Get matched with top wood stairs and railings repairers in Scappoose, OR

"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."

"This company was easy to get a hold of, good at getting back me, did amazing work, and is someone I would look to hire again. I had pieces and sections of baseboards that were missing and or hopelessly dysfunctional. A Better Carpenter came in figured out all the details of matching old trim and making all look like new again. They were also efficient, polite, and fast. I had to call a lot of contractors and handymen who didn't work out before hand. It worked out though because I was very happy with this company and its work."

"It went great.  It took me a while to get them out but not because of them it was my schedule was the problem.  The price was fine. I think initially when they came they sent the guy out to power wash the house before painting. The guy that they sent out he didn't understand what work needed to be done so he didn't bring the right equipment. So he had to come back and do it.  In the end they made everything right to feel good about everything that happened."

"price is better other places magnets do not work keeping panels connected"

"The job went very well. Mark showed up early every day. He has a lot of good ideas and is very meticulous with a great eye for detail. He also found places to save us money along the way.
We hope to have more work done next year and we will definitely be calling Mark for that.  "

"I called to cancel it because, there was a lot of miscommunication. There was not enough understanding of what I needed and what they were doing. Then they tried to help me out, it turned out OK in the end and it got resolved. It took me a while to call them because, I had surgery. They were responsive and good. What I had done took longer, so I had to pay another $400. I would have done more research, or gotten more bids on it. They were pleasant, and responsible. For me, it would have been better if they had sent someone at first, before they did the job. I would have shown them what needed to be done, and they would have understood me better. They were punctual."

"Timely response. Thorough work. Beautiful result."

"They did a good job. They did it right and were more concerned about doing things the right way. The price okay, but it could have been a little lower."

"Installation of Bathroom Grab Bars, and Installation of outside Back Steps Railing: Outstanding experience, would highly recommend them. Define the job well with them: they will listen well, and provide a good solution. They welcomed my inputs for the jobs, which included a detailed paper and photos. Where my ideas left off, they took off splendidly: Both installing the bathroom grab bars, and the back steps railing, needed ultra attention to safe, solid installation, and they provided both jobs, with good looking results at reasonable costs and timely completion. They asked us to test the grab bars and the step rails in their presence, to assure they were completely what we needed. The grab bars installation was on an old wall of lath and plaster, and they found wall studs for solid mounting. I provided the grab bars, they provided the mounting know-how. This took about 1.5 hrs. The back steps rail solution for a short flight (2) of outside cement steps provided a rock solid installation using good looking pipe and 2x4 cedar studs: about 4 hours work. This was a good example of how they completed my idea of what the railings would look like: my idea was a bit hazy! Their work was high quality and innovative, totally working with us to provide a very safe result, that looked great too. They were very polite, listened well, talked over solutions well, until we all knew what the results would achieve in safety and looks. Professional, on phone and on site. The timeliness was good: 1 week between initial contact / estimate to job completion. Job wrap up with us was good, assuring, and personable, Cleanup was good. Cost writeup was very complete: they finely detailed all their labor and material costs, so all was accounted for with no surprises: the total was about $700 less than the estimate! In conclusion this experience exuded real professionalism, know-how, and commitment to the customer; and I will want them here again. I would recommend them to others too."

"David was a man of his word.  His team did excellent work.  He let me know of all problems with supplier (don't ever use George Morlan for supplies; they screw up and delay orders).  He stuck to his word by always keeping one bathroom functional even if this wasn't in the contract.  Yes, he's a bit gruff.  But he delivers quality work.  This is 2nd time I've used him."
