Get matched with top wood stairs and railings installers and replacers in Glendale, KY

"After getting some repairs done in our basement, we needed the area to be drywalled. This included removing some old paneling. Rafael and his assistant did an excellent job . We were so pleased that we hired him to lay new flooring and paint the entire area. His charges were very reasonable given the scope of the work. Rafael communicated regularly with us regarding his progress. We would definitely recommend him and would hire him again for future projects."

"Amazing work and even better guy, this guys a stud all around and knows what he is doing."

"The job went fantastic. They were punctual, professional and affordable. I highly recommend them for basement finishing. They did the framing, electrical, and drywall. My husband and I did all the trim work, wainscoting, and light fixtures. Someone else installed the flooring. They were finished in three weeks time. Unfortunately I could not get my photos past the framing to load."

"Went well. Extremely good price for a table with one or more leaves"

In Fall 2015 Brad from Beams Roofing inspected my mother’s house for storm damage.  Brad was very respectful and knowledgeable and worked great with my insurance company.  He felt the insurance company’s quote was too low and submitted revised measurements to obtain an additional $600.  The weather became too cold to replace the roof so we agreed to wait until Spring.  In Spring I called to schedule the installation but Brad was no longer with the company so I met with owner Wes Beams.  Mr. Beams went over insurance paperwork and wrote up a new contract (some items slightly higher cost than in the Fall).  I was a little concerned when several line items were left out of the new contract, but as I pointed them out, Mr. Beams wrote them back in.  I was also surprised when he said I would have to pay for all the material upfront (because I’ve always heard not to do that – even from my insurance company).  Due to the high rating on Angie’s List, I went ahead and agreed and provided $4200 up front.  The work was expected to take less than day, and since my mother has Alzheimer’s and we would need to make special arrangements, it was agreed the work would be done on a Sunday (they do not typically work on Saturdays).   It was also agreed that if the roof took longer than a day we would get notice (because we would need to make arrangements for mom).  On installation day we returned home at 5:00 pm and the workers had left, but the roof was not done.  We had not heard from Beams, but Monday morning the workers began hammering at 7:00 am.  This was a hard day for my mother, since we were not given ample notice to make arrangements (they were supposed to schedule a time for a 2nd day – we didn’t know they were coming Monday morning).  There were legitimate reasons the roof didn’t get done in 1 day (damp ground, replacing some rotten wood), but I wish the communication had been better.   Upon completion of roof, Mr. Beams called me the next morning to tell me he had talked with my insurance company and that I was to go ahead and pay him for the remaining cost, and when my cancelled check came back to give him a copy and he would file it with the insurance company.  That set off a few warning bells for me.  I said okay, but hung up and called my insurance company.  They had no record of speaking with him (they said they log all calls), and that this would never be the proper procedure.  They agreed to let me conference in Mr. Beam while they explained how the insurance filing worked (fax in completion details and they would issue a check in a day or two).  I met with Mr. Beams that same evening so I could go ahead and pay him our deductible share, along with some money for the boards they replaced.  I had the checks ready for him based on our contract, but Mr. Beams spent 20 minutes re-adding things up again and again, eventually agreeing that the checks I provided were exactly what the contract said.  He had a terrible attitude that evening.  He said I should pay the last $1800 the insurance owed because the contract was between me and him – not the insurance company.  I had already given him almost $6000 (most of it up-front), so I’m not sure why he was so upset over waiting an extra couple of days for the last $1800.  I told him it was my understanding that most roofing companies worked with insurance companies since not every homeowner would have the money to pay for roof installations up front and then get reimbursed.  He said he doesn’t usually work with insurance companies, and then proceeded to spend 20 minutes bashing the roof on my own house (which I had told him I had installed a couple of years ago).  He then complained that he lost money on our roof, did me a favor by working on a weekend, that he was going to go back to my insurance company and ask for more money because the measurements were wrong (his company measured).  In my opinion he was acting childish and trying to deflect from the fact he caught called out for saying the insurance company said for me to pay for the roof and get reimbursed.  Used car salesman is the impression I was left with. The roof itself looks good as far as I can tell.  They cleaned up after themselves, so no complaints in that area.

