Get matched with top wood stairs and railings repairers in New Britain, CT

"I bought a special coupon through Angieslist for some window frame repair and contacted the seller. No respond for couple of weeks so I cancelled the coupon then he contacted me via my email. I understand the seller must be busy but a minute courtesy call can resolve this issue easily. He may be good at what he does but I am a good customer too."

"Andy and his crew are super professionals and detail oriented. He noticed structural issues and took the time to properly correct them before proceeding with the balance of his work. The level of detail and care to do our porch was incredible. They come in quietly and get the job done but he does the work properly and doesn’t skip steps. I strongly recommend Andy and I will be using them for projects in my house."

"Very professional and sensitive to needs. Also trustworrhy and cleaned up when done. Quality work. Definitely worthy of highly recommending."

"Jose Rodriguez was a basic carpenter. He used up 1/2 hour purchasing materials and I had to go with him to pay for them rather than reimburse him for the items. He had to pay him for the rest of the work which ended up costing over $300 for basic work that any handyman could have done. He left the wooden beam support with bracing and could not return until two days later and I was concerned that my large dog might get injured if she moved this. He left a heavy 2 foot 4x4 in my basement near the air conditioner; he also left the rotted roof support beam on my property which I had to dispose of. I kept the unused and cut wood that was purchased as I could cut it and re-use it elsewhere. I recently hired a real carpenter for replacement of my shed doors and he was a true skilled professional who came to my house and measured the wood needed and hardware and purchased the materials and had an assistant to help him do the work which was an excellent job. Quite a difference. Had I known I would have hired him to do the other work done previously and the cost for his work was at a much better price than the Angie's List "pro". No more Angie's List pros for me. Wherever do you find them and how do they get an A rating?"

"I had already gotten other quotes for the roof replacement, but I saw a coupon on Angie's List for Alliance Home Improvement and decided to get a quote from them, too. I'm glad I did! Sergiy was punctual and professional for the quote and was able to do the roof and some other needed repairs that were not even roof-related, for about the same price as the other quotes I had gotten that were just for the roof alone. His workers were courteous, hard-working and made sure the job site was neat and clean each day. They got the jobs done promptly and everything looks great! I would definitely recommend them."

"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."

"Our 23 year old roof started leaking during a heavy downpour in September and I reached out to several roofing contractors through Angie's List. Mr Zaman was one of the most prompt in replying and came to our house the next day. He determined that the roof needed to be replaced (which other contractors also recommended). What set him apart was that he went out of his way to temporarily patch up the leaky area until the roof could be replaced without a commitment for the new roof, whereas others didn't even offer. After getting a few quotes, we decided to hire Zaman for the roof based on competitive quotes, responsiveness and workmanship warranty. The job was scheduled for the next week and took a day and a half. Clean up was thorough and, when one of the screen doors was accidentally damaged, Mr Zaman had it fixed and reinstalled without any excuses. We're very pleased with our new roof. While it has yet to be tested by a heavy downpour, we're confident that Mr Zaman would address any issues given our experience thus far."

"Santos was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He showed up and did a very thorough inspection to determine what the issue with our roof was. He gave a detailed explanation of the work he would do and was prompt with his estimate. He was very personable and professional. He showed up on time and worked very efficiently with his crew. He found other issues as the job went along and explained everything in detail and was able to do the extra repair work that same day. He and his crew were attentive to COVID precautions and wore masks anytime they were in the home. Santos cleaned up every little bit of construction debris before leaving. He went above and beyond what we expected. We are looking forward to working with him on our next project. We highly recommend Santos Roofing and Home Improvement."

"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."
