"Tim, the owner was friendly and he helped us initially pick out the colors. He told us there were roughly ten jobs ahead of us on the listing, and we were ok with that. His crew was nice and helped make the experience good overall. The only side note being that there was some confusion on fascia color which we had picked out. Even so, the issue was corrected and the painting and stain on the posts looks great.

"Overall, it went very well. I was very happy that the man who did the estimate was the same man who came out and did the work. Mr. Dupre even came out to my house the Saturday before the job started and applied a sample to make sure the stain color was what I wanted.
I live north of Baton Rouge and that (along with traffic) caused Mr. Dupre to be a little late some of the scheduled work days.
I did not get a competitive quote because I found very few providers who do actual refinishing and the price seemed reasonable based on the amount of time needed to do the job properly. I don't know if "refacing" would have been cheaper, but I wanted to keep the wood grain pattern and I think "refacing" removes that natural look. Mr. Dupre did need to come back a few days after the job was done to touch up the polyurethane on some of the cabinets.
The cabinets are more glossy than I had anticipated, but I am not going to fault Mr. Dupre for this. They look excellent in my opinion.
I would definitely recommend Quality Coatings for painting and refinishing.

**Updated. I have been trying to get in touch with Mr. Dupre for two weeks now to change the finish from semi-gloss to matte. No response. Maybe he's very busy with other jobs."

"I've rarely had a project go so well. They always arrived on time, were careful to protect my home, cleaned up each day, and let me know any issues well in advance. They even had to work around other contractors at the end and were considerate and professional. The work was beautifully done and really changed the overall appearance of my home. I'm 100% satisfied and would definitely hire them again if needed."

"My home is more than 30 years old and we it flooded in 2016. My electrical box was in bad shape. Some of the pins were burnt, the breaker was fried and couldn't be replaced. Now I have an all new load center and breaker and pretty much an entire new electrical system for my home. The pro was very concerned about my problem and genuinely cared about fixing it for me. I have not been sleeping well because I was worried about the potential to have an electrical fire due to my faulty wiring and electrical system. The pro came out yesterday morning and stayed until 7:00 pm to fix my problem. I slept well last night knowing that I was safe from the potential to have a fire."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Saint Francisville, LA

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.
