Martin did an amazing job making and installing the perfect stair rail at a townhome I recently renovated. Great communication and quality.

Martin, Darren, and team were wonderful to work with! By far the most cost-effective quote we got and the quality of work was top-notch. We were able to send pictures of our existing staircase along with what we wanted, and Martin was able to get us a quote over Yelp. In just a day and a half, his team removed the existing railing and replaced it with white oak and iron balusters. They paid great attention to detail and made sure our space was as tidy as possible while working. Would definitely recommend working with them! read more

We have beautiful new railings and handrails thanks to Martin and his team. He worked with the manufacturer directly, which made the whole project much more affordable. It's amazing the difference these new railings have made in our home. The railing is the first thing you see when you walk in the door, and it makes quite an impression. We're well on our way to the modern, rustic house of our dreams. Thanks, Martin! read more

Great service quality and communication. Our stairs came out great. Process was very easy and worth every penny.

Martin doesn't communicate a lot before the work nor answer the text or phone on the weekends. I was very nervous at the beginning of the job is going to be done or if the railing is going to be wobbling ?. None of these happened. My house railing is a piece of art. It's really beautiful. I will recommend him in a heartbeat read more

Martin Stairways - Wood handrails - General Contractors Near Me

We just had a stairway railing installed and it was a great experience from start to finish. We requested a quote on Yelp, sent a few photos and a few we liked from their past work. Their quote was reasonable and we booked it. The crew who showed up were super professional, on time, and just great guys. Whole job was done in a day. I really couldn't think of how it could have gone better. Highly recommend. read more

Half a day to complete the production of the stairs, very professional, The finished staircase is also very beautiful. The price is also very reasonable. read more

After contacting several different companies to have our stair rail replaced, after getting new flooring installed, Martin Stairways was the one that we landed on. From the quote process to the installation everything was very straightforward. Martin was quick with the pricing information and never changed the price through the process. There was a single change in scheduling, pushed out my installation by 2 days, but that happens when building anything custom. Abraham showed up on the first day and made his measurements and cuts, came back the second day and completed the installation and even did a few custom pieces that made the installation look even better. If you are looking for a quality job done by competent folks at a fair price then this is the company you should be working with! read more

Our experience with Martin and his crew was seamless, professional, & impressive. In less than two weeks of getting a quote, our new stairs railing was installed. Martin was very professional and able to create exactly what we had envisioned just from an inspo pic and conversation on the phone. His crew was efficient and did an excellent job installing the railing in one day. After getting several quotes, his price was by far the best. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for custom stairs railing! read more

Martin Stairways - Maple handrail (we still need to stain). - General Contractors Near Me

I wanted to update my staircase from an orange oak original to a more modern white oak treatment with black balusters. After receiving several estimates, I emailed Martin Stairways with a few pictures of my staircase and some measurement. For the same scope, his quote was much less than everyone else, some by several thousands. He emailed a proposal and we scheduled a date for the installation. I was a little uncomfortable about getting this estimate without meeting face to face and wanted to see samples of the wood. Since we lived nearby, he was able to drop it off at my front door. Ultimately, I didn't need to worry because I found Martin Stairways and his painter to be reliable, honest punctual and pros at their work. When they showed up, I could have all of the detail conversations needed for the installation. Skirt or no skirt? How do I want the newel post? I could see the wood. No upselling or sales demeanor at all. In fact, he talked me out of work that I estimated for only by showing me what it looked like in other homes. I appreciated that. They basically woodworked and cut each piece of the stairs to fit perfectly with the space. Same with the painter. Cesar texted the day before and when they arrived, they color tested 4 different stains of my choosing onto the actual wood, on all four sides. This really helped me see how the stain would look on different variations of the Oak grain. They also fixed up the walls next to the stairs like patching broken drywall and sanding down and painting over areas of the wall that was affected by the removal of the old stairs. The work was all-in-all excellent. I had some questions about parts of the railing that Martin personally addressed before the painting. The painting and staining went without a hitch and couldn't find a fault with it. A couple of tips. Don't email Martin on Yelp, but use his email address on his website. He's light on the follow-up communication sometimes but very reliable. Learn about staircase anatomy and be prepared to answer questions on all sorts of parts. And if you have pets or live on the top of the stairs, consider breaking up the woodwork and paint across a couple of weeks because your pet will need to be sequestered. When they varnish, your best bet will be to be out of the house. Honest, reliable, reasonable. Couldn't ask for much more. Give Martin a try! read more

