"Gaby previously made custom built in desks for our home office. We then decided we wanted a separate matching cabinet. We were so happy with all the work he has done for us we called him to make the cabinet. Once again he used top of the line materials. The cherry wood and finish is a perfect match. We couldn’t be happier."

"Fabulous...timely and efficient. Debris and mess was cleaned daily and when the job was finished, everything including cleanup was perfection! Blending of the siding was excellent. They were then rehired to strip and replace siding and stip and roof the garage, which included replacing rotted sills and all that entails for an Excellent job, would highly recommend!"

"GREAT - they were exactly what I had imagined. The carpenter was very particular and detail oriented. I appreciate the way he worked with crooked lines to make the lockers appear uniform and straight. I would use them again in a heart beat! Thank you!"

"We hired Durable Remodeling to replace our older wood deck with a new Azek deck. Dean was wonderful to work with; very knowledgeable about what we needed, and very personable. I received quotes from 6 different companies. Durable was right in the middle pricewise. The guys who did the work were friendly and efficient and there workmanship was excellent. Would hire them again in a minute."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."

"You do not need to look any further.  This is your man, if you can get him.
Read on for details if you wish.
This guy is amazing!  Great work, on time, inexpensive. - A true craftsman.
We had a new garage door installed about six years ago, and sometimes it would begin to close, then reverse itself.  One more tap on the button would close it, but I had to sit and wait to make sure it closed properly before I left the house.
In the last few months it would bind and reverse itself more frequently, and last week it would take four or five tries to get it to close.
I re-subscribed to Angie's List to see if I could find a good service, and I reviewed several providers.
The smallest price for any service seemed to be about $150, but George Pike had many customers at $95.
And he had 100% A ratings.  I think one person had trouble reaching him, so they gave him a bad rating, even though he had never done work for them.  They really missed a gem here.
I used the Angie's List feature that sends a message through their service.  It was a little past 9 in the evening, so I did not expect a response until the next day.  But I got a response in about three minutes!  He said he would call the next day.
I got the call in mid-afternoon the next day, and we set  it up for two days later.
Today he called at about 12:15 PM, and said he was on the way.  I was out doing errands, but my wife was home.  I got home a half hour later, and he was already half done.  The previous installers had placed the track too tightly, and George had already identified the problem and moved one track  and reinstalled it in no time.  While he was there he saw they had attached the drive mechanism in a weak spot at the top of the door.  Screws were placed where there was only the aluminum shell of the door, when only a couple of inches further down there was solid material in the core of the door that would not flex and eventually break.  So he moved the attachment plate.  He also tightened the springs to better balance the door.
He had also discovered the electric eye was loose at the bottom of the door.  This prevents the door from closing if something is in the way. I had tried to secure that device a few months ago, but the old screw holes had some rot and it was tenuous.  George has discovered this and repaired that also.
He could not take care of me yesterday because someone in Ocala, FL had asked him to do a large commercial door up there yesterday.  Whoever that was bypassed Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa, and Sarasota - bringing a master craftsman three hours away to get the job done right.
We talked a bit.  Mr. Pike came from Rhode Island where he worked for decades.  He has the common sense, skill, and character to provide a kind of service that is almost never seen today.  Most trades people today would have made an adjustment to stop the binding - maybe moving the track.  They might have tightened the springs.  If they did not wiggle the electric eye they would have not seen or repaired that problem.  No one else would have bothered with the way the drive plate was attached, as it was working fine.  Then they would have charged a $150 minimum, or may have looked to provide a more expensive repair.
I am glad that I was out when he arrived, so I could see how conscientious and efficient he was.  He discovered and fixed four problems in less than one hour.  Most providers would have fixed the most obvious thing and found one more to fix, so as to impress us.  Then they would have charged us $150.
I was about to write, "I'm speechless."  But as you can see, that doesn't ever really happen.
Don't waste any more time looking for better service.  There is no cheaper service.
You can pay more for less, and you are very likely to do so if you do not use him.
In the end he charged me $93 and change.  I gladly paid him $100.
I was lucky to find someone as efficient, as honest, as conscientious, and as skilled.  He is of  a vanishing breed.
Get George Pike while you can.

"We've had a lot of renovation work done on our house over the last several years, and Superior Kitchens And Baths was the best company that we've worked with overall. Jane, Brandon, and their entire crew and subcontractors were all great to work with. They were very responsive, hard working, professional, stuck closely to their schedules, and did high quality work across the board. Additionally, Jane, Brandon, and Dustin are genuinely nice people that were great to get to know and interact with throughout the effort. From the start, Jane and Brandon came up with creative solutions to allow us to get everything we wanted in the renovation, and figured out potential pitfalls and workarounds before the work even started. They were great with helping us decide on overall designs and individual items throughout the work. They put together a thorough breakdown of costs for their proposal that they tracked throughout the effort, as well as a schedule that they stuck closely to. When unforeseen circumstances came up with folks getting sick and being unable to work, Brandon worked long days and weekends to keep caught up with their schedule. They seemed to treat the job like it was their own house. Overall, we'd highly recommend them, and would hire them again for any future work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Plympton, MA

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.
