"Bob has done numerous projects for our old house over the years mainly carpentry, and most recently to replace cedar siding on a large area of the house. Bob does excellent carpentry and finish work and is an extremely hard worker. He has also done wood gutter repair, cleaning and sealing, hung exterior doors and installed exterior wood railings for us. The various projects have involved a significant amount of high exterior painting. He has a wide range of skills and excellent problem-solving ability. Because of this history, we have a lot of trust that Bob will do an excellent job at whatever project he accepts."

"The project went extremely well. Gaby is a consummate craftsman and finish carpenter. As someone who built custom furniture in my early days, I am very familiar with woodworking and can immediately distinguish between good, quality work and Excellent craftsmanship. Gaby fits the latter! He does all the work himself and takes incredible pride in the quality of his work. He built out the shelving in our pantry and when completed, there was an issue with the height of each of the shelves. When I brought the issue to his attention, Gaby apologized profusely and was back at my house within 48 hours to remedy the situation. This is a situation where you get what you pay for! His pricing was a bit high but fair as custom-built cabinets go. The difference is justified in the quality of materials he uses and the attention to every little detail during installation. During COVID, we paid 50% up front so he could purchase the materials right away as the cost of aLL MATERIALS CONTINUED TO SOAR. Gaby is honest, friendly, highly skilled and fin to work with. The only criticism I have is every decision made and agreement made was on a handshake (Old-school). There was not a formal quote or any paperwork other than the drawings from our designer that I provided. He gave me a range on price and of course, when the work was done, it was the higher of the range. We had initially planned for 2 pantries built by Gaby but ended up only needing shelves in a modified pantry that had already existed which my builder had modified. There were no adjustments in his verbal quote or final price. I had wished at the time that it was in writing. Good communication. Always on time and said what he would do and did what he said! Always cleaned up and left the work space ready and clean for the next guy. I would be happy to speak with anyone or send photos of before and after. You can reach me at captainrogerk@gmail.com. Great work Gaby! Thank you."

"Carlos is an absolute pro, and just one of the friendliest people you'll meet to boot! He was very responsive in getting back to me after initial contact, and was very thorough in his assessment. He took the time to ask relevant followup questions. He was also one of the few installers I contacted that was willing to work with with customer-provided equipment. I understand it's lucrative to work with wholesalers and retailers to provide equipment for these installations, but if you've already done the research, and have bought exactly what you want... it's frustrating to meet installer after installer that won't even entertain doing an installation for equipment they didn't provide. At any rate, Carlos was very patient and professional, providing recommendations based on my situation. Absolute top notch work! I'm listening to the system now, and it sounds fantastic! Thanks, Carlos!"
Carlos has the speaker installed along with the TV mount well underway.  Xfinity cable box, Sonos amplifier etc all concealed down within the homes basement!  Out of sight, out of mind!

Sometimes you just have to smile and kill them with kindness...  LOL!

TV's don't have to always look like a TV.  Why not match your TV and audio system to match the aesthetics in your room?
Here we installed a Samsung Frame TV and Sonos Beam soundbar (both in white).

"We hired Todd for an extensive remodel of our home and couldn’t be more thrilled with how nice it turned out, how smooth the process was, and how helpful Todd was along the entire way. The project has been complete for a while, I am just now following up with a long overdue review. Downstairs Todd removed 2 walls including a staircase to create an open living space for us. Where the walls were removed, he installed 3 new support beams per the engineer’s design, and then wrapped them with rustic oak boards to make them look like original beams, and they turned out beautifully. He installed all new trim around the downstairs windows to match the rest of the house. Todd gutted our old kitchen and built an island for us, installing all new cabinets, crown molding, and the appliances. He even custom modified 2 drawers in the island so that we could conceal the electrical outlets behind part of the drawer panel but not lose the entire storage space of the drawer. He did such a great job with the drawer modification they look like they came that way from the factory. The entire kitchen turned out perfect. During the same remodel, we also hired Todd to combine 2 bedrooms into a new master suite. This involved removing walls, installing a beam, and installing new walls for the new master bathroom and closet. While the ceiling was opened up Todd noticed a drip coming from above on a rainy day, and after finding the source, he offered us a very reasonable price to replace a small section of siding to ensure we wouldn’t have any water issues. We are grateful he was so observant and willing to go the extra mile for us by fixing this issue that was not originally in our scope. In the new master bathroom the extensive amount of tile and the new glass shower enclosure that he installed couldn’t have turned out any nicer, all the lines were perfect. He took great care in his tile usage, minimizing waste with his cuts which we appreciated especially on the expensive tile he installed in a decorative strip. Todd was great to work with throughout the entire project and very professional day in and day out. Being such a large project, as it progressed there were several things we realized we wanted to add to the workscope while everything was opened up. Todd was very accommodating and gave us reasonable prices for each addition we threw his way. We appreciated his flexibility very much. Todd also helped us with various design considerations, and had some great ideas that helped us work with the engineer to get the upstairs beams laid out in a way that optimized our new space. He pays close attention to detail and worked hard to ensure we would be happy with the end result of the project. Overall Todd is a real pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him and the quality of his work."

