"In a single word, the work performed by A&K Power Washing was “SUPERIOR.”  Owner, Anthony, quickly provided an estimate to power wash/seal driveway, porch and walkways; clean vinyl siding, soffits, fascia and dormers; apply chemical application to roof shingles to prevent staining/mold, install gutter guards and lastly, clean indoor chandeliers.  Within a few days, we were quickly scheduled and A&K transformed the outside our 20 year-old home into “like-new condition”.  A&K was professional, friendly, honest, took pride in the job they were performing and had superior work ethic.  With A&K Power Washing, and most especially owner, Anthony, we received outstanding service.  The entire experience was a pleasure. Furthermore, we have requested another estimate from Anthony to paint shutters, repair and refinish wood entryway door and lay cement, as we know A&K will do a great job.  Many thanks to A&K Power Washing, LLC.

"Initiall call returned in one day  and service was completed as promised.  crew of carpenters was excellent and fun to have working... certainly saved us  from a lot of labor that we were not quite willing to do ourselves.

UPDATE-6/6/15:

We used this company in the past for a roofing job that has since gone wrong, without appropriate follow-up or resolution from Bazell Maintenance & Remodeling. The door portion of the job in this review was originally very good, but as of now, you can hardly get the door open without yanking the knob off. I have yet to receive any resolution on this issue, either."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Portsmouth, OH

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.
