Get matched with top wood stairs and railings repairers in Ashby, MA

"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."

"Kenny is amazing and comes with my highest recommendation! If I could give 10 stars I would. He is done a couple of large projects for us. 2 years ago he did a 12x32 Deck with 12x22 screen house. This thing is a monster and very sturdy, we have absolutely loved it! He is very meticulous and has a fine attention to detail and does things correctly. He is very approachable and open to suggestions and changes. A few months ago we decided that we were going to finish our attic - it was easy selecting a contractor, because of Kennys previous work. This was a complete attic remodel. (subfloor, framing, drywall, finish work) Kenny helped design the layout, he came up with ideas, including the use of an existing closet for the stairway which turned out beautiful. He finished on time, on budget and the finished product is amazing! He opened up a big wall in our ceiling and created a loft/balcony and meticulously cut and placed 80 spindles in the rails of the stairs and loft! It looks awesome and we are very grateful. Kenny does the little extra things to ensure a smooth job. He cleans up after himself daily. His prices are very reasonable too. He is also done a few small jobs for us too and treats those with the same care as a large project. I hope he never retires because we have got plenty of projects for years to come! Thanks, Kenny!"

"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."

"You do not need to look any further.  This is your man, if you can get him.
Read on for details if you wish.
This guy is amazing!  Great work, on time, inexpensive. - A true craftsman.
We had a new garage door installed about six years ago, and sometimes it would begin to close, then reverse itself.  One more tap on the button would close it, but I had to sit and wait to make sure it closed properly before I left the house.
In the last few months it would bind and reverse itself more frequently, and last week it would take four or five tries to get it to close.
I re-subscribed to Angie's List to see if I could find a good service, and I reviewed several providers.
The smallest price for any service seemed to be about $150, but George Pike had many customers at $95.
And he had 100% A ratings.  I think one person had trouble reaching him, so they gave him a bad rating, even though he had never done work for them.  They really missed a gem here.
I used the Angie's List feature that sends a message through their service.  It was a little past 9 in the evening, so I did not expect a response until the next day.  But I got a response in about three minutes!  He said he would call the next day.
I got the call in mid-afternoon the next day, and we set  it up for two days later.
Today he called at about 12:15 PM, and said he was on the way.  I was out doing errands, but my wife was home.  I got home a half hour later, and he was already half done.  The previous installers had placed the track too tightly, and George had already identified the problem and moved one track  and reinstalled it in no time.  While he was there he saw they had attached the drive mechanism in a weak spot at the top of the door.  Screws were placed where there was only the aluminum shell of the door, when only a couple of inches further down there was solid material in the core of the door that would not flex and eventually break.  So he moved the attachment plate.  He also tightened the springs to better balance the door.
He had also discovered the electric eye was loose at the bottom of the door.  This prevents the door from closing if something is in the way. I had tried to secure that device a few months ago, but the old screw holes had some rot and it was tenuous.  George has discovered this and repaired that also.
He could not take care of me yesterday because someone in Ocala, FL had asked him to do a large commercial door up there yesterday.  Whoever that was bypassed Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa, and Sarasota - bringing a master craftsman three hours away to get the job done right.
We talked a bit.  Mr. Pike came from Rhode Island where he worked for decades.  He has the common sense, skill, and character to provide a kind of service that is almost never seen today.  Most trades people today would have made an adjustment to stop the binding - maybe moving the track.  They might have tightened the springs.  If they did not wiggle the electric eye they would have not seen or repaired that problem.  No one else would have bothered with the way the drive plate was attached, as it was working fine.  Then they would have charged a $150 minimum, or may have looked to provide a more expensive repair.
I am glad that I was out when he arrived, so I could see how conscientious and efficient he was.  He discovered and fixed four problems in less than one hour.  Most providers would have fixed the most obvious thing and found one more to fix, so as to impress us.  Then they would have charged us $150.
I was about to write, "I'm speechless."  But as you can see, that doesn't ever really happen.
Don't waste any more time looking for better service.  There is no cheaper service.
You can pay more for less, and you are very likely to do so if you do not use him.
In the end he charged me $93 and change.  I gladly paid him $100.
I was lucky to find someone as efficient, as honest, as conscientious, and as skilled.  He is of  a vanishing breed.
Get George Pike while you can.

"We've had a lot of renovation work done on our house over the last several years, and Superior Kitchens And Baths was the best company that we've worked with overall. Jane, Brandon, and their entire crew and subcontractors were all great to work with. They were very responsive, hard working, professional, stuck closely to their schedules, and did high quality work across the board. Additionally, Jane, Brandon, and Dustin are genuinely nice people that were great to get to know and interact with throughout the effort. From the start, Jane and Brandon came up with creative solutions to allow us to get everything we wanted in the renovation, and figured out potential pitfalls and workarounds before the work even started. They were great with helping us decide on overall designs and individual items throughout the work. They put together a thorough breakdown of costs for their proposal that they tracked throughout the effort, as well as a schedule that they stuck closely to. When unforeseen circumstances came up with folks getting sick and being unable to work, Brandon worked long days and weekends to keep caught up with their schedule. They seemed to treat the job like it was their own house. Overall, we'd highly recommend them, and would hire them again for any future work."

"Mike and his team did an excellent job with our floors. We came up with an excellent plan that involved a minimal amount of moving for our furniture. Mike was very easy to communicate with and was highly responsive."

"Couldn't have gone better. Stairs look awesome. Sam showed up on time, and work was done professionally and efficiently in two days."
