"It went well, I hired him, he had to rebuild a lot and he worked non stop until the job was finished & saved me thousands of dollars, He cleaned up before he left & I was very happy, and Mark has done more work for me since & if he can't make it on time, he lets me know, I have more work Mark will be doing for me, as soon as weather permits. .People I trust to do what they say they will do are hard to find, and so glad I lucked out with finding a person that keeps his word and I can trust. Thank you Mark"

"Mr. Davis came when we agreed.
He did the work two days later.
His brother Matt met with me and explained everything.
They are very honest and straight guys.
I am planning on using them again in a couple of weeks.

"There were a couple of issues with scheduling, however that was an issue with the Angi scheduling. The repair team found the issue with the leaky fridge in about 5 min. The problem and fix were fully explained and approved before anything moved forward. They were efficient and professional. Great experience."

"Very well. Jeremy had been recommended to me by several friends. I called him and he and another gentleman came out the very next weekend and repaired the issue including all the additional problems cause by the moving wall. They did a great job in securing the wall and fixing all the related issues.

"They were easy to work with. Debbie was very particular but I like how exact she was about things. She had a good worker that took time to do job right. When an outside light was removed they repaired it so there was not a whole in the siding.. They were very accomodating."

"DGE Construction did the job I contracted for and I am quite satisfied with their work. However, the workers did not clean up after themselves. They left the old gates on the lawn and the screws on the ground. Dave left all the gook that came out of the gutters on the porch, in the grass, and in the bushes. I had to clean up after them myself. I did not appreciate that. I let Mr. Dave Enzenbacher know and he apologized and said I should have called him back before I cleaned it up. I've never had to do that in the past with Service Magic assignees. I will use him again because he did do good work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Poplar Grove, 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.
