"Cajun Alaskan is a great partner to our family as we care for a property in Kenai. Their team has a really diverse skill set so they are able to handle just about any project that comes their way. So grateful for their willingness to work with us across the miles as well! When we can’t be there, they send us before and after pictures so we feel very much part of all that is happening on site."

"It was really good and they did more than I asked them to do. They also arranged my furniture and did the vacuumed. They even made suggestions and I felt comfortable. They really took care of everything and did a great job."

"I would like to leave a fair review about my experience with Schwartz Builders. A neighbor recommended me to Craig back in July of last year to build a 50x50 shop. Craig seemed like a nice guy, and everyone said he was honest. We got started on construction right away. However, after receiving a significant deposit, he was hard to get ahold of and it was rare to see people working. I was lucky if I saw someone once a week. In all fairness there were material shortages, something beyond his control. It eventually did get built, about 2 months behind schedule and 3% over the firm fixed price we agreed on (I did make changes through the process so much of that was my doing). He asked for final payment before finishing all the required items, and I gave it to him as a sign of good faith. Unfortunately, he didnâ t really finish everything he was supposed to and I ended up paying this spring for dirt work (he said he would fix the ramp in the spring that didnâ t get done right in the fall, but didnâ t respond to messages) as well as other items. I also never received a single invoice. I guess he has a new bookkeeper now who claims that they donâ t have a single invoice for the past year of construction and claims heâ s not making any money, asking me to pay more to fix work he already charged me for. I will also note that they didnâ t clean up any construction debris at all and I spent days picking up trash bags full of nails and other stuff. Overall I was a bit disappointed in the process. As for the quality of his workmanship and the fact that he for the most part finished and within 2 months and 2%, Iâ ll give them that. But communication, finishing all the items they said they would, and overall management of the business; that area could use some significant improvement. Iâ m hoping they are able to turn the business around. Iâ ve heard Craig used to be the best, but heâ s been struggling for the past year or so for a variety of different reasons and many people I know have said that itâ s gone downhill."

"They have contacted me for a quote but I have not yet heard back from them. I am leaning toward contacting a friend to assist me in building it myself as I am concerned that I will not be getting the custom project that I need. If they surprize me and are able to come back with a quote for the project we need, I will most likely hire them for the job."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Soldotna, AK

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.
