"Very pleasant and polite. Careful to not bring in dirt from outside,my yard is dirrt,on my floors. Installed 3 heavy curtain rods from home depot and disposed of the boxes and old rods for me. Also changed out a garbage disposal for me. They figured out the problem with the old one, bad seal at the sink, offered to just fix that to save me $ but I decided to have them change it anyway. Again all cleaned up after and offered to dispose of it for me but I needed the old one for warranty return. Excellent repair work and easy to work with. Kept in touch about arrival time. Would call again if and when I need something else done."

"Jim, Steve, Clint and the rest of their crew were great. They would quickly respond to changes or fixes required to get the job done right. Finished product is everything I expected. After working with some flaky contractors in the past, Crestone was a refreshing group to do business with.

"Jeff does great work from start to finish. He listened and understood the changes we wanted. He researched the most economical way to obtain the desired results without jeopardizing quality.
Jeff was able to build the indoor slide for the children's area by simply looking at a picture. He also made sure that every aspect of the slide was safe for the children to play on.
His finish work is excellent! We were especially pleased with the new offices and conference room. We couldn't ask for better sheetrock, mud, tape and texturing.
Jeff is a hard worker. He is punctual and has no problem staying late until the job is done.
My husband and I plan to use him for finish work on our cabin.

Repair of leaking basement wall. Had called Scott to see if he could give me an estimate of what it would cost and to see if we could set a time up this summer to repair the basement wall.  He came out and told us he and his crew could do it now.  I did not realize that this could be done in the winter time.  Started work on March 3, 2014  and completed on March 11, 2014.  Scott's crew came ready to work and worked hard every day. Would recommend them and would also have them return if any more work needs to be done. Very professional and friendly.

"They have contacted me for a quote but I have not yet heard back from them. I am leaning toward contacting a friend to assist me in building it myself as I am concerned that I will not be getting the custom project that I need. If they surprize me and are able to come back with a quote for the project we need, I will most likely hire them for the job."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Nikiski, AK

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.
