New balusters
Description of Work: Apparently I’m not in their service region. The website explicitly states DMV, Pa and WVa. So they don’t service Accokeek, Md. When I pointed that out, they said they will change the website. You’re in business and location is incorrect on your advertising medium...something don’t smell right

They were fantastic. I highly recommend them. We were able to find the right look with wood railings and metal balusters. We did have some of the balusters that came loose, but they came right back and reglued them. They were a pleasure to work with and I would use them again in the future.

The estimate process went very smoothly, Bill did a great job answering all our questions and working with us to find a railing style that we liked. He provided samples for both the railing style and the stain color. The installers worked quickly and efficiently to install the railing, and did a great job. Everyone was very friendly. We are very happy with the finished product, and would absolutely recommend Railtec to others!
Description of Work: Railtec removed our existing iron railing and installed a new wooden railing along the stairs leading up and down from our foyer.

We never got to the estimate, he became very rude and sent me ignorant texts. We scheduled for a Monday and asked me to leave a key. After delaying the project for over a week, he said it was too small of a job and he couldn't do it. I responded that I waited over a week and I asked for him to at least recommend a company that could do the work. He said to not call or text him again, that I'm a grown man and can find my own company. When I voiced my complaint of his unprofessionalism, he simply told me to "tell your mama about it".

Obviously this is an angry man. I never did any work at this job as the work was not even in my scope of expertise. I also informed him that I was simply kidding around with him as he seemed to take things very seriously considering the size of the job...Once again, NO WORK WAS PERFORMED on this job

The railing looks nice, is very sturdy, and the work was completed in a timely manner. There are several minor details that we wish had been addressed during the installation and after completion. The owner is very responsive and easy to work with.

Description of Work: The owner of Railtec personally came to my home, measured and offered some great design options for replacing my stair railings in the foyer and in my upstairs hallway. The estimate he emailed me was very reasonable. The installation was flawless, right down to the custom blending of a stain to perfectly match my new hardwood floors. The end product is extremely well crafted and beautful. I couldn't be happier!!

We were very pleased with the the work Bill and his son Tom did for us. Bill responded to our original call in a very timely manner. He came out and did all the measurements and gave us some wonderful suggestions for our project. He stained and finished the rails and then came out with his son and installed the entire project in half a day. They protected our rugs and stairs with tarps and cleaned up after the job was done. We could not be happier with their work

Bill is very knowledgeable about all details concerning stair rails. He pointed me to websites so that I could choose the style for my home. He also provided many color samples to match the hand rail with the wood floor. Two days were required to complete the work. The technicians were experienced, fast, and nice. The whole process was smooth and efficient.

I went to the Railtec Custom Railings comprehensive website and selected the railing style and materials in advance. I also made an appointment with Mr. Bill Kirchoff, owner of the company. Mr. Kirchoff came to my home, took the time to speak with me about the available options and materials that I selected, confirmed the color of stain that I requested, and took detailed measurements. Although this was a very small job in comparison to the larger homes he works on, Mr. Kirchoff was very polite and expressed appreciation for the business. My wife was at home during the construction and installation of the railing system. She advised that the carpenter was very pleasant, conscientious, neat, and efficient. The install was completed quickly (about 4 hours), without issue, and the carpenter did a very thorough clean up. The new oak railing system (rails, newels, and balusters) looks great with the new wood flooring that we had installed earlier. The railing system is also VERY solid and stable. We are extremely pleased with the final product and would recommend Railtec (and Bill Kirchoff) for any job.

Overall the whole process was great. Bill came and did the estimate, and after we paid half of the price of the project down the next day we were scheduled for two weeks later. Bill came back with his crew and did a great job installing; a few days later his finisher came and sanded, and applied a second coat of clear finish to the woodwork. After the job was complete they emailed us to confirm everything was to our satisfaction.
Description of Work: replace hand rail up full flight of stairs, a 12' railing on split first floor, and 6' railing above stairs on second floor, and a short hand rail between levels of the first floor. sealed/finished oak railings clear/natural finish. Fixed knee wall by replacing drywall with plywood.