"The best money we've ever spent. Matthew and his team were skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly. He provided helpful advice along the way, promptly communicated at every stage of the process, and started and completed the project on time and on schedule. They helped us go from barely-functional builder grade to a knock-out super functional designer kitchen. The project: We chose a custom color (matched to Pigeon by Farrow and Ball) and shaker doors. We were able to keep all of our perimeter cabinets and Kitchen Tune-up built boxes to bring them up to the ceiling. They modified a few other cabinets so we could add an apron sink and a vent hood. Our kitchen island was completely replaced with new cabinetry, and we also added a large pantry cabinet and bar area with drink fridge and cabinet to a previously open space. Our refrigerator previously had a tiny cabinet over it with the sides open - we added a full depth cabinet over and a full surround around the fridge. The Kitchen Tune-Up Team: Absolutely amazing craftsmen and superior attention to detail. Before beginning work on existing cabinets, they re-leveled them with shims, which is just one example of the pride they took in quality. Everything was finished to perfection. The high-quality of work and our ability to re-use as much as possible enabled us to create a completely new kitchen that was more functional, doubled our storage, and looks like a designer kitchen at a third of what we were quoted for a basic new kitchen build. We paid Kitchen Tune-Up $36,000 and that included new quartz counter and installation of tile backsplash. Separately, we paid for plumbing and electrical work (referred by Kitchen Tune-up), and venting our fan through an exterior wall. We also sourced tile, new lights, the vent hood, cabinet hardware, the sink and faucet, and a drink fridge."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in North Chelmsford, MA

Pressure-treated lumber is the most inexpensive deck railing material. It's a cost-effective option that offers a good balance of durability and affordability for budget-conscious homeowners. Pressure-treated wood meets essential safety standards while keeping upfront costs low. In contrast, vinyl, polyurethane, and composite materials tend to be more expensive but offer additional aesthetic and maintenance benefits.

To calculate how much deck railing you need, measure the length of all the edges of your deck where railings are required (excluding any openings or areas bordered by the house). Since precise measurements are crucial, it's a good idea to hire a professional. Contractors have the expertise to accurately measure and install your deck railings.

In most cases, safety standards require railings on steps with more than four risers, steps wider than 44 inches, and decks over 30 inches high, measured from the next level down.

Railings should also be between 34 and 38 inches tall. Regulations can vary based on your location, so it's important to check your local building codes or consult a local contractor. There are also rules about the size of the gaps between pickets and between the bottom of the railing and the deck.

Before installing a railing on your front porch, you'll need to check local permitting requirements. Local building authorities may have specific codes that require a permit—or, in some cases, no permit at all. Reviewing your city's guidelines and consulting a qualified professional will help ensure your project meets all legal and safety standards, preventing any unexpected issues during inspections.

Deciding whether to repair or replace your deck railings depends on the extent of the damage and whether you can match new materials to the old ones. If you have minor issues, repair might be an option. However, when it's challenging to match existing materials, replacing the railings can give your deck a fresh start and reset its lifespan. A decking expert can assess your railings and recommend the best course of action to improve safety and maintain a cohesive look.
