"Mr Webb's work is very good and my wife and I are very pleased with his work, cost and work time.  We have used Complete Home Repair for several small repairs this year and have always been very pleased.  He shows up when he says he will and gets the job done.  So when we planned this latest project, we did not hesitate to call them and in fact did not even think about any one else.
We have in mind some other projects around here and will certainly call them first.  We found Complete Home Repair on Angie's list and have even found others for HVAC etc.

"B&H Handyman did an outstanding job on our new deck. Talked to them about ideas, and decided to go with it. For $5,200 the way materials are priced right now, they knocked it out of the park! Will definitely be using this company again in the future."

"Him and his helper were beyond polite and even somewhat entertaining. Everything has just been done but from what I can tell he has done a very good job and I will certainly come back to edit in 6 months or so to update and probably use him again for my kitchen and get rid of this horrible tile."

"Meadow Exteriors did a bang up job on both counts. My gutters and downspouts were packed with roofing dust. He had to take my downspouts apart and dig the gunk out. I mentioned how badly my basement flooded so he took a look and suggested waterproofing the walls. The price was reasonable, and he flat knocked it out in a hurry. I have not had a leak since, and my area has had a lot of rain to prove it worked.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Piedmont, 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.
