"They have done other jobs for us and they do real good work. Even their prices are very reasonable and they at times go above and beyond. I would highly recommend them and would definitely hire them again."

"I have nothing but good things to say about Jose and his team. He came by and looked at the job the same day I called. I informed him that I had a deal and he included the patio, stairs and gutters at an excellent price. They were professional, efficient, and completed everything in a timely fashion. Everything was so clean, I was very impressed. I will definitely be using him again."

"The company recommended replacing the skylights. We agreed. They finished the work promptly and expertly. One issue arose (nails poked through ceiling), but they handled it without excuse or complaint, realigned the skylight and repaired the holes."

A small job became large due to no fault of Timothy and his crew.  Timothy was in touch prior to the start of the work and every day during the project.  His team consisted of different people with areas of expertise.  The size of the crew was appropriate to work involved.  The deck installation had not originally been planned.  Even so, Timothy was able to get the personnel and equipment immediately and all of the work was done within the week as planned.

The team was professional and polite.  They cleaned up every day.  I live in a townhouse development and they were very respectful not only of my property, but of that belonging to my neighbors.


I will use Timothy again.

"As usual, it was a wonderful experience! Frank and the guys stayed in touch throughout the whole process. It was tricky because the work was done at a rental property. We had to get our tenants to move all the furniture from upstairs to downstairs or outside. We also had to keep them off the floors and stairs while the poly dried. Frank was wonderful, working his crews around our schedules to minimize disruption to our tenants. AMS crews helped replace the furniture, then all the downstairs stuff had to go in the garage while he put in carpet. I felt Frank did an excellent job in balancing our desire for quality work, but still understanding that this was a rental property, not our own home.
The floors look incredible. The stairs are a real treat. Rental properties take a beating and we were planning to recarpet the whole house. When Frank came out to measure, he discovered hardwood flooring under the carpet upstairs. Bingo!! We will not have to recarpet again!! The price was very reasonable and I am thrilled that he discoverd the hidden jem of hardwood!
Once again, we could not be more pleased. It was another perfect job by AMS!

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Whiteford, MD

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.
