"The handyman, Paul, was punctual, professional and did quality work. He replaced the small section of my wood soffit that had water damage with new wood, painted it and caulked. He cleaned up the area when he was done. Paul also re-secured several of my window shutters that had loose screws. He spray painted the screw caps to match the color of my shutters."

"My wife and I needed additional railings in our house given recent mobility issues and Martin Hardwood Flooring did an amazing job.  Guests frequently comment how beautiful the railings look and how well it matches previously existing railings.  Martin Hardwood Flooring was first to call to look at the job and first to bid.  The work was begun very soon after we accepted the bid and was completed in a single long day.  The effort, time and craftsmanship was impressive to witness.  In addition, the price was more than fair for the quality supplies and hours worked on our project.

We quickly asked Martin Hardwood Flooring to work on a second job, creating smoother transitions between hardwood flooring and tile flooring in our kitchen and bathrooms.  As before, the work was done in a very timely basis with great skill and yielded a beautiful result.  The effort and diligence of the workers was impressive.  The workers were very polite and careful not to make a mess.  

I will use Martin Hardwood Flooring for all future projects and want to recommend Martin Hardwood Flooring to everyone with a hardwood flooring house project.  The modifications to our home were very important to my wife and I and we feel so fortunate that the projects were completed with such care and skill.

"Mal and his team completely transformed the exterior of my house. It literally looks like a new house. I hired Mal to install new siding, gutters, and fascia on my house and garage and he completely exceeded my expectations. I receive compliments from neighbors regularly about how nice my house looks and I could not be happier with how everything turned out. Pricing was very competitive, his communication was fantastic and he stands behind his work. I highly recommend Professional Home Improvement to anyone considering exterior projects like siding and gutters. I could not be happier with the end results."

"Wonderful! We had five doors in which Darrell removed and dip stripped. We also had a crew come in and strip approximately 17 windows. It took them a little over a week but they stuck with the job and worked very hard. Much better price quote than other companies and excellent quality. Just finished an entire rehab of a house and of the 10 tradesmen we hired, they are one of the three we would happily invite back."

"They do great work! From puncutality to price, we will use no other company going forward. Since building a bedroom in our basement, we just had them back last week. We have/had a very small kitchen space in our typical 3 bedroom brick ranch in Chicago. We hired Pawel to remove the adjoining bedroom which we've converted into dining space. This included removal of two walls, reinforcement of two support beams, run electrical for canned lighting, install two other light fixtures, patch drywall and mend existing floors for a great flow. All was completed in a timely manner and of course, the finished product has exceeded our expectations.

"The started a day early after calling me to find out if it was ok. Darrel was on time each of the 3 days that it took to complete. He told me what he would be doing that day and keep me informed. The job ended up be a little more involved than anticipated through no fault if theirs. He told me what would be the best route to resolve and I agreed to extra charges ($125 for materials and labor which was very reasonable). When the work was completed the walls were primed for paint. Perfect results. The cost I am supplying includes the extra charges. I would definitely use this company again"

"We were so happy with McCann from start to finish. We needed to replace our front entry door. The whole process was smooth, communication was good, everything happened on the expected timeline, the quality of the materials was very high, and all of the staff (from the project manager to the installers) were highly professional and pleasant to work with. We also got some good design recommendations that led us to choose a blue door that we LOVE. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings repair projects in Zion, IL

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.