"It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. There was an issue with it and I got a refund for it. I called them and they said they had already come when I wasn't home. They said they inspected it and I needed all this repair work. There wasn't any evidence that they had been there to inspect my roof. You would have to get up on a ladder and there was no sign they had been there. The gutters hadn't been touched. I didn't believe they had actually been there. I felt they were selling me a package that they could sell to anybody. I didn't feel like I got anything for the purchase so I got a refund for it. They didn't do what they claimed they did."

"The project required lots of prep work in that there was a tremendous amount  of trim work to be done lots of windows and 8" baseboards.  Great job .

"To start out, I should point out that I have built a number of decks in my life; and have lived in California, Colorado, Florida, and here in Kentucky. I currently work in commercial construction, but know both residential and commercial building codes. I typically do all the work around my house; everything from fixing plumbing issues to rewiring electrical, and everything in between. I don’t like to hire contractors because they don’t call you back, disappear after payment, and generally don’t do the work to my standards. I will not, however, get up on the backside of our deck and move 6x6x20 beams to support a roof 35' in the air. So I went through the process of hiring someone I felt was qualified. Since I have the experience, I know how much a project of this magnitude should cost, and how long it should take. I called about 20 contractors around Louisville to get quotes for the work, and besides not getting calls back from a lot of contractors, or bids obviously too low or way too high, I lucked out and got a referral to K&L Home Improvement to build the deck. I found pictures of their work on Facebook, and looked at their current and previous projects to see what they can do, and the quality of their finished product. I then called Keevin Thomas, and had him come to the house and explained what I wanted him to do. I should point out I didn’t tell him my background, and didn’t tell him how to do the job. I only told him what I wanted it to look like. The same thing I told 20 other estimators/contractors before him. He definitely knew all the code requirements, and pointed out code compliance issues he would correct when he rebuilt the existing deck (my deck lacked joist hangers, stringers were undersized in one area) and issues he would solve when expanding the roof. He also came back for a second visit with his roofer/framer because he wanted to make sure he captured everything in his estimate before giving me a final quote. Trust me, this is a BIG plus, because I don’t want to find out half way through the work that you forgot to include gutters, or vinyl siding, or didn’t realize the roof trusses would have to be replaced and now my cost is going up to cover your mistake. He knew exactly what had to be done, and exactly how to do it. I received his quote, and while it wasn’t the cheapest, it was one of the more comprehensive and detailed estimates, explaining exactly what they would do, and how it would be accomplished. I accepted his quote, and he was able to get his guys to my house the following week to start the work, well exceeding my expectations in a busy construction market. What can I say about the workers; it’s COLD outside, but they still pulled off the existing deck and roof, efficiently built the new structure, sealed it up, and completed the work in about two weeks, just like I expected. The other thing I expected, and got, was a call or visit from Keevin each day to make sure everything was proceeding as expected. He walked me through the process of what his guys were going to be focusing on that day, asked if there was anything I needed/if I had any concerns, and brought any issues to my attention (like the shingles were a difficult match because of previous work on the roof in that area) I expect a good contractor to talk to and explain his plan before proceeding, even though they are the experts. At one point, we were having the roof torn off to replace, and I saw there was a major storm coming in a few days on the news. He had a plan in place to cover the house with a tarp days before, just in case, and promised the work would be completed before the rainstorm. He did, in fact, meet every promise he made on the project, including this one, and the roof was ready for a heavy downpour. The work went off without a hitch, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I’m glad I met Keevin, and would call him again if we needed more work done on the house now or in the future. It’s nice to know there is a reputable, honorable contractor doing work in Louisville. I can’t say enough good things about the overall experience and the results. If you’ve hired contractors before, you know the stress involved with having someone tear up part of your existing home. Everything is finished and exceeds even MY expectations."
