"James is very detail oriented and was the only one of the four individuals to provide estimates that checked under the back porch for rot which was there and definitely would have added to the cost, however, he found it and accounted for it. In doing the job, James is very passionate about his work and makes sure that it is done right.  His work with wood is exceptional."

My name is Gabriel Taylor. I attended Colombia College with a Bachelor of Arts. Upon graduation, i entered the advertising world fabricating models and props for t.v. and print ads. My knowledge of tools expanded greatly. Having always been handy, this fine tuning of shop skills led me to realize that there's much more job availability in home repair/ remodeling/ etc. Now, with 25 years of experience under my thumb, there is little that i haven't come across in the world of trade work. From electrical, carpentry, plumbing, painting, locksmithing, tile, etc., i always deliver quality results with a strong artistic awareness and touch. Caring for the customers wants and needs is primary. I believe in giving them exactly what i would want in a skilled worker in my home. Kindness, honesty, cleanliness, reliability, and quality results.

"My wife and I needed additional railings in our house given recent mobility issues and Martin Hardwood Flooring did an amazing job.  Guests frequently comment how beautiful the railings look and how well it matches previously existing railings.  Martin Hardwood Flooring was first to call to look at the job and first to bid.  The work was begun very soon after we accepted the bid and was completed in a single long day.  The effort, time and craftsmanship was impressive to witness.  In addition, the price was more than fair for the quality supplies and hours worked on our project.

We quickly asked Martin Hardwood Flooring to work on a second job, creating smoother transitions between hardwood flooring and tile flooring in our kitchen and bathrooms.  As before, the work was done in a very timely basis with great skill and yielded a beautiful result.  The effort and diligence of the workers was impressive.  The workers were very polite and careful not to make a mess.  

I will use Martin Hardwood Flooring for all future projects and want to recommend Martin Hardwood Flooring to everyone with a hardwood flooring house project.  The modifications to our home were very important to my wife and I and we feel so fortunate that the projects were completed with such care and skill.

"Great from start to finish. I contacted them via email and they asked me to send pictures of the stairs that we wanted completed. He sent me a quote which was extremely fair. They scheduled the work for several weeks out and were able to deliver on that timeline. The guy that did the work was very skilled, but also very clean and neat. He went to great lengths to ensure that each day the work area was cleaned up and vacuumed of most dust. The stairs came out beautiful and we're very happy."

"Hans not only fixed the hose bib he also installed a shutoff valve to that water access so we can turn the water off during the winter. Last winter on a warm winter day my wife turned on the water and burst it again, there was ice in the line. If it were'n for the shutoff valve hans installed we would have had to turn the water off for the entire house. Thanks Hans, your great foresight saved the day!!"

"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."

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