"When Gaby Sent me his work proposal by text message I found myself wondering whether he was reliable or legitimate. However, I hired him to replace my stairway railing because his reviews were so good. I'm very glad I did. This guy is a real pro. It is fascinating to watch him work. He is very quick but also very precise. Obviously knows what he is doing. His work was excellent. The price was certainly fair. I also added on for or five small jobs inside the house such as repairing doors, etc., and he added these onto the job without any hassle. It was a pleasure working with him. I certainly would hire him again and consider him a great resource for my future carpentry needs."

"Ari is the absolute BEST! I needed various light fixtures replaced/installed throughout the house. I had previously hired an electrician last year to do a few things, but he left holes in the wall, damaged the ceiling, and I was not satisfied with his work overall. Then Ari came to my rescue and I learned how good a contractor can be if you find the right one! He switched 2 ceiling fans to different rooms (and repaired the ceilings the previous guy damaged), fixed the hole in the wall, installed new switches, including dimmers, and installed 2 new ceiling lights. It seemed like every switch he opened had 15 wires coming out of the wall so it was not easy, but he did a great job. If he can fix the wiring in my crazy house, he can do anything. I highly recommend Ari for any projects around the house - big or small. He is respectful, extremely knowledgeable, hardworking, and overall a great guy!"

"Chris Walsh and his crew were hired to upgrade and enhance our failing wooden deck and railings. They did a masterful job with great attention to detail and impressive problem solving ability. One particular aspect of dealing with Boston Realty Development was how professional Chris is at communicating with from setting up the initial visit, the proposal itself, adjusting to my ever-changing preferences. Chris is a most knowledgeable pro who I would heartily recommend for any job in his area! You will not be sorry."

"Colonial Restorations was superb.   Our family very much enjoyed working with Brad Green and Tom Green.  

At the outset, they made thorough assessments of our family's barn, identifying several problem areas and offering multiple proposals for how best to address each (including strategies and estimates).  They walked through the different proposals with us, addressing all questions and discussing different options.  This was extremely constructive and important to the process. 

They demonstrated very clear understanding of post-and-beam wood construction.  They displayed great expertise in working with wood (white oak, red oak, hemlock) and with the tools, jacks and cribbing needed for this work.  They worked carefully, always putting in place the necessary jacks and cribbing in advance of each phase of this project.

They were clear about their schedule and were very responsible about communicating with us.  If there were a day that they would not be on site, they let us know ahead of time.  With the exception of a snow storm and an illness, they were on site five days a week from the first week in January till the second week in February, 2016.  

By the completion of this project, Colonial Restorations had made significant and important structural repairs to our barn.  This work was done with care, craft, accuracy, and to code.  (All elements of this project were examined and passed by the building inspector.)  Most important, these repairs respected and worked with the existing structure and materials of the barn.

We could not be happier with these repairs or with the work done by Colonial Restorations.  It was a pleasure working with Brad and Tom."

"Contacted George based on Angies list reviews. Came out even earlier than had been scheduled after calling to be sure that would work.  Did  great job, cleaned up, even gave us an "upgrade" over the quoted model at no charge.  Other company we had called charged us $160 for coming out and telling us nothing could be done to repair what we had, and when we offered to hire them to replace the opener, said they would only give us $40 credit for the previous trip.  We paid more than that for George and happily so.  His price was still at or below others, and no way the service could have been better.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Whitman, MA

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.
