Chicago Metal Stair Installation

It went great, timely and professional, work is solid, price was totally reasonable! Would hire again

Our back stairs metal landing plate was completely rusted and rotted, we scheduled an appointment with AGGO, they came out the next day and suggested the old plate be removed and replaced with a new one. A few days later they came and installed the new plate and we’re very happy with their work!

Absolutely fantastic - they got rid of a terrible old set of wooden stairs and set me up with a great metal ladder that is so sturdy and fits the space perfectly! And they provided a great, reasonable price.

They are very punctual and very professional. The only problem I have is the way they charge. It's $85 per first hour, which is automatic, plus a $35 travel fee. After that, they bill by the hour (in 15 minute increments). The extreme focus on the billable hour makes them seem more expensive than they are. They should consider billing in 6 minute increments like lawyers. The extreme focus on the billable hours is strange as even lawyers are moving away from it. Nevertheless, they are very timely, competent and professional.

Great! The crew was prompt, professional, and rolled with all or our requests. We had a few days of rain delays, they restained/resealed a few or the decks because the rain came in so fast they didn't dry properly. They drilled extra holes in the landings where we noticed the water pooling. Julio offered to come back if we noticed anything that needed retouching etc.

Todd Yeates arrived on time. Each riser and tread had to be custom cut to fit the stairway which has a slightly warped wainscot. The job was completed in a reasonable amount of time and was installed to excellent quality. I provided the materials which were commercial quality rubber treads and risers, which completey cover the stairs. The nails which came with the replacement metal stair edging that transitions from the floor to the first riser did not work on the floor. Todd came up with the alternate plan to screw them in with shallow screws. So he is able to solve those little issues that sometimes come up on the spot and leave a nice result.

Everything worked well. Extra molding had to be installed at the top of the staircase in order to provide a solid support for the gate. Used white molding so it was not very visible against the white walls. Solid installation.

Ken and the folks at AGGO did an excellent job with our stairs. They came very quickly to give an estimate and listen carefully to our problem. They completed the work quickly, efficiently, and for a great price--easily beating other bids.

The art of correct stair construction is really fascinating and so important to safety and comfort in the house. We had both an education and really impressive stairs and railings when Jay finished his work. I have to say that Jay, the owner, is both an extremely exacting man coupled with a really cool artistic streak. He had to tackle the old stairs in our house which were not constructed correctly (now I know why it was so weird to use our steps as they were not made correctly and the treads were too narrow)...we were a bit resistant to replace the old balasters and railings but he was extremely patient while explaining why it wouldn't work with just a partial makeover, especially with the Craftsman style we wanted to go with. The other thing really great about Jay is that he worked with both our installer of our floors and myself in getting the job done. I wanted to save money and do all the staining and painting of the stair components. Jay not only supported that but dropped off pieces as he constructed them with good instructions on which were to be stained or which needed to be primed and painted. I thought he had a wonderful perfectionist drive which results in absolutely stunning stairs. I never even knew I could love a new design in the stairs...never even crossed my mind to change it but now anyone walking in to our split level sees Jay's expert design. We had a Memorial Day Party and most of the guests said it felt like they were walking into a completely different house. Absolutely the finest craftman you could get in addition to be being dependable plus just an overall nice guy to be around. I told him that he definitely uses both sides of his brain for the art and science of stair design.

We hired Pear Tree for a huge stair conversion. We originally purchased our house with a spiral staircase and needed to convert that to a normal staircase for safety and convenience. It was a big project including cutting the floor joists, moving around electrical and plumbing, dry wall, and of course carpentry. The design Steven came up with was beautiful and something we would have never thought of on our own. They worked with us every step of the way to ensure our satisfaction and actually made a week of construction in our home feel painless! Their work was clean, speedy, and the outcome was fantastic! What a transformation! Thank you to Steven and the team for a wonderful staircase!!!
