"The work done was very good. We went back and forth over whether to install a vinyl or wood railing, finally settling on wood. I asked them to match what was existing on my porch. The handrail matched well, but the balusters were made from a lower grade wood with visible knots and defects, where the existing was clear pine. The handiwork on the railing was excellent. It is too bad they didn't spend a few more dollars on materials. The painting was good, although they failed to fill in dings and nail holes on my existing porch. Again, how much time does that take to go from a good job to an excellent job? After I wrote the above, someone came out from JTH to apply putty to the defects in the balusters and fill in the holes on the existing porch, then he re-painted. He was most kind about making it right. I pointed out to him that the painters painted around things on the porch that could have been easily removed, meaning some paint got on the door knocker and on the natural brick face of the house. There was also some spillage that I noticed after the job was done. We would not use them again for a painting job; we might consider for carpentry."

"Thomas and Antonio were very accommodating and efficient with the work they performed on our house. They repainted our front porch, pressure washed the siding and deck, repaired loose panels around the deck, and repaired/painted the railing to the basement. The quality of the work was high and they were able to answer all of our questions along the way. Would definitely hire again."

"Rotted roof and railing on front portico. Great quote for repair (yeah), however, tear down uncovered extensive water damage which doubled the price (boo), it did not slow down the progress. Lightning fast started next day, complete project took less than 2 days. Excellent work, professional team. Would highly recommend to others."

"Mr. Mendez and his crew did an excellent job with our skylights installation and painting our shutters and also painting our kitchen and family room. He is very responsive and completed the work very efficiently. Will definitely be calling him again for more painting projects. Highly recommend him. UPDATED AS OF 02/27/2022: Mr. Mendez also replaced our stair railing. He built everything from scratch. He also replaced some light fixtures. He does so much more besides painting. We plan on calling him when we renovate our lower family room."

"Advance Construction Concepts performed the restoration/remodeling of my home (drywall, painting, hardwood flooring, recess lighting, kitchen cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and open floor concept - removed dividing wall) after my home was damaged due to a pipe break/water damage that affected the upper and lower level of my home. Al was very professional, responsive, and patient during the repair of my home. He explained the scope of the work, provided a timeframe, estimate, and walked me through every step of the process (regular updates, project status, pictures, etc.). He made me feel comfortable and at ease during a time of stress and worry from being displaced from my home. The work performed exceeded my expectations and was completed on time as promised. I have a brand new home. His work is exemplary! I highly recommend Advanced Construction Concepts and I would hire this company again."

"Marks-Woods (MW) was a pleasure to work with from the planning phase through the completion of the project. Their pricing was fair and MW did an excellent job staying on schedule and within the budget. In fact, our project was completed a month earlier than what was originally scheduled. Throughout the project, our project manager and other members of the MW team were receptive to our critiques and change order requests. All questions and concerns were addressed immediately and to our satisfaction. I would recommend MW to anyone that is considering a home renovation. We plan on using them in the future."

"He's awesome.  He's really good attention to details.  When we asked him a question like if I want something done and he said he won't do it; he explains it to you why.  He's just going to do what I ask him to do because he's going to make more money.  He's only going to do it when it's safe and if it makes sense.  They're all very courteous, very clean and there are no bad things on the job or anything like that.  They're very professional.  He's a little bit higher than anybody else but gives more attention than anybody else.  You're paying for what you get. "

"Ronnie came out the next day after we contacted him and fixed the pipe. He made other repairs to ensure that nothing leaked on the roof. He found some things that the furnace contractor had not done well and he fixed those while he was on the roof. Ronnie was very knowledgeable, professional and responded quickly to our need.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Newington, VA

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.
