"I needed alot of work and repairs done in my house. I called and met with Harvey about what I wanted to be done in my home, and two days later, the work was being conducted on my house. The significant items were that I needed new basement steps, and Harvey and his crew rebuilt new the steps and railings. I needed my kitchen refreshed and desperately needed a new kitchen floor. I had the kitchen, dining room, lower and upper hallways, and living room painted. I had my windows corked from the inside, and the outside and some of the windows were also repaired. Harvey and his men were very professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. They showed up every day and on time and worked extremely hard. Harvey offered ideas and suggestions on my home improvements and repair. I was thrilled by the outcome of their work. I would highly recommend them. I plan to use them in the future."

"Overall, they were good. Efficient and polite. The quality of their work is very good. The manner in which they work needs improvement. Clipping chain links and allowing them to fall on wood floors â ¦ placing old fixtures on wood floors. However, the two gentlemen on the job were extremely knowledgeable, and I would most certainly hire them again."

"Two years ago we used this company to clean out the inside of the gutters and powerwash the house and were very pleased with the service provided so we called them again. Unfortunatly we did not have the same experience. I reached out to Alan via email to which he responded promptly. We went back and forth a few times to clarify pricing and details of work being done always with a prompt response. We decide to have the gutters hand washed for an additional $195.00  ($175.50 with 10% senior discount) as well as cleaning out the inside of them and powerwashing the house. When Alan's worker comes to do the work he determines that hand washing the gutters would damage them and therefore we do not have them hand washed. Once the job is finished the worker contacts Alan to adjust the bill since the gutters were not hand washed. Alan first adjusts the bill by $131.50 and then by $156.50 when we question it instead of $175.50 we were charged. We call Alan several times while the worker is waiting and Alan does not answer the phone. Since we do not want to keep the worker waiting we pay him the requested amount knowing it is incorrect. Alan has not returned any of our phone calls or emails since July 28 and has cashed my check and not returned the $19.00 that was overcharged. Needless to say we will not be using Alan Drake in the future.  <br /> <br /> A $19.00 refund was received on 8/13/15. I checked back through all incoming email, deleted email and spam  as well as incoming phone calls and messages and did not find the email Alan was referring to nor any other responses to my inquiries. As I was checking my email and phone messages several times a day waiting to hear from him I most definitely would have responded. I realize he was dealing with a personal matter at the time and did allow 2 weeks before posting my review. I am pleased that the matter has been resolved and I have adjusted 3 ratings to reflect the situation has been addressed. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Went to store front on saturday to look at sample railings. Staff was very helpful. Gave me some catalogues to take home and an appointment for Tuesday for an estimate. On Tuesday Jeff called and said he was running ahead of schedule and asked if he could come an hour earlier. Came and showed us some examples and discussed how certain railings would look and what our steps could "handle". Made our selection and got an install date for 2 weeks later. At 9am on 11/12 Alex and his associate showed up and got to work. The two men were professional and meticulous about what they were doing. It seeemed as thought they were installing the railings on their own home. When they were done they cleaned the area so it looked like the railings were always there. The finished work is perfect and we are thrilled that we chose Fence Depot. <br />"

"Their price was treasonable compared to other bids. They did a great job and were able to complete it in 2 days because they built the railings in their shop. Their team was professional and the owner very responsive."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in South-brunswick, NJ

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.
