"Stephen was awesome to work with and his work is outstanding. We are SO happy with our new railings, they make the entire house look brand new. If you need work done in the Grand Haven/Holland area, don't hesitate to go with Northern Lights Construction. I've worked with a lot of contractors and Stephen is top notch. Highly recommend."

"They replaced the voltage regulator, ran some tests and felt the problem was more serious than the voltage regulator. The technician explained to us in order to determine the actual problem it could involve additional labor which could add up quickly and since the generator was 10 years old we might want to consider whether or not we wanted to invest money into more repairs or consider replacing the generator. We decided to get a quote from Vander Hyde for a new generator. While waiting for the quote for a new generator from Vander Hyde we decided to get a second opinion. We called Michigan Critical Power (MCP) and they came out to have a look. MCP wanted to start the diagnosis from scratch by checking the voltage regulator. Vander Hyde did not re-install the original voltage regulator. I contacted Vander Hyde and explained I was getting a second opinion and needed the original voltage regulator. They said I could come and get it if I wanted it. After the original voltage regulator was installed by MCP they determined the regulator was in fact bad. MCP installed a new voltage regulator, ran a few checks, made a couple adjustments and determined the generator was good to go. I have since ran the generator for two partial weekends to ensure satisfactory operation with no problems. It appears the second opinion saved me a lot of money.

"Rob is a consummate professional. He assisted us in discovering and dealing with damage from a leak in our basement wall. Rob made suggestions for the repair which was completed by our waterproofing company. He replaced the dry wall after cutting a one foot high section out of the perimeter of the room for the waterproofing work. Weeks later after the waterproofing was finished, he replaced the dry wall. We painted the walls and he came back to replace the baseboard trim. Rob always kept his appointments for work at our house. If he could not come at the appointed time, he called and set up another time. The work stretched over several months. We were delighted with the results. He did a wonderful job and we would not hesitate to call on him again."

"work was done ok on time etc. just found spots later that were missed, and windows were not clean due to overspray and lack of clean up.  I will take blame for not calling and complaining sooner, but just upset feeling it should have been done right the first time.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Shelbyville, MI

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.
