time customer and he was here promptly to take care of it for me. He was very polite and reasonably priced. I will definitely be calling him for more jobs in the future."

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