"Les Dunne is the increasingly rare "old school" professional. What that means in this age of diminished expectations is that he shows up when he says he will and does exactly what was agreed upon, down to the smallest detail. You will think that your project is the most important one he has ever worked on. If you just want a carpenter, you can find one easily enough. However, if you are seeking a master craftsman who transforms wood into a thing of beauty, Les should be your choice!"

"Garrett did an excellent job! He mounted 3 large screen tvs, installed a medicine cabinet, and put down a 9x12 rug which required some heavy lifting of a sectional couch. I was sure he would need another person to help him but he had no trouble with the heavy lifting and did the job all by himself. I didn’t have the right type of screws for one TV bracket and he volunteered to go to the hardware store to purchase them and complete the job. It’s so nice to find someone that’s willing to take the extra step. He was efficient, on time and very courteous. I would highly recommend Garrett for any handyman services!"

"Very talented Master Cabinet Maker and Wood Worker. He was more knowledgeable and experienced than all the other cabinet refinishers I interviewed. He s building two additional cabinets for me from scratch to complement my kitchen and bath. He s still working on them, so I ll post again once he s completed the project."

"I hired Jesse and the crew to add on stairs to an existing deck and replace the railings. When they showed up on day 1, they inquired about my half-built fence. It was started by a different company in the fall but they took my money and never returned to finish it. Jesse said he wanted to help. They dismantled the poorly built fence and were able to reuse every bit of lumber on a new, beautiful, quality built privacy fence. It turned a one week job into a three week job but I'm forever grateful they were able to help me out and save me a ton of money by reusing everything. The stairs and railings that I originally hired them to do look wonderful and the quality is superb. They guys were on time every morning and worked in sub-freezing temperatures, rain, and snow without complaint. Everyone was very professional and polite. They cleaned up the worksite nicely including pressure washing the new stairs. I will absolutely hire them again in the future for my outdoor projects."

"Eldridge and his crew did a great job for us, completely repainting our house and a very large deck. Eldridge is not only an artist, he is a skilled carpenter and was able to diagnose and fix a leak on a chimney, as well as replace all wood and trim so that it looked as good as new. He was very patient in allowing us to take our time to select just the right colors, and he even custom mixed a wonderful slate gray ("Eldridge Gray") that now covers the deck. There were some rain delays, but Eldridge was there every time that it was possible to work on the house. He was always on site supervising his workers. We are very happy with Eldridge as both a painter and a carpenter, and would hire him without hesitation in the future! Thanks, Eldridge for the wonderful result on our home!"

"He is willing to take on any project and then some. My honest feeling is that his enthusiasm somewhat outpaces his expertise and experience. He is a diligent worker and stays with the project. His painting went well though speed seems to trump care and preparation (He painted over some unsanded spackle repairs). My main problem was that instead of the two painters that were advertised, it was him and what I believe was his girlfriend who was inexperienced and sometimes just watched him paint. It should have been advertised as one painter and a helper. The price though was very reasonable and the finished product was adequate. He is likable and I believe honest and trustworthy. I would use him again especially if it was a project that just needed to be knocked out."

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Mars Hill, NC

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.