Martin and his team did an amazing job of removing our old newels, ballasters and handrails and installing all new, more contemporary product. He and his team were on time, kept the area clean and diligently completed the work. His painting subcontractor did a beautiful job of painting, staining and finish work. We are delighted with the new staircase! read more

Good price, but not the quality I expected. Loose metal bars and the wood workmanship could have been more defined. Made a few calls to have them come back an repair and they never did after they said they would. Like that saying, you get what you pay for. read more

Martin started on time as planned. I was blown away with the amount of planning that was made with just pictures I've sent him and email communications. The entire stair remodel was completed within 4 days. Very quick and efficient. Folks were very friendly and professional. As for value, we received 3 quotes and Martin was the most competitive. I couldn't be happier with the service and work they provided. Thank you Martin for such an amazing job! read more

Do you ever wish that home repair jobs would be stress free and turn out the way you envision? I never recommend the vendors who work on my house. This time, I can confidently refer this company. Martin didn't actually do the work, but the man who did it (John) was great! Martin was very patient, easygoing, and straightforward over the phone and email. He always wanted to make things clear and knew so much about stairs! I truly wish all home projects were done with such care and confidence. On top of it all, they were reasonably priced! read more

I am so happy with our new stair rails. Martin and his team are total pros and I felt so fortunate to work with them. Easy to communicate with, high quality workmanship and totally pleased with the outcome. read more

Martin Stairways - Completed project - General Contractors Near Me

We wanted to replace our traditional stair railing with a modern one. Martin gave us a quote significantly lower than all other quotes we received. He said the work would take 3 days and gave us a date. We were doubtful because our experience had been that contractors give a time estimation that is lower than how long it actually takes them to complete the job (usually because they have started other jobs in other places). To our surprise, Martin finished the job after less than three days, and did an amazing job. His painter Cesar, also did a clean, punctual and excellent job. The whole project started on a Monday and ended on a Friday. Including demo of the old railing. Highly recommended!!! read more

Martin stairways food installed and stained our banister a couple of years ago. He color matched the stain to the floors. We've been enjoying its beauty ever since. A few years later, other contractors are commenting on how solid and secure it is. He was professional, and cleaned up. We found his prices too be very fair. read more

We had them change out the standard rail that came with the house to oak stairs, white risers, and oak square railing. Can't describe how happy we are with the end result! Completely changed the look. They did an awesome job on the stair treads and rails with solid french oak. The painters they use also did a great job matching the wood floor and were VERY thorough in preparation. Looks great! read more

Highly recommend! Martin and his Boys did our Stairs last year, and I completely forgot to give them the review they deserved. Only recently when another Yelper asked about another review I did regarding a different Stair Company did I remember that I hadn't left a review for Martin, so here it is. From begin to end, everything was spot on. Martin was clear with his communication, listened to our requests, and delivered an awesome set of Stairs for Us. All this with a fair and competitive price. These Stairs are now the centerpiece of our Living Room vs. the eye sore they used to be. After a lot of research, we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted. Martin listened to our requests and brought it to Life. We chose to go with a Craftsman style Stair. We moved the Post from the first Step down to the Floor. Also, we had them notch the Post into the first step. We also went with full treads and had them distressed to match our existing flooring. Martin distressed the treads on-site as well as the glue-ups for the landings. It was awesome seeing this in person. Definitely new found respect for the work required for Stairways. Thanks Martin! read more

Martin Stairways - General Contractors Near Me

Great work, project came out very nice. Very pleased with the result. I highly recommend if you are considering transforming your stairs.

