"Great!! Two different handymen, two different occasions. Both men were professional and friendly. Replacing the interior door took some time, and it was worth it! Dean was meticulous (and went up and down the stairs so many times) to make sure the door fit properly in the frame and opened easily over the carpet (which the previous door never did). Separately our front stoop needed repair - pulling off the existing stone/brick that was deteriorating and replacing it with bluestone. James does beautiful work - he is a master in masonry. Coming out of lockdown and having both men show up with all the necessary PPE put me at ease - they were being very careful and following all the guidelines. I've already scheduled them for more work. Well worth the price!!"

"We were initially looking to paint our house and detached garage. Unfortunately, some things changed with our refi and we needed to revamp our plans; we could only do the garage (and get some pointing done on the chimney). We worked with Erick Granados (he was fantastic), and he was able to quickly provide a new estimate, which allowed us to move forward with the project. The painters were professional, they did great work, and at the end of the day they cleaned up the area around the garage. When they noticed a small issue with the garage roof, they devised a great solution that was cost effective. When the entire job was finished, they cleaned up the surrounding area, which made the whole presentation of their work look even better. Once the garage was complete, they moved on to the chimney. We own a 1936 Tudor, which has a very tall chimney. Some of the bricks began to chip away and the plaster around the chimney was falling off to the ground. The repairs look fantastic. Erick came by the house the next day and discussed the finished job with me. I appreciated his professionalism and followup to make sure we were happy. My wife and I are very pleased with the work done by Wilber's Painting and the service by Erick Granados. We strongly recommend this company."

"I needed a lot 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 all the steps and railings. I had my bathroom grouted, caulked, and repaired. I needed my kitchen to be refreshed and a new kitchen floor. In addition, the kitchen, dining room, lower and upstairs hallway, and living room were in need of repair and needed to be painted. I had my entire windows repaired and corked from the inside and the outside. Harvey and his men were very professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. They showed up every day on time and worked diligently through the day. Harvey offered good ideas and suggestions on my home improvements and repairs. I was thrilled by the outcome and the quality of their work. I would highly recommend them, and I plan to use them in the future."

Customers say: Quality work

"Mitat and his 2 sons, Val & Alban, and his other workers, have been working on projects for us for a year now; major construction jobs suck as: building a dam on one side of our lake, rebuilding a bridge where a tree uprooted and destroyed a culvert, installing new railings and stairs on our decks, repairing the chimney, sealing cracks that developed on walls and ceilings over 20 years (something a previous company did, but not well), cleaning and installing polymeric sand on our stone pavement driveway, and rebuilding our old stone front steps. They have been extremely professional, honest, helpful and reasonable on their prices. We personally would not use anyone else and we appreciate all their help."

"I most highly recommend Jonny Salazar Carpentry. He is very knowledeable, and made very quick calculations for matetrals & labor costs at the first visit to my home. Jonny dors all jobs himself, with very skilled helpers as needed. Having the business owner complete the job means communication is easy & the raftsmenship is highest quality. Jonny rebuilt my deck & I am so delighted with the construction & appearance."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Summit, 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.
