"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"Albert came to do our estimate last summer.  He was very knowledgeable and pleasant.  He was helpful in determining the best products for outdoor as well as the indoor projects that needed to be completed (deck, inside stairs, etc).  We decided to proceed a few weeks ago however Albert was not available (going out of town) which initially was concerning to my husband.  Albert assured me at his initial estimate that his crew was meticulous so I implored my husband to proceed with the project instead of delaying.  We are so happy that we did!  Elian came with the rest of the crew and worked tirelessly to smooth the walls, prime and paint.  They were able to repair a door which had been damaged from the elements making it look new and saving us lots of expense if it had to be replaced.  The weather would not cooperate and started raining from day one but the crew did their best in the elements without sacrificing the quality that Albert promised.  The project ended up going over the 2 days estimated (because of the weather) but we are very satisfied with the work that was done and plan on having Elian and the crew back to work on the outside deck and inside stairs this spring or summer!

"We cannot say enough good things about Blake and Mark (co-owners/partners at Asa Stanford) who we discovered on Angie's List. Blake came to our first meeting on time and prepared with print-outs (and his own notes) of the architectural design we had provided for a 400 sq ft den and office addition. It was clear he had put some thought into our project before he arrived. He spent about an hour reviewing the project with us, looking over our home, going into the attic, answering our questions, etc. He was able to provide an estimate for the project with our plans. Blake was very patient, detailed and thorough - and we knew before he left our driveway we wanted to hire him. Not only are Mark and Blake just really nice guys, they are really good at what they do. They worked seamlessly with our designer to review and finalize the building plans. Communication was excellent from beginning to end. Blake and Mark answered the phone almost every time we called (even if it was 4 PM on a Friday) and would answer texts and emails promptly. Blake constantly kept us informed of the schedule, which subs to expect, etc. Overall, we were happy with the work of the subs, and pleased with the oversight Mark and Blake had on their work. Mark himself is a very talented carpenter and nearly single handedly built the frame of the addition by himself - even our neighbors were pretty shocked watching him at work. (And for the record, as we learned from our conversations with Mark, he is equally as humble as he is skilled.) A few times, we asked about adding some things that weren't in our original contract, and Blake would give us his thoughts, research the cost and get back to us very quickly with an exact cost. There were some hiccups along the way (as there are with any project), but we never worried about them because we trusted Blake and Mark to take care of them, whatever they were. These guys really are the best. Overall, the project finished a few weeks early and came in right around the original cost estimation. We are so pleased with the finished result. It is even better than we anticipated, and we appreciate having full confidence in the materials and craftsmanship. We have already recommended Asa Stanford to neighbors and would hire them again in an instant."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Shelby, NC

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.