I hired Martin Stairways to replace my dated entryway and stair railings with new wrought iron balusters and a wood top. Martin is a true professional and an expert in this area and was a pleasure to work with, translating my ideas into a beautiful design. His team's work was very high quality, and I couldn't be more pleased with my new staircase railing. The one constructive suggestion I have is that the amount of dust from the installation was more than I expected. This may be second nature to some, but I'm new to the remodeling world, so it would have been helpful to have a heads up on this. I would recommend that homeowners considering a stairway installation make sure that furniture, computers, etc. within the vicinity of the railing are covered. That said, I love my new stairways and I highly recommend Martin! read more

We just had Martin Stairways replace our wood spindles with wrought iron. I expected more expertise than what was demonstrated on our job. Only one employee was sent for the entire project. He removed our wooden spindles alone, with resultant damage to the existing wood treads and to one of the banisters. I pointed this out to him, and he responded that it was "dificult to remove the spindles". (Okay, but that is why we hired an expert.) The filler wood slats used underneath the banister/handrail are a poor fit. I had to ask him to fill with wood putty so we can try to stain that to match our wood. He was not going to do it until I asked, saying that the space was wider than the filler wood. Also, there were sufficient perfectly stained slats available for him to use, but the first one he installed was one with a portion that had an ugly defect, seen in the photo. Would he have used that piece if it was his home? He said he would not be able replace it , as he had already installed and drilled holes into it. He also had to fill in a very visible hole he made on the side of one of the banisters, but only after I asked him to do it. Other chunks were left untouched and will need to be repaired by us or a professional . The iron "shoes" are smaller than the footprint left by my old spindles, so need to be touched up. It's a shame the iron shoes could not be larger to cover the white edges...I would not have done the job if I had known that the final result would like this. Multiple iron spindle footings were left loose (no adhesive or poorly done), so I called Martin and he did send someone else very quickly to fix those. Thank you, Martin. Customer service is good, that's why 3 stars not 2. I know it was a relatively small job, but I believe that 2 workers together would have done a better job. read more

Martin Stairways came through for us when no one else we contacted would or could. My husband had serious back surgery and needed stair rails on both sides of our staircase, which meant removal of the old and instal of the new for full stairway support. Our criteria was not only 4-5 star reviews, but also COVID protocols in place, and a fast install. Martin exceeded our expectations and met every single oneHe did the work within one week of our request, which was 3 weeks post op, wore a mask the entire time he worked (he's also vaxxed!) and cleaned up everything beautifully. Tonight my hub can finally go upstairs - because Martin made it happen. He's your expert! Don't waste your time with anyone else. read more

Martin and his crew did an excellent job. First, it's difficult to find people who still do stairs, let alone specialize in it. Most carpenters and contractors shun it and don't want to do it. Martin does stairs every day all day. His guys do quick work, clean up, and even do a good job on finishes and touch ups afterwards. They demo, hauled away old, customized, installed ballustars, posts, customized rail, his other guys painted and stained (all said and done maybe 7 days tops). Fair pricing too. It's not cheap but it's a good price considering what you get. Check out these before and after photos. Thanks Martin. I've referred your card over to several people, including my GC who did other stuff to our home. read more

I had a new staircase designed and installed by Martin Stairways. Martin and his son did impeccable work. My staircase is gorgeous!!

Shortly after my last review, Martin Stairways contacted us and fixed all of our issues. They came and stabilized the post and painted the areas that they worked on. The bannisters, posts, and stairway looks amazing now! Although it took awhile for Martin Stairways to get back to us, when they did, they did not disappoint. They went above and beyond to correct all the problems we had. We are very happy with the workmanship and service we received. Thank you Martin Stairways for the beautiful work! read more

Our staircase is perfection! Martin is just a guy who simply knows what he is doing. AND he's easy to work with, which is very important to me. We gave him a rendering of what we liked, he made some suggestions, and we could not be happier with how it turned out. His craftsmanship is superb. He was professional, efficient, and had great ideas. He's been in this professional for a while now, and it shows. Really, we just LOVE our staircase! We remodeled our entire house and I have to say he is one of the best contractors we had the pleasure of working with. Thank you so much, Martin!!! read more
