"We were initially looking to paint our house and detached garage. Unfortunately, some things changed with our refi and we needed to revamp our plans; we could only do the garage (and get some pointing done on the chimney). We worked with Erick Granados (he was fantastic), and he was able to quickly provide a new estimate, which allowed us to move forward with the project. The painters were professional, they did great work, and at the end of the day they cleaned up the area around the garage. When they noticed a small issue with the garage roof, they devised a great solution that was cost effective. When the entire job was finished, they cleaned up the surrounding area, which made the whole presentation of their work look even better. Once the garage was complete, they moved on to the chimney. We own a 1936 Tudor, which has a very tall chimney. Some of the bricks began to chip away and the plaster around the chimney was falling off to the ground. The repairs look fantastic. Erick came by the house the next day and discussed the finished job with me. I appreciated his professionalism and followup to make sure we were happy. My wife and I are very pleased with the work done by Wilber's Painting and the service by Erick Granados. We strongly recommend this company."

"Fred the owner and his team are true professionals. I had some repairs needed - not major work but several projects in getting the home ready for listing. Fred and team did a great job in a thoroughly professional manner. I would hire them again!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Mitat and his 2 sons, Val & Alban, and his other workers, have been working on projects for us for a year now; major construction jobs suck as: building a dam on one side of our lake, rebuilding a bridge where a tree uprooted and destroyed a culvert, installing new railings and stairs on our decks, repairing the chimney, sealing cracks that developed on walls and ceilings over 20 years (something a previous company did, but not well), cleaning and installing polymeric sand on our stone pavement driveway, and rebuilding our old stone front steps. They have been extremely professional, honest, helpful and reasonable on their prices. We personally would not use anyone else and we appreciate all their help."

"They replaced a drop-down attic stair. The work was done well and cleanly. Some slight damage to a wall was repaired the next day even though it meant the job foreman waiting in his truck in my driveway for a couple hours while the spackle dried."

"Ricardo called the next day and he met with me as agreed. His bid was the most fair for a Great room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 11 stairs, foyer and entertainment room. He also agreed to do the job as requested over a two week period. He helped us move heavy furniture which not many would do. He and his crew were very nice. The floors came out Great! Thanks"

"I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome of this project and with hiring Ateba for the job. Right from the outset, I had a great feeling that I had selected the right person for the project. I left a message for Ateba and he responded in less than a day. In our initial discussion, I shared with Ateba the kind of playset I wanted to create and that I needed him primarily to cut the wood and drill the holes I would need. From just that conversation, I could tell he was an expert at his craft. I had every intention of assemblying the playset myself but I soon learned that I would need the assistance of someone like Ateba if the project was going to be a success. Turns out he not only did the necessary cuts to the wood with expert precision (some more complex than others) and drilled the holes (both through holes and countersink holes), but he also helped me assemble the playet and level it for safety. About the only thing he did not do was stain the wood - I did that myself before he came to start the project. I was highly impressed with the professional manner in which he approached his craft (carpentry) and the knowledge that he brought to the table. Ateba was always very punctual and showed a bias for going above and beyond in every way. He wasn't willing to settle for "just ok" and so we made the adjustments to ensure that the playset would be one that my grandchildren and great grandchildren will one day play on. I could not have done something like this on my own despite believing I would at the outset. Ateba is the real deal. Having worked closely with him for a number of days, I can tell you that he has a great attitude and is determined to deliver on your goals. He's also a very fair and genuine person that isn't out to scam you. His personality is such that you'll want to go grab a beer with him. If you have any carpentry needs, I can assure you that you'll get more than your money is worth with Ribba Wood Working."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Lake Hiawatha, NJ

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.
