"I called after hours on a weeknight after my kids accidentally broke a window, and Tracy had someone here the next morning at 8am to replace it. Everything went great, I was very grateful and will call again for future home repairs."

"Very professional throughout the entire process. Focused on quality and customer expectations. Final outcome is a product built with exceptional structural integrity and design. This was accomplished in five days. His crew did not come and go. They arrived every day at 8am and departed at 5pm..sometimes later. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality product built by trustworthy craftsmen. Thankyou."

"My built-ins are gorgeous. Tea and George have so much pride in their workmanship that they were visibly frustrated when trying to deal with the many imperfections of my house (uneven walls, floors, and corners), out of concern that it might diminish their perfectly constructed unit. But they patiently and creatively worked through all of the issues and the final product is gorgeous. And when I decided to change the design mid-construction to add built-in lights, they were able to accommodate me. They then accommodated me again by modifying the shelves to make them glass framed in wood so that the light would shine through. The result is stunning. I had a different carpenter handle some built-ins in a different part of my house, but then I chose Tea and George for this project. The difference in experiences was night and day. Art Woodstone's workmanship was much higher quality; the devil is in the details, such as how visible seams are. They were also much easier to work with and more responsive. It was evident that they would not have considered the job complete until not only I was completely satisfied, but until they were completely satisfied with every detail."

"I had need for a relatively quick turnaround for upgrading of a worn out kitchen.  Called Competitive Painters and Robert Coulter came to discuss options.  I should mention that I had two other companies come to provide estimates.  The owner of one of them, a highly rated Angies List company, spent most of her time telling me that I should talk to a real estate agent about how my kitchen should look.  She had no helpful ideas or suggestions.  In contrast, Mr. Coulter explained several options - including services that his company could not provide.  He pointed me to a reasonably-priced granite counter top provider and Competitive Painters prepared and painted all of the kitchen cabinets.  They worked within my limited time period and coordinated their work with the countertop company.  The work they did was neat and professional.  I was very pleased with the results.

"Wilson did an outstanding work with my 6” tall Wood Grandfather Clock. He restored the cracks on the surface and refinished the wood with true artistic precision. Worth every penny. I highly recommend his work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Waterford, VA

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.
