"Charles was very polite and professional. He did a great job re-caulking my tub and windows as well as installing new shoe trim and wood threshold. He called on his way and let me know when he would arrive and he was spot on."

"Found Nick’s Home Remodeling through the Tile Shop in Naperville. We met with Nick and found him to be very easy to talk with and communicate what our ideas were. He offered some great additional thoughts based on his past experience remodeling bathrooms. His proposal for labor stated clearly what his responsibility would be and what ours would be. He offered estimate ranges for materials which was helpful to estimate the entire cost of the project. Of course material prices can vary greatly depending on your choices. Nick has relationships with various trades and suppliers which is very helpful. When his crew began the job, they were very conscientious and cleaned up after themselves each day. Nick kept us informed as to their schedule and when/who would be there each day. Nick, Gabriel, Jose and Mike did a fantastic job from start to finish. They all are professionals who obviously take pride in their work. Over the course of approximately 3 ½ weeks, and maybe 14 total work days, they transformed our 1980’s master bath into a beautiful spa bathroom. Nick provides receipts for any materials he purchases during the work, which he also estimates on his proposal. We had a few extras (like removing soffits) during the course of construction that hadn’t been planned for initially. He provides a summary of any additional charges for his crew doing the extra work. We felt he was fair in that pricing. You can expect to pay for those materials and extra work above the proposal amount in addition to the materials you purchase yourself. Of course, during that construction, we used our hall bath which quickly became the object of dreams for its renovation. As it turned out, we had materials left over from the master and were able to have Nick update that hall bath with not a lot of extra cost for materials. That update took only about a week as we weren’t moving anything around, just replacing fixtures and tile. Again, it turned out great! To summarize – Nick provides the labor to tear out the old and replace with the new. You pay for all materials and any extra work not noted on the proposal. His proposals appear to be fairly standard for typical work on similar projects he has done with any variations accounted for either in the proposal if known at the time, or at the end of the project. We would highly recommend Nick’s Home Remodeling. *Cost noted in review is for labor and materials for both Master and Hall Bath. Photos show BEFORE & AFTER Jay & Karen M"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Plano, IL

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.
