"Alan is a nice guy and a hard worker. However, job is incomplete and he has ghosted me. 1. Did not finish lattice strips on screen job. 2. Used carpet remnant used for non skid material on ramp. 3. Repair leaks from work done on roof. Photos attached. We made arrangements for him to finish up and he has ghosted me. So disappointing because he's a nice guy."

"I didnâ t know the best way to describe all the work that Mr. Davison has done for me. He has came in and replaced a front door, installed new windows, and sheetrocked for me. Heâ s come in time of me panicking to get the house in order. Heâ s picked up supply orders Iâ ve made last minute (I procrastinated ordering a front door). Heâ s always consistent with showing up. He works proficiently and has updated me with progress photos when I havenâ t been home to see the work being done. I feel like his work and his cost is honest. He charges for the love of the job and not to pull one over on you. He has been trustworthy and respectful to my wishes and visions of my home remodel."

"We called a lot of contractors for this job and many never returned our calls. Those who did were difficult to get a hold of thereafter. The first thing that impressed us about Building Unlimited was their punctuality. They called us back immediately and always answered their phones. Once, Donny went back to the office after he had already left for the day to re-run some numbers for the project for us. Their availability and willingness to meet our needs were the greatest determining factors in our decision to hire them for the project.

Their estimate was the highest we received for the project, but it was completely worth it. We realized later that many other contractors had not planned to do things as thoroughly and would have used shortcuts in order to charge a lower price. If we had to do it over again, we wouldn't change a thing---except perhaps not waste time calling other contractors in the first place!

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Phenix City, AL

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.
