"JDC construction started the job on time as was scheduled. John was hard working and knowledgeable of his project. Deck replacement was completed as projected. John was great to work. He takes pride in his work. I would refer him to others for any project."

"Great.  Tim was skilled, honest, forthright, courteous, considerate and punctual through the whole job.  His assistant was pleasant and hardworking.  He came out right away to look at the deck which had been flagged by the inspector I hired to look at the house when I was under contract to buy it.  Though this was a relatively small job, he helped me understand deck structure as well as point me towards independant sources of information to help me through the negotiating process with respect to getting a reduction of the house's purchase price which involved at least a dozen calls and communications.  (I did get estimates from other builders who came out higher with all sorts of caveats built into their contract so I could not be sure what the final price would be).   When the actual job started, we ran into some tough ground (clay and large rocks) to remove in order to putting the footings which took extra days to get through as it was done by hand (because Tim did not want to tear up my yard with his heavy duty digging equipment).  Tim did not charge me beyond the estimate for this unforseeable complication though it was clearly within his right under the circumstances to do so.  The work was excellent and he is the type of a craftsman who is by nature unable to leave a job that isn't well done.  Though I thought the job was done, he came back out to perfect it beyond what I had expected.  He left the place as clean as he found it.    I recommend him without hesitation

"Within days of purchasing the deal, I received the instructions and paper to draw my table templates. The table has 2 drop leaves plus 2 additional leaves that can be inserted in the table. The templates were pretty easy to draw. The finished pads were delivered in a very short time. They fit the table and each of the 4 leaves perfectly and magnetically lock together to keep them aligned when on the table. A year and a half later, I still love these pads."

"Mark and Creative did an EXCELLENT job! We had a dark burgundy dining room and were wanting to switch to a light gray / beige color as were concerned as to how much it would cost due to needing many coats to cover the old color. Mark reassured us that he could do this in two coats and that he was confident that it would not need a third. He was right! Mark uses only the best paints available for the specific jog. This is the 3rd or 4th time we have used Mark, so although we were skeptical, we trusted Mark. He was right! Tow coats, one day on site, and our dining room was perfect! I will only use, and recommend Creative Painting from now on. He is the best! Mark is very professional and understands concerns with empathy. He is able to stand by his words and his work! I recommend Creative Painting to anyone looking for any painting needs."

"In a time when its hard to find quality, reliable help, my expectations for a good tradesman were not very high. I wanted to add a downstairs bathroom for my home and randomly selected a company. To my surprise, Dan Church and Construct Boss surpassed my expectations. They were very knowledgeable and helped me save in areas I would have overspent. His team was thorough and efficient while paying attention to the small details. It's nice to find a handyman you can depend on. Thanks Construct Boss!"

"The person that came out to discuss it with us she was wonderful, she new everything and every question we had she either answered it herself or found the answer elsewhere. The gentleman that arranged the installation was really good the installers were clean and left everything very neat. I was very satisfied with them."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Madison, WI

A pro can set an attic ladder in two to four hours, including framing adjustments and finish work. Complex installs—like cutting a brand-new opening or trimming joists—land toward the high end of that window. Tackle the job yourself and plan on a full day, plus an extra pair of hands, since one mis-measurement can slow everything down.

Local building codes drive this decision. If your ceiling has a fire-rating requirement, the ladder must match it to maintain that protective barrier. A rated unit slows flame spread between the attic and living space, buying valuable evacuation time and limiting damage. 

Because codes vary by city and even by neighborhood, check with the permitting office or ask your contractor before you order the ladder.

Aluminum ladders are light, rust-proof, and easy to maneuver, making them a practical choice for most households. Wood models handle higher weight loads and can match traditional trim if aesthetics top your list, but they’re heavier and need occasional upkeep. 

Compare the ladder’s duty rating, your ceiling height, and how often you’ll use it. The best option is the one that balances safety, convenience, and the look you want without stretching the budget.
