Review by Jill D. in Gloucester, MA
Project: Install or Replace Wood Stairs and Railings
We were more than satisfied with Ben. He did excellent work and did our stairs exactly as we wanted them. He showed up everyday on time and had the job finished in the time frame he quoted he would. He was friendly and professional and we felt comfortable having him our home. Our house was clean everyday when we came home which we appreciated. I would recommend Ben to anyone looking for a contractor and we are planning on using him again in the future.

Review by Teri J. in Marblehead, MA
Project: Install or Replace Wood Stairs and Railings
I called Ben out of desperation d/t a pair of contractors that had no idea how to install wrought iron balisters and wood veener risers on our staircase. I was thrilled to know not only could he fix their issues, but get it done the very week I called. Ben is an amazing craftsman. He has an eye for detail. He turned our staircase into a work of art. I would never dream of using anyone but Ben for finish carpentry. His price was fair, he was on time and kept the work area clean. He was very pleasant and again a true craftsman.
