"Tyler got the job done right, and went above and beyond. Deck flooring and railing replacement project. Quality of workmanship and materials was superior. Tyler listened to my ideas and proposed different solutions at different price points. He even painted the deck uprights, and went out of his way to replace a corner siding trim piece that was loose and in rough shape from a previous repair done by someone else. I would definitely hire Tyler again."

Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning of St Paul MN has been family owned and operated for over 16 years. We serve the Twin Cities Metro and Western Wisconsin areas, and we provide quality, reliable services at affordable rates.

"When we first purchased our home, it had this massive wood burning stove sticking out of the fireplace. The exterior of the chimney was mostly stucco, with brick exposed at the top 3 feet or so. For many reasons we wanted to remove the wood burning stove and just use the fireplace for good old fashion fires. I called Nick's Chimney to sweep out the current chimney. They showed up promptly and were polite. They also seemingly did a good job. When they left, they said that I should really have the chimney tuck pointed, and that they could also do that work. I went ahead and scheduled them to come back for the tuck pointing, which cost around $1500. They tuck pointed the brick work and also resurfaced the crown cap (flat top surface of the chimney). After paying for all this work, I was excited to burn our first fire in our new home. I lit it up, and smoke filled the home to the extent that I had to use a fire extinguisher to put it out. I called Nick's, and they came out a few days later to examine what had happened. They told me at that time that someone had bricked up the interior of the chimney (to accommodate that old wood burning stove) and it was essentially worthless as a normal fireplace without having those bricks removed, a service that they couldn't do. This is the information that I wanted BEFORE they charged me a dime for sweeping the chimney in the first place, and certainly before tuck pointing the old chimney. Fast forward 2 years: the crown cap had severely cracked and we were taking water in the chimney. I called Nick's yet again because that work was under warranty, and they did sent someone out to re-surface the crown cap. They also tried to bill me for that work, and only after pushing back did they admit that it was in fact covered by their original policy. 2 years later: the chimney at this point had developed some more cracks due to the water it had taken on, and started to slump a bit. I did a ton of research, and had many bids, and ended up paying Twin City Masonry $17,500 to have the old chimney torn down to the ground and replaced completely, using lime stone slaps at the shoulder and crown cap, and all new bricks throughout. Due to the interior of the chimney, I STILL can't burn a proper fire in that fireplace. We have an electric fireplace right now, and will likely someday switch that up to be gas. To what extend the masonry work that Nick's did damaged our chimney is impossible to say. It probably would need to have been replaced at some point. Furthermore, they probably did a perfectly fine job as chimney sweeps. What I think they had 0 business doing was any masonry work. If you talk with true masons, they will tell you that the industry has loads of people who don't know what they're doing offering up brickwork services, and Nick's is a great example of that. If you JUST want a chimney sweep, go ahead and use them, but be ready for a hard pass when they tell you that you need to have your chimney tuck pointed, resurfaced, etc. NOT worth it. Use a real mason, and press for references if you chimney starts to slant, sag or leak water."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Minneapolis, MN

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.
