"They do great work for a fair price. Theyve replaced flooring, installed a completely new kitchen, done plumbing, insulation, installed two new showers, installed a new double door, built two new porches (one screened), poured sidewalks, built a carport into our garage, painted our roofs and garage, and other miscellaneous maintenance. We have been using them for about four years and will continue to hire them for all of our remodeling/maintenance work in the future."

"Got him to work on relocating on inverter box in our Campervan. He responded to my request so quickly and came in next 2 days. He solved it and charged us half on original offer because it was short work than he expected. He helped on extra things we need relating to storm door and small fix on gutter. Great communication! Our son enjoyed talking with him. We ll call him again. Many thanks!"

"It was okay. I won't consider it to be spectacular, but it was competent. The repair work was done in a way that was okay but it wasn't quite polished, and there was a little bit of additional work that we wanted him to do but he never got to it."

"The experience was more than perfect. We had called several local companies and none of them would do the work that we needed for under 11,000 dollars. I explained the issue that we were having to a friend of mine
and he mentioned that he recently had some work done by a company out of Kentucky so I checked them out.  I went to A-1 Roofing's web-site and filled out the "Free Estimate" form.  The very next day I got a call from the owner himself. He spent over two hours talking on the phone with us an exchanging emails with pictures of the damage. Even after the trip fee, Bill quoted us a price several thousand dollars less than the competition. I have to admit, at first I was a little skeptical because of
the distance involved but after speaking with the owner on the phone I was very confident and happy with his proposal so we scheduled the job for two weeks out. Bill said he was due for a vacation anyway, so coming out to Florida to do a job for us wouldn't be a problem.
On the day the jobwas to begin, he and his crew showed up on time as if their office was right down the street! They hadn't even started the job yet and I was already blown away! He explained that even though we sent a lot of pictures to him that it
would be difficult to nail down an exact price until he had a chance to physically inspect the damage. This was understandable but after a brief investigation he came to the determination that the original quote would be valid. Work began the next day. He and his men worked at an impressive pace. There was always something being done. Any time we went to check on them they were all hard at work. Bill took the time to explain what he was doing and why he was doing it even when we didn?t
ask. When we DID ask him questions he always had an answer and was very detailed in his explanation. This guy is a true expert in his field!
I'm sure they took breaks at some point but I didn't see any! 6 days into the job they had the original roof completely removed. By the end of the estimated two week period the new roof had been constructed and a day before it was supposed to be done they were putting in the finishing nails. Even though the job was finished and we were totally satisfied he and his crew used the last day to give us a tour of the work that they did and to clean up any remaining mess that was caused by
the construction. My house looks great now and there are no more leaks! We are extremely happy with the end result and will definitely use Bill's company in the future and recommend them to all of our friends.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Waco, KY

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.
