"We played email tag for a few days but it was easy to schedule (within a week of my calling). He was able to meet my time parameters easily two hours on two days.  Marty arrived on time and we went over all of the possible jobs I wanted completed and prioritized them. We agreed to do the projects out of order so that he could pick up parts that evening and complete the remaining jobs the following day. Marty was very thorough and efficient diagnosing the electrical problem. He didn't  use up all of the time trying to figure it out. He found an unsafe electrical mess. He showed and explained to me what the issue was and the most efficient and safe option to correct the issue (rewire, cut power to the existing mess). He mounted 1 tv but had to get anchors for the second tv (they weren't included in the box). Next he diagnosed a faulty shop light, determined that it wasn't the bulb or electrical but the fixture itself.  He gave me an estimate on the new fixture and agreed to pick up another fixture in addition to the wall anchors. He came back the next day and completed the remaining jobs without a problem and I settled the tab on parts which was exactly what was estimated.

"These guys are not only pros—they are true gutter artisans. After a decidedly frustrating experience with previous roofers, who were at best sloppy but in any case showed no pride in work, working with Ryan Hankey and Always Perfect Contracting has been a breath of fresh air. The work was a challenging replacement of a decayed and rotting box gutter on a circa 1850s historic home on a steep hillside with 36 stairs. There was no way to save the box gutter. Ryan and his team of Jeff and Dino worked long days in high heat and humidity to get the job done in two days. Not only did they replace the gutter, they remediated some of the sloppiness perpetrated by previous roofers at no extra cost. I got three bids on this project, and although Always Perfect Contracting was not the cheapest, the level of craftsmanship more than warranted the price differential. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough—7 stars (out of 5)."

"These guys were the best! Extremely professional and couldn’t be more friendly and easy to work with. They understand exactly what you are looking for and need, do excellent work, and get it done quicker than you would expect. The fence they installed is better than I imagined and I love going out in the yard every day with the dogs and seeing them run and play without worry. I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat for any other project and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to get a fence. A++ work and company"

"Joe was very professional and communicating was seamless. He was very prompt and courtesy. Left area clean when done with work. Joe would be someone I would refer him to all of family and friends. I sell EVs for Chevy and will send him business if any of my customers need any electrical work. Thanks again Joe."

Galen and his crew arrived on time.  One worked on replacing dry wall and plastered the wall while the others cut out the tree branches and patched the roof.  They also replaced a cracked drain pipe and repaired the back porch roof.  They were all very courteous and professional. I was very pleased with their  excellent work and the cost of the work.

"Home Crafters completed a big project at my house in March 2012. We had a 10 foot section of a load bearing wall removed between the living room and dining room. The price quoted was very fair and competitive with the other bids I had received ($2800 for everything). They also agreed to center the opening along the wall, rather than starting at the one wall and opening up a 10 foot section that would be skewed toward one side (something that other contractors said was the only possible solution). Once the team had started, they realized that the return vents were not in the usual place, and they would need to expand the construction project to re-run the vent work. This was an additional cost to us, but Home Crafters agreed to complete that project at cost.  
I could not be happier with their work. The team was very professional and accommodating, the wall looks perfect, and I don?t have anything negative to say about Jim or his team. Even though we ran into delays, everything was completed very professionally and with great attention to detail. They even moved two outlets from the now open section of the wall to the remaining segments. I would highly recommend this group for any home construction projects. We plan to remodel our master bathroom in another year or two, and Home Crafters will definitely be our first call."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
