"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

2 full time employees, we have part time help as needed for bigger jobs,We are a general contractor for construction work. Anything that you would contact a carpenter for is what we do. We have sub-contractors that we use for things out side our expertise. We have done this kind of work for 30 years altho we have only been in business since May / 2008. We give free estimates. We are more suited to smaller jobs but would have to look at each situation individually. Our motto is "No job's too small". We will work by bids or time and materials. Our jobs to date have included everything from cleaning 50 feet of gutter (1 hr.) to installing 4500 square feet of suspended ceiling track and panels (347 hrs.). We mainly operate out of Jefferson, Jennings, Switzerland, and Ripley Counties in southeastern Indiana but have worked in Carrollton, Ky. and as far away as Dayton, Oh. We do remodeling or new construction also residential or light commercial. Indiana does not require a license for general contracting but we do have a state business license, a city permit for cities requiring such, and liability insurance.

"Everything went as expected. They have been working on my house since November, and if it hadn’t been for these guys, I would have never thought to file an insurance claim for the damages that I had. They have been up front with me from the start about what I need to have done with my home. They also told me exactly how much stuff would cost. I liked the fact that I didn’t have to worry about some kind of hidden fees. They always told me that they were here for me and they wanted me to be happy. They treated my home like their home. They were also flexible and worked around my schedule. I will be contacting them for all future repairs."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Madison, IN

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.
