"I hired Bill for a full bathroom renovation. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect the quality suggested by his reviews. The workmanship throughout the project was consistently below industry standards and required constant oversight. The attached photo is just one example of Bill's work - instead of repainting a 4? x 6? ceiling section after drywall patching, Bill simply brushed paint over the patched area?leaving an obvious mismatch that he considered ?complete.? This type of shortcut was a recurring issue. I found myself having to inspect nearly every task to ensure it was done correctly. When I raised concerns about things like visible flaws or rushed finishes, Bill often dismissed them with responses like, ?You won?t see that once the toilet is installed.? That kind of mindset does not reflect pride in workmanship or respect for the homeowner. I would not recommend him for any project where precision, planning, or high standards matter. "

"We contracted for 2 small projects. The first project, replacement of support beams for a pergola was completed. The second project was to replace posts that had rotten wood with new wood posts. They were on the second floor of a roof. Ian did not replace the wood but rather spackled and painted over. He verbally indicated they were replaced and completed as contracted. We paid him in full and not until a few days later did we realize he did not complete the job. We have tried calling and texting over 20 times, yet he ignores all communication. I will take responsibility for not inspecting before paying. But he should take responsibility for not completing the job and not responding."

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.
