Ron was very knowledgeable and professional. Knew what I needed. It turned out beautifully and goes well with my house. I am very pleased."

"The porch and deck are beautiful and functioning exactly how they should. At our initial meeting, Keith was so obviously knowledgeable and gave reassuring answers to all questions and concerns. He made specific recommendations for the products used (different for porch and deck) and I think they're perfect. His attention to detail regarding structure--and all aspects--continually impressed me and gave me a lot of confidence in both his knowledge and skills. Every day I admire Keith's work and feel so much safer because of his redesign of the stairs and transition to deck."

I was having the interior of my house completely redone and suddenly the painter (different company) didn't want to bother with the ornate balusters on the main staircase.  He said the handcarved cutouts made the job too complicated and cost prohibitive and I should just leave them painted the color they were.

A few months earlier, I had purchased an eight hour "Big Deal" package from Michael's Work through Angie's List, so I gave them a call.  Michael came right over to check out the job and brought his worker, Joe.  I asked Joe if he thought he could get very many of the staircase spindles finished in eight hours and he said, "No problem.  What do you want me to do when I finish the stairs?"  Joe proceeded to do an excellent job on the spindles and then tackled the French doors, which contained multiple 100-year old panes of leaded glass. (Another project my painter had refused.)  Joe's painting was perfect and quick; both Joe and Michael were professional, courteous and very pleasant to deal with.  The prep work and cleanup were both A+.  Bottom line, I wish I had hired Michael's Work to paint my whole house, top to bottom.  Next time I will!



(NOTE TO EDITOR:  I submitted this review through a link that came to my email, but since I do not see it registered in "My Reviews," I am duplicating it.  I want to make sure Michael's Work receives full credit for their excellent efforts.)


NOTE TO EDITOR:  THIS BELONGS IN THE CATEGORY OF PAINTING, NOT GUTTER CLEANING!!!!  I CAN'T FIND THE PLACE TO CHANGE THE CATEGORY!!!!!

"All good.  Added window locks on upper floors (sash windows, young kids) and repaired/replaced some original locks in doors to make them work properly.
We've used them for all kinds of things over the last 3 years - pretty much do whatever we've needed done.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Sainte Genevieve, MO

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.
