"We hired Rick to replace an iron railing (original to the home ~ 1970) with a more modern looking wooden and black iron railing. He provided an estimate, committed to the work and was communicative throughout the entire process. The railing looks great and is exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend"

"We first met Patrick Beyers in 2014 when he was partnering with our contractor on our full kitchen remodel, including updates to the attached family room and laundry. He was there almost daily for over 3 months, and we enjoyed getting to know him. His work was excellent, and his approach to us as customers was friendly, accommodating, and always professional. He always listened and offered helpful advice on design changes, products, and options. More recently, in the Fall of 2023 we wanted to update our 30-year old Master Bath. We contracted with Patrick who did an amazing job. His estimates were fair, his design allowed us to keep a few existing elements to keep costs down, and he stayed on Budget. He brought samples of products to help me make decisions (too many tile choices available), and helped us blend the new with the old. He stayed on Budget and took care of every detail. He aims to please and I would not hesitate recommending him. You’ll gain a friend!"

It went great!!   For the estimate they worked around my schedule.  I knew how I wanted the deck to look but that was it. Lew was great in helping me decide all the details. The work was done in a few days and all the workers were very polite and helpful  with any questions I had along the way. I now have a gorgeous deck from the back of my house with new sliding doors up to my pool that has a locking gate for the safety of my children. They did a fantastic job!!

"This was a big job that was part of a whole-house renovation. JA Drywall installed framing and drywall throughout my second floor (three bedrooms + hallway) that had experienced a fair amount of water damage as the result of a leaky roof. Juan and Joshua were great coordinating the project--super quick response time for a walk-through & estimate. And the crew were great---super nice guys who did a great job. (One of them even lent me a tool to help with a project I was working on in the kitchen!) Both my carpenter and painters were impressed with their work. I would rehire &/or recommend them in a heartbeat."

"Overall it was not bad, but I did not have a good enough experience to be willing to use them again.  I had bought the installation deal for this faucet here on Angie's list.  The first time we scheduled an appointment his truck broke down and he forgot to call me to cancel.  I understand these things happen, but I waited 3 hours before finally calling him to find out he totally forgot about our appointment.  So communication wasn't that great.  On the phone he said that since he had cancelled on me without any heads up, if anything extra came up during the faucet replacement he'd take care of it for me.  When we rescheduled the appointment, he arrived on time and complained that the vanity was very tight and the countertop was challenging to access.  I guess it's not the biggest vanity in the world, but it certainly isn't unreasonably small.  I had also already disconnected the old faucet in advance, making his job even easier.  But he went on a few times about how tight of an access it was.  Then he told me it would be an additional $75 to replace the P trap.  I knew the P trap needed to be replaced, but when I reminded him about our phone call and how he said he'd take care of unforeseen issues for me as a favor for missing our first appointment, he said "that was before I had seen this vanity."  So in a nutshell, he claimed that to install my specific bathroom faucet would have been more money than the $125 angie's list deal because of a smaller vanity and that he was throwing me that extra charge for free and then charging the additional $75 for the replacement of the P-trap.  At the end of the day, the price wasn't that bad and the service quality is fine, but the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth and I'd rather try my luck with someone new next time I need plumbing work done.

"Montco was one of 3 fence installers we had out to give an estimate on installing a vinyl privacy fence in our yard. Bill (the owner, I believe) came and one of the first things he said was that we should just do wire along the back of the yard instead of vinyl since there is already a wall of evergreen trees there. It would save us a big chunk of money (probably about 2K) and also make the yard feel less boxed in. He was the only one of the 3 contractors to suggest this and it made us feel like he actually cared. He listened to our concerns about keeping the fence as low as possible to keep the dogs in and was the only contractor who seemed fully confident in his ability to get the fence installed on a sizable incline without stepping the panels."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Swarthmore, PA

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.
