Get matched with top wood stairs and railings repairers in Farmingdale, NJ

"HZ is the only contractor who knew how to fix the railing in my 175 year old historic home. They were neat and efficient. I would definitely reccomend HZ and use them again."

"I needed alot of work and repairs done in my house. I called and met with Harvey about what I wanted to be done in my home, and two days later, the work was being conducted on my house. The significant items were that I needed new basement steps, and Harvey and his crew rebuilt new the steps and railings. I needed my kitchen refreshed and desperately needed a new kitchen floor. I had the kitchen, dining room, lower and upper hallways, and living room painted. I had my windows corked from the inside, and the outside and some of the windows were also repaired. Harvey and his men were very professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. They showed up every day and on time and worked extremely hard. Harvey offered ideas and suggestions on my home improvements and repair. I was thrilled by the outcome of their work. I would highly recommend them. I plan to use them in the future."

"Technician arrived on time and repaired circuit breaker."

"They were very professional. They explained all the work that was done and the reason why certain work that was included couldn't be accomplished."

"Words cannot describe how well these guys did and everything they worked with us on. We had several small jobs and deck work. They painted our high vaulted walls and ceilings. They fixed our shower plumbing and added an acces panel for the shower. They installed a new ceiling fan. They re-faced our rotted deck and replaced several joists. Replaced both sets of stairs and set them in concrete. Amazing woodworking, professionalism, punctual, truly good people that you can actually trust. All work was done in a very timely fashion. We will definitely hire again for various projects around the house."

"My experience was mediocre at best with this company. They were very good with starting the work. Towards the end of completion, they had one day that was a no show. I had to call to find out they couldn't come that day. I preferred to get a call from them rather having to follow up myself. The windows they installs were done incorrectly. Water stated to leak into the house and ruined the brand new sheetrock I installed. I would recommend this company for small jobs. They may try to cut corners if you dont keep an eye on them."

"My sister and I hired Miyagi Rails Specialist, LLC to do stair repairs for our Dad's brownstone. It was the best decision that we made, he was very knowledgeable at his job, professional and punctual. The work that was done was exemplary. We would hire Miyagi Rails Specialist, LLC again for any additional repairs."

"Ricardo was reliable and did excellent work in refinishing the wood floor in our apartment. He was timely and communicated frequently. His price was very competitive. I would recommend him highly and would hire him again."

"Two years ago we used this company to clean out the inside of the gutters and powerwash the house and were very pleased with the service provided so we called them again. Unfortunatly we did not have the same experience. I reached out to Alan via email to which he responded promptly. We went back and forth a few times to clarify pricing and details of work being done always with a prompt response. We decide to have the gutters hand washed for an additional $195.00  ($175.50 with 10% senior discount) as well as cleaning out the inside of them and powerwashing the house. When Alan's worker comes to do the work he determines that hand washing the gutters would damage them and therefore we do not have them hand washed. Once the job is finished the worker contacts Alan to adjust the bill since the gutters were not hand washed. Alan first adjusts the bill by $131.50 and then by $156.50 when we question it instead of $175.50 we were charged. We call Alan several times while the worker is waiting and Alan does not answer the phone. Since we do not want to keep the worker waiting we pay him the requested amount knowing it is incorrect. Alan has not returned any of our phone calls or emails since July 28 and has cashed my check and not returned the $19.00 that was overcharged. Needless to say we will not be using Alan Drake in the future. 

A $19.00 refund was received on 8/13/15. I checked back through all incoming email, deleted email and spam  as well as incoming phone calls and messages and did not find the email Alan was referring to nor any other responses to my inquiries. As I was checking my email and phone messages several times a day waiting to hear from him I most definitely would have responded. I realize he was dealing with a personal matter at the time and did allow 2 weeks before posting my review. I am pleased that the matter has been resolved and I have adjusted 3 ratings to reflect the situation has been addressed.

"The odds were against A+ Professional Painting Services when Derek DeVivo showed up to our house to quote the work that we needed done.  After getting burned by a painting service that we believed was capable of doing the job in the first place we questioned our ability to make decisions and were skeptical of every contractor that came to quote the work we needed to get our house back in shape.  Furthermore, whomever was awarded our job was doomed to work ?under a microscope? ? our reaction to the circumstances that got us into the position we were already in. It?s not easy for a contractor to work for detail oriented people and having to work for detail oriented people who?ve been burned is about as hard as it gets. 
When he arrived to estimate our job Derek carefully looked over every room and listened while we strayed into angry conversation about what the other painter did to our house.  He was sympathetic and professional in his approach and that immediately won us over.  In fact, after meeting with him we were so confident that he would rescue us from the mess we were in that we had mentally hired him, so it was a very long week for us while we waited for his quote.  While we waited we worried that Derek?s quote would be too high or that he?d decide to pass on our job.  After all, Derek is smart, perceptive, and has a good business sense (we saw that in him the day he came out to estimate our job).  Why would he, or any other thriving painting contractor take a job in which the homeowner is likely going to be questioning everything he did, watching over his shoulder every step of the way?
While we don?t know exactly what compelled Derek to take our job, we do know that he didn?t back down from the challenge and we?re forever grateful for that.
Derek and Brad showed up on the agreed upon date, on time, and ready to work.  The job consisted of repairing damage to the walls caused by wallpaper removal (quite a bit of it), significant damage to the walls/ceilings caused by the previous contractor?s attempts to repair them, skim coating, patching, prepping moldings for paint, and painting ceilings, trim, and doors in approximately 2/3 of our house.  They were organized and systematic in their approach to the job and took measures to protect our floors and furniture.  While you might expect these things from a painting contractor I can tell you from firsthand experience that these are not things to take for granted.  Derek and Brad were able to do what a team of five painters couldn?t do before them AND without making a mess or leaving one thing out of place when they were done!
Both men worked together on small sections of our house at a time so as to minimize the inconvenience to us.  They asked where they could stage their equipment each time they moved to a different section of the house and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. On a day that we were home while they were working we didn?t hear a radio blaring throughout the house, didn?t hear offensive language from them, and didn?t witness them leaving our house to go to another job or out on
estimates.  We just listened as they worked cooperatively, focused on the task at hand and answered any questions they had along the way.  It was EXACTLY the kind of experience you expect to have when you hire someone to work in your home.
 As you might have guessed we went over their work with a fine tooth comb every night after they were done.   What we learned while doing this was that Derek and Brad had a great eye for detail and were making strides in fixing the mess that was left for them.  Still, just by the sheer scope of what there was to do, there were things that they either hadn?t noticed or hadn?t gotten to that we wanted brought to their attention.  And although we had every right as paying customers to bring these things up we were nervous that we would say too much or push too far and that Derek and Brad would leave our job undone
like the previous contractor had.  Nonetheless (almost) every day (again, because of the sheer number of repairs that needed to be made) we presented Derek with a list of things that we wanted to see addressed.    
And every day Derek and Brad took care of these things and then some without complaint.  They just stepped up and did the work.  A lesser person might have taken these lists as criticism of his work but Derek knew better than that, and if he didn?t, he certainly conducted himself in a manner that indicated otherwise.  A true professional through-and-through.
